Veggie Sausage Rolls

Here's a recipe for vegetarian "sausage" rolls. I recently took these to mums group and Trin's hens party only to find people thinking they weren't vegie! I originally got this recipe from Bec McKinlay - thanks Bec!

Veggie Sausage Rolls

Ingredients:
½ cup pecan nuts (chopped finely)
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 onion (finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic
2 eggs
1 tbsp soy sauce
fresh rosemary
Puff pastry sheets

Recipe:
Mix together all ingredients except pastry.

Grease a baking tray. Cut puff pastry sheets in half. Spoon mixture down the centre and roll up so it looks like one long sausage roll. Make small slices in top of pastry every 4cm or so - this is to help you cut the long roll into smaller pieces when you've finished baking. Baste top of roll with beaten egg. Bake at around 180 for 25 min - that's a rough guess, just keep an eye on them till the pastry looks fluffy and golden (there is no meat to cook after all!).

Make double this mixture to take as a plate of food to share at a picnic. You can add just about anything other spice really. You could probably even make a sweet version - leave out the onion/soy/rosemary/garlic and add fruit/honey instead.

Month Two!

We housesat for Janelle for a month. Elsey came up from Sydney as did Huddo and Ben. Was great to have them drop by! Thanks for the beautiful flowers Dave! Edward went on his first orienteering trip. We also visited Tash and Oliver for lunch. Edward also had his first German lesson with Bernie.

Gee looking back on these you realise how tiny a newborn is. He was so fragile and delicate!

Heading Home

Here are a few pics from the day we went home from the hospital. Edward was 2.5 days old.

Family Visits

The first few days in hospital were an experience. All three of us were exhausted and learning about how we were going to work together. All went well and we were looked after brilliantly by the staff at North West.
Visits by both sets of new Grandparents: Granddad & Grandma and Borys & Nana; and Aunty Erin.

D-day

It was a while ago now, but here are pictures of Edward when he was just a few minutes old.

Back to the Blog!

So it's been almost 7 months since D-day and I've finally gotten back to the blog! I'm jumping on the fact that Edward is sleeping in. Prepare to be posted to!
