For a GF Hot Cross Bun, check out Kersten's Kitchen

For a Thermomix recipe, I have used this Hot Cross Buns - Thermomumma Recipe and left out the cinnamon, nutmeg and saltanas and added in carob buttons and nestle white melts. They were delicious and disappeared in seconds! 

New Recipes Urgently Needed!

 I am sure you would all agree, we desperately need some NEW failsafe recipes that are easy to access. Often delicious recipes are shared on facebook groups and get lost in the newsfeed and never to be seen again. We are looking for people who would like to share their recipes with our failsafe community by having them appear as a guest blogger on our At The Failsafe Table web site. Having your recipes on a blog means they can be pinned on pinterest, book marked and easily be found again.

If you have a recipe you would like to share, please email it to admin@failsafetable.com with detailed instructions, photos if you have any (but not essential), and if it was adapted from another recipe please include the original link.

We look forward to seeing your creations!

Easter Egg Hunt

Domestic Diva has some ideas on doing an Easter Egg hunt when on the failsafe diet. Using plastic eggs that you can fill yourself. You can purchase them from most bargain shops and craft stores. They can fill be filled with failsafe sweets/lollies or trinkets and toys. You can turn it into a fun treasure hunt (check out the printable) or a fitness treasure hunt. even fill with glow sticks or battery operated candles for a night time activity or for entertainment while camping.

 Mary Urim’s Paska

"Paska is a traditional Easter bread made in Eastern European countries including Poland, Ukraine, and Slovakia.  Christian symbolism is associated with this bread.  My grandmother, mother, and various relatives make this bread each year for Easter.   I have been making it for the last several years. Paska is a sweet bread, and raisins are a good addition if you like raisins.  I do not, and therefore, I do not add them.  Paska is also a hearty, rich bread, but it has this amazing ability to feel light and almost fluffy when toasted.  It is a good complement to kielbasa, or any sandwich.  I prefer mine with butter – lots of butter!"

Italian Ricotta Pie

A Family Feast: "Italian Ricotta Pie is a classic, traditional recipe – often served at Easter. I think our Italian Ricotta Pie will make any fan of traditional Italian foods very happy!  (Especially those of you who love Italian desserts!)

This pie has a lightly sweetened, very moist ricotta cheese filling, and a thick, rustic crust with hints of both vanilla and almond flavors. Interestingly – this recipe does not use butter in the crust. Extra virgin olive oil is used instead – and it totally works – giving the crust a crispy, flaky and almost cookie-like texture on the outer edges, and the bottom crust under the ricotta cheese filling is slightly cake-like in texture." 

This Recipe is not on a Failsafe blog. Make sure you use Rice Bran oil to replace the olive oil and leave out the almond extract. [Direct link to the recipe]

Fed Up Website: Fish and seafood must be very fresh, best eaten within 12 hours of catch or frozen and eaten within 2 weeks (in my experience, supermarket fish and seafood is never fresh enough). White fish or seafood, e.g. snapper, barramundi, whiting, crab, lobster, oysters, calamari, scallops (but not salmon, tuna or prawns). Best from specialty fish shops, fishing co-ops and friends who fish, ask for the freshest and eat that day. [read more]

BBQ Fish Wraps - Domestic Diva: BBQ fish in garlic butter, chives and parsley then served in a wrap with salad is our favourite no fuss picnic meal. We came up with this great alternative after our kids started reacting to the antioxidants in the oil or batter from take away fish and chip shops. So instead of getting the shop to cook it, we decided to buy the fish fresh and cook it ourselves on the bbq’s at the park or beach. This is also the way we love to dine on Good Friday.

Sam’s Barra Cakes - Fed Up: Barramundi is the iconic fish from Australia’s Top End, also known as Sea Bass. If you can’t get fresh Barramundi, any fresh white boneless fish fillets will do. For amine responders, fish must be very fresh, not frozen. 

Fish Stir Fry - Cooking for Oscar:  Fish stir fry has been a bit of a constant in our house. Not made every week, it is one of those recipes that I have been trying to perfect since the early days, so keep revisiting.  I think I finally have it right now – thank’s to Failsafe Foodie’s Magic Sauce.  Because this recipe is so old it has low salicylate/amine options and higher options.  Fish needs to be very fresh, and white, to be low in amines.  Older white fish or salmon can be used for an amine challenge.
