Yesterday my cousin and her beautiful new baby girl came to visit. I know it can be tiring as a new mum and as my cousin hasn’t been well so I wanted to make some food for her to put in the freezer. To have on hand for her for lunch, hubby’s lunchbox, an easy dinner or for unexpected visitors.
I made some cinnamon muffins and a delicious bacon and vegetable slice, it is really yummy and filled with so many vegetables. My kids really enjoy it too. This recipe can be made the old fashion way with a grater and mixing bowl, or using a thermomix, both recipes are below.

Mmm that looks so yummy might have to make it 🙂
ooh yum! will have to do some juggling with ingredients and make it a Paleo friendly recipe 😉 Will let you know how I get on.
This is very similar to the Taste zucchini slice recipe. I use 1/4 cup melted butter instead of the oil.
you may have just saved me for dinner…I was just OMG WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!?! and all I have out is bacon. hahah And a TON of fresh veg from the markets to use up. 😀
I have a similar zucchini pie recipe but the prep work is why I don’t make it often. Might have to try this one… dairy free for this house though.
a slightly different take on that all time Womens Weekly fave…..zucchini slice!!! TK xx
Dinner tomorrow night 😉
It would freeze really well
anything with bacon HAS to be good!
I make a version of this every week. Sometimes use grated carrot instead of corn….good for all occasions!
Yum
This looks fab. Cleverly disguised veggies for my fussy toddler. And as for the question about meals to freeze…..hubby works away so I have a good stash of bolognese, stews, fried rice and risottos in the freezer. So I usually only have to prepare the side dishes or the odd serve of meat/chicken/fish. For those times when I need to get dinner pronto.
argh! The top of it says cook time 25 minutes, and the instructions say 35-40…should have read the whole thing before I committed to it. Boys’ll be having vegemite sandwiches tonight I think, while Hubby and I have a late dinner.
I have a recipe that is quite similar to this. I don’t like the oil in it so I just add an extra egg instead and it turns out perfectly 🙂
Thanks Katrina. Do you have a version of this recipe for some of us non-TMX owners ???
Non-tmx recipe (just grate the vegies)
Don’t worry, I followed your link and found the Julie recipe…sorry
what do we use if we don’t have the thermomix pls.
Oh my goodness this is yummy. The husband and 4 year old love it to. I’m going to make it again for our play group picnic on Friday. Thanks for the recipe, definitely a keeper.
Just made this, Yum! Everyone ate it!
This is one of my favourite sides so easy and more flavours than zucchini slice. It is really a recipe you can just throw everything in a bowl, mix and bake 🙂
So easy and delicious. I like to make these up and freeze into portions for lunch snacks through the week also
