Cider Apple Chicken with Mushroom Sauce & Oz’s Messy Meal Family Sponsored By Nuffnang As part of the Finish Quantum We Love Messy Meals campaign, I’ve been experimenting with some of my favourite messy meals. I know it’s rare that we put together the word “favourite” and “messy” in the same sentence. However, it’s not all bad news if you make a mess out of your kitchen, dining room or wherever you have your meals as Finish is on the hunt to find Australia’s messiest meal family who can put Finish Quantum to the ultimate test. Seriously, it’s high time we get rewarded to be messy, ha! So before you start organising food fight party instead of a Halloween party, you gotta know what you’re in for. The winning family will earn themselves $25,000 and star in the next Quantum Finish TV ad. Since we are on the topic of messy meal, it got me thinking about washing up. Here are my two school of thoughts when it comes to washing up:- (a) If you love cooking, washing up makes part of the process. (b) If you love cooking, it’s ok to hate washing up. Ingredients:

Rainbow Cake in a Jar I’ve always had a penchant for sunshine in a jar. Doesn’t the very phrase itself, “sunshine in a jar,” roll off your tongue and fill your mouth with magic? While I’ve never yet found myself a sunshine in a jar, I think we may have just concocted it in our kitchen tonight. In this simple recipe, a basic white cake is turned into a slew of bright colors, baked to perfection, then topped with a creamy white frosting. Cakes baked in jars can be topped with traditional metal canning lids and stored in the fridge for up to five days. Rainbow Cake in Jar 1 box white cake mix made according to package instructionsNeon food coloring in pink, yellow, green, turquoise, and purple3 one-pint canning jars1 can vanilla frostingRainbow sprinkles Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop about 1/2 cups of cake batter into five small bowls. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the purple batter into the bottom of each jar.

Cheesecake in a Jar Recipe I’m fairly certain that I’ve discussed my lack of love for the great outdoors, so it’s safe to say you’ll never hear me writing about long hikes in the woods or camping anywhere other than on a deck chair at a five star resort (Hey, I can dream, right?). Not to say that I am not fond of the fresh air and scenery, I just like to keep a screen between me and the bugs. Needless to say, I don’t last long at picnics in the park or anywhere outdoors for that matter. Usually an annoying fly or buzzing bee will send me into a fit within 20 minutes and I’ll sit there contemplating my escape route or the idea of eating in my air conditioned vehicle. Problem is, I am a big pan of picnic food. Then, a couple of friends came up with the idea of a virtual picnic. The Nature Conservancy has a website that is devoted to Picnic for the Planet.

We Aren’t Living In A Vacuum; Coping Strategies For Navigating Fat Hate First and foremost: Thank you. Thank you so very much. Y’all made me cry THREE TIMES at work yesterday. I was joking, on Twitter last night, and asked if I should talk about kittens or shoes today. Predictably (because I know and love y’all), kittens in shoes won out. Haters, oh, haters. It’s not right and it’s not our fault – but it all-too-commonly IS something we have to deal with. 1. 2. 3. I’ve had a lot of therapy over the years. This is because I am a nerd. So I’d remind myself and then I’d distract myself. I’m also a big fan of distraction. That’s one reason I think it’s important to have some friend who are into FA – they don’t have to be fat but they do have to be people you trust not to bring up how many carbs are in a piece of pizza when you’re trying to have a fun Saturday night. It’s important to note that none of this solves the essential problem of people being douchebags to fatties. We’ve still got to cope – and we’ve got to cope in ways that don’t penalize US.
