Sausage Sizzle Recipe

Sausage Sizzle

20 Students

Allow 2 sausages per person, plus 10 extra (just in case)

We used 2½ loaves of bread

250gm grated cheese

½ cabbage

4 or 5 grated carrots

Coleslaw dressing or mayonnaise

There was heaps of coleslaw left over. Next time I will make less.

Sausage Sizzle and Jelly Slice

This Friday was Harmony Day, so I made colourful Jelly Slice for the occasion. Sallie and Nelson had the sausages sizzling away, while Indy did a great job chopping up the cabbage for the coleslaw. We also had platters of vegies, which the kids picked at, I'm working on ways to get them to eat more vegies.

Kids in the Kitchen Week 7

This week it's Tacos and Vanilla Cupcakes.

I have 3 packs of Tacos, which will make 45. This will allow for 2 each, assuming some might only eat one, and some three.

I am making extra cupcakes for Active After School Activities. So I decided to make 5 dozen, as there are at least 25 kids that do Active and nearly the same for lunches. Even though there may be left overs they never go to waste.

Update:
Due to technical difficulties there are no photo's this week.

Also there was way too much mince. 1 1/2kgs would have been heaps. I froze the left overs and use it for another lunch.

Rice Recipe

The methods of cooking rice is really a personal preference. I am using this recipe.
For 20 kids I am going to make this much:

5C of Rice
7.5C of Water

Update: this was a good amount 1/4 C of rice per student

Kids in the Kitchen Week 6

This week we are making Dahl with a recipe supplied by a lovely Mum, Suzi. The students have enjoyed this Dahl before and it is back by popular demand.

I am trying double the recipe as it is served with rice I think it will be enough.


Update: The kids loved it and I could have done 3x the recipe

I made double the recipe and added an extra potato and had an extra can of tomatoes if needed.

Hamburger and Frog in a Pond

So this week was another success in the Kitchen. THANK YOU to the lovely Mum's that came to help. There were 4 Mum helpers which meant we had lunch ready early and were super organised. I think the students really enjoyed having their Mum's at school helping out. Dad's (or other significant adults) are also welcome.

One thing to remember is that if parents want to help out they must have a working with children check. This is available online, Lindy in the office is available to help with this.

Here are this weeks Chefs serving the Hamburgers

Hamburgers Recipe

26 Burgers

I have decided to allow 100gm of meat per student as a general rule. However with the addition of eggs, breadcrumbs and onion, 2kgs of mince ended up weighing 2.7 kgs so I made 26 burgers. Here’s what I did:

2kg mince

4 eggs

1C bread crumbs

1 medium onion finely diced in food processor

½C Tomato Sauce

1tbsp Salt

Put all the ingredients together and mix well. I used my hands. Then I weighed out the patties and squashed them into shape, stacked them on a tray (first I made sure the tray would fit in the fridge), in between layers of baking paper. Wrapped in glad wrap and refrigerated overnight, on the bottom shelf of the fridge.

Fillings:

2 Iceberg Lettuce, washed and broken up, chopped up (whatever you prefer)

1kg tomatoes, washed and sliced

500gm cheese, sliced in food processor (it’s heaps cheaper)

Tomato sauce

30 Buns

I am going to get the kids to cook the burgers, cut the buns, and prepare fillings.

Also get the kids to serve the meal, they enjoy that part.

UPDATE: 
1 iceberg lettuce would have been plenty
1/2 kg tomatoes also would be enough
