Last week I shared a recipe for a tasty meat pie with potato crust. This week I have cheese and bacon frizzles.

Ingredients

1 large potato, grated

Half an onion, peeled and very finely chopped

50g Cheddar cheese

4 rashers back bacon, de-rinded and finely chopped

4 tablespoons self-raising flour

1 egg, beaten

Freshly ground black pepper

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method

Put all the ingredients in a bowl, except the oil, and beat well. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the mixture to the pan in spoonfuls and fry for seven minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately with baked beans or scrambled eggs. Enjoy!

Soaps from Chardine

Handcrafted goat’s milk skincare products are available from Nu Leaf in Vorster Avenue, Glenanda. The products contain only 100 per cent pure goat’s milk, carefully selected with natural raw materials and essential oils, no artificial colours or fragrances, parabens and chemicals.

The handmade soap combines 100 per cent goat’s milk with five luxury oils, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema or psoriasis. Throughout the centuries, goat’s milk has been used as a luxurious moisturiser and a beauty treatment.

Goat’s milk contains lactic acid which helps exfoliate, soften, cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. It also contains proteins, amino acids and vitamin A, which nourish the skin. Because it has a PH level similar to that of human skin, it also helps protect against daily exposure to invading bacteria.

Nu leaf stocks the soap, a liquid wash and milk bath soak; in the facial range: silky cleanser, toner and day cream; and in the Baby Range: baby soap and lotion.

That’s it for this week. Shop till you drop!
