A nice hearty pie for a cold night?? You could easily cheat and used bought pastry and frozen blueberries, which would make it pretty quick and easy to make.

FINNISH MUSHROOM POTATO CAKE
I’m not quite sure what makes this Finnish, but as I’ve never been to Finland and know very little about their food I guess it could be from there. Wherever it’s from I do like the idea of mashed potatoes, mushrooms and onions baked together.
BEEF AND PASTA BAKE
This is a nice meaty pasta bake with carrot, celery and mushrooms cunningly hidden to fool those picky eaters. I like that you can make it and freeze it as it’s always great to have something in the freezer for those busy or lazy nights when you just don’t have time or feel like cooking.
CHICKEN, CAULIFLOWER & BACON GRATIN
I know why Mum cut this recipe out and saved it, she really liked cauliflower. Some people might think cauliflower is a bit bland, but it’s really very versatile. It’s great topped with a white sauce and cheese, soaks up curry sauces deliciously, you can roast it with a little oil and of course just boil it. This is the first time I’ve seen it used in a recipe like this, but I think it should taste quite good this way.
QUICK CHOC-CARAMEL SLICE
I like the combination of ingredients in this slice recipe. Caramels, chocolate, peanuts and rice bubbles sound like they’d go well together. If you were worried about adding in the peanuts it would be quite easy to double up the chocolate, can’t see why that would be any sort of problem.
UPSIDE-DOWN DESSERT
I’m wondering if you could call this an Australian Tarte Tartin. The main difference from the French version is that this one has a sponge base and not pastry. This recipes uses apricots and walnuts in the topping, but you could use apples or even pears if you wanted to.
LAMB BARLEY SOUP
It might put you off that this old recipe because it starts off “Place the barley in a large bowl. Cover with water; soak overnight”. But if you be bothered doing it the barley will make the soup delicious and when you add in the lamb and vegetables you’ll end up with a very hearty and warming winter dish.
ASIAN NOODLE SOUP
This is a quick and easy Chicken and Sweet Corn soup. I usually use Chicken Noodle Soup when I make the easy version, but I like this idea of using 2 minute noodles instead. The soup looks thicker and chunkier.
LEMON AND BLUEBERRY TART
I haven’t made this Lemon and Blueberry Tart yet as I’ve only just found the recipe in Mum’s collection. It looks great though and pretty easy to make. Because it uses frozen blueberries you can make it all year round, so I think I’ll try it out for our next family get together.
SAUSAGE POTS WITH CORN CHIP CRUMBLE
This seems like a great way to give beef sausages a bit of a kick. Chilli, kidney beans and corn chips all topped with melted cheese, sort of a fake Mexican dish.
