It’s almost time for a much needed, absolutely welcome long weekend. This usually means spending time with loved ones and of course…eating. Sitting around the table and sharing a lovingly prepared meal is a tradition without religious denomination and is the perfect way to reconnect with the people you care about. So often our lives become wrapped up in deadlines, school-work and everyday responsibilities that we don’t get to truly enjoy the company of the important people in our lives – laughing, talking and breaking bread. So, in the spirit of family, I have included (with her permission) my own Mother’s amazing roast chicken recipe as well as her (mouthwatering) take on Cauliflower Cheese. Feel free to print out and add to your repertoire of family favourites!

Preheat the oven at 180°C

The Chicken:

Combine Pineapple, onion, greenpepper and pepperdews, stuff the cavity of the chicken with this mixture. Loosen the skin around the breast and thigh area and close the cavity area.

Lightly spray the outside of the chicken with Balsamic vinegar, and seasoning with chicken spice, rosemary, origanum, salt and pepper. When you have stuffed the chicken and seasoned it, place chicken into an oven bag and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 1hr45mins.

The Cauliflower Cheese:

Steam the vegetables until cooked but still firm. While your veggies are steaming, add your beef stock powder to the milk and bring to the boil, turn the heat right down and stir in the Maizena mix (you will only need a little water as this should make a thin paste). Once you have a good consistency sprinkle in your cheese, stirring constantly. Drain veggies and place them in an ovenproof dish, gently pour your cheese sauce over taking care cover them evenly. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top, place in the oven and grill until cheese is golden brown.

Serve and enjoy!

The Gallagher Estate in Midrand played host to yet another fun filled Baba & Kids Indaba. The weekend of the 27^th of May 2011 was yet another for expectant, and already blessed moms to pencil in and enjoy.

Amazing Vouchers was seen at stand 182, surrounded by the likes of Clicks, Woolworths, Kumon and many more.

SABC Education helped set the stage for what was by all accounts a truly successful showcase of professional childcare and education.

One exhibitor felt the show was “filled with professionals”, which would only build on the overall testimony of show goers.

Amazing Vouchers is proud to have offered all those who visited our stand a complimentary membership, to enjoy freebies, discounts and added value vouchers, which, as the Baba & Kids Indaba shows all too well, add fun and value to day-to-day life.

Keep an eye on upcoming exhibitions, as Amazing Vouchers could be in your vicinity, and ready to make your day.

Thank you to the organisers of the Indaba for yet another splendid event!

Husky Rescue South Africa is a non-profit organization that specializes in the rescue and re-homing of huskies and other Nordic breeds of dogs. With the popularity of the Siberian, Malamute and other Nordic breeds increasing over the last couple of years, they have found a dramatic increase in the number of lost and abandoned dogs.

An increase in demand results in an increase of supply and as a result irresponsible backyard breeders have flooded neighbourhoods with puppies without educating people on the very specific needs of these breeds of dogs. Families have found themselves unable or unwilling to accommodate the needs of the dogs and dogs are found roaming the streets, abandoned or even worse, abused. These factors contributed to the creation of Husky Rescue South Africa.

In aid of raising much needed funds to support those animals neglected, Husky Rescue South Africa hosted their annual golf day on the 11^th of November 2010. Many keen golfers and dog lovers attended, cementing the fact that there was support and drive to better the lives of these beautiful animals.

Amazing Vouchers sponsored the main prize of a week’s free accommodation at one of our luxury self-catering accommodation units. This prize alone was valued at over R 10 000, paving the way for others to dig deep and donate.

Amazing Vouchers is grateful for the wonderful work that Husky Rescue South Africa is doing. We look forward to a day when all animals have safe and peaceful homes where they are loved and cared for.
