Anzac CookiesBy Meg's KitchenThe Anzac cookie is a sweet cookie, popular in Australia and New Zealand, made using rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda, boiling water, and desiccated coconut. Anzac biscuits/ cookies have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. It has been claimed that biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily, and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation (Wikipedia). We sure have them to thank for giving the world this wonderful recipe. Its super easy, quick and delicious. It’s been our home favourite for a while now, because of the crispy, chewy texture.

Chunky Crunchy GranolaBy Meg's KitchenThe markets are flooded with varieties of granola, muesli, and energy bars. Most of us are so confused of what the ingredients are, which is a better product, and a healthier one for our families!! All of these are definitely healthier alternatives than binge eating fried namkeens and snacks but that doesn’t make it 100% natural. There is one thing I strongly believe in – anything that is on store shelves for a long period and sold to consumers with a long shelf life, will always have preservatives and additives to extend the shelf life. It cannot be 100% natural. Even though all products have the required licensing and use only food grade, industry approved preservatives and additives it cannot be better than freshly bake homemade granola, using pure ingredients, can it?? So here I present to you an extremely flexible, versatile base recipe to make the yummiest crispy, crunchy granola that you will ever have! Use the ingredients you have available, use the ingredients you enjoy and create customised jar of granola for your family in flat 20 minutes! Try this recipe out and I promise you won’t buy another box of granola from the market again.
