Chocolate Carrot and Ginger Slice

One way to use up leftover icing from store-bought cake mixes.

I've made the family's favourite apple slice a couple of times now but after purchasing two vanilla cake mixes I ended up with unused packets of icing. I asked my Aunt what she did with the icing, only to be told that I could buy vanilla cake mixes without the icing mix!

However, I can't buy a gluten-free cake mix without the icing so I started to investigate gluten-free recipes where I could use the icing. And this was the result: a chocolate carrot and ginger slice.

Low Fat Christmas Pudding

A lovely moist pudding that is lower in fat than our traditional family pudding.

Chilli and Lime Chicken Salad

Perfect for dinner on a hot summer night or as a late-night supper for those returning from an interstate trip!

I'm not sure which magazine I took this recipe from but it seems to be the same as the Chilli and Lime Chicken Salad recipe on the Australian Women's Weekly site. I changed the recipe to cater for Hubby's low sodium diet.
