Glorious rain kept me from my planned tasks this afternoon. Instead, I opted for fun with food. I stumbled upon this idea a few nights ago and it tickled my fancy.
I didn’t follow the recipe, I just made a meatloaf mix of a little beef, a little lamb, breadcrumbs, an egg, onion, garlic, a diced zucchini, a few diced mushrooms and some worcestershire sauce. I most certainly did not use instant mashed potato. I went for a traditional mash with parmesan and then gave it a whizz in the thermomix for a creamy texture. These little beauties were served with steamed broccoli and corn on the cob.
The Ankle Biters were tickled pink. The Bread Winner thinks I’m strange.
i love it! were they good? what a great way to get the kids to eat some veggies etc. Mine just seem to off food. sigh
They were delicious! The piglets had two each. That includes the Bread Winner. I do make a good meatloaf if I say so myself, it always goes down a treat. Making them into cupcakes just made them more appealing.
These are fabulous! What a great idea, and I can just imagine how children would love these! Very cute.

These look like a seriously good recipe for the January TMX Australia picnic/poolside food. Great idea – both for visual and to get the ABs eating them. 🙂

Love the idea. Maybe I could get Dad to eat zucchini this way. A couple of weeks ago he had chocolate cake and it had grated zucchini in it! Also a good idea for Zander.
Thanks Docwitch. The ABs were still talking about them at creche this morning. They told everyone bout them LOL.
They’d be good poolside food for sure T’Mixer, not sure about picnic though with the mash on top. I like my mash hot. The AB’s probably wouldn’t care though.
Jen I don’t think the zucchini was even noticeable. You could certainly grate it and he wouldn’t pick it. He eats zucchini in my spag bog, he just doesn’t realise. Z might indeed like these.
Not strange at all. Very, very cool! 🙂

I know Phillippa, it’s really the Bread Winner who is strange ; p
This is brilliant. I laughed out loud and can’t wait to make this! Thank you.
