I love Beef Cheeks... but sometimes I just want to do them a different way... don't get me wrong, I love them slow cooked with red wine and served with mash or pasta... but this is a magnificent way to cook your beef cheeks, with your vegetables, and your pasta all in one pot! GENIUS!!!! It only takes 10-15min to prepare and then leave it on the stove, or in your trusty slow cooker for a few hours and Mary's Your Aunty (I just felt like saying something different to Bob's Your Unlcle) haha... there is dinner! TEXT "BEEF CHEEKS" TO 0417 779 374 to order yours!
Now a lot of you know that Jonah and I follow a Low FODMAP Diet because we have some tummy troubles and finding a good recipe can be hard, but finding a real 100% Spelt Sourdough is even harder.... I HAVE THE SOLOUTION!!! AND SHE IS WONDERFUL!!! I asked Katie, from The Wonky Loaf, if she could try to do a 100% Organic Spelt Sourdough... AND SHE DID IT!!!! This is the real stuff... (we were happy to be your test bunnies so you can now all enjoy it too!)
So if you are also on a LOW FODMAP Diet (OR JUST LOVE SOURDOUGH) and live on the Sunshine Coast, come down and see Katie & I at the Marcoola Markets every Saturday 8am - 12noon. https://www.facebook.com/thewonkyloaf/
