We thankfully had just wrapped up our lunch when I heard that the dreaded loadshedding is back today!
Loadshedding I hear many ask; well that is when our country's power utility turn off the lights area by area or block by block, according to a schedule.
Why do they do this?
Because the power utility Eskom messed up big time due to large scale corruption and incompetence, so now our country is faced with a power crisis.
Thankfully our area somehow is spared from most of the loadshedding but it affects everyone else around us.

I'd prepped everything for my bRoc-Chick Parcels the night before and got them baked just in time for lunch, so I could sit back and relax without fearing for lights out!

Crispy Phyllo Pastry parcels filled with a Broccoli, Baby Leeks, Chicken, Bacon, Yogurt and Mint filling; inspiration that I got from an awesome local foodie magazine called freshliving which is given out by one of our large supermarket chains Pick n Pay.
The recipe came from their 'Everyday Heroes - Prep School', but I gave it a twist by adding Bacon. Their food styling and recipes are super amazing, mine pales in comparison, but I often prepare our weekdays meals from here with an a-la-lizelle twist.

Mix filling ingredients together and season to taste.

Cut pastry into rectangles, brush with oil and layer 3 sheets on top of each other.

Sorry to hear about the power crisis. My family often experienced rolling blackouts when we lived in Indonesia.

But it looks like you made the best fo things. Your lunch looks incredible.

Thank you so much @iveta!

Hello @lizelle, you are wonderful cook. All of your dishes are presented with such flare. Going to give your recipe a try, it just looks so yummy.

Ah thank you @farm-mom, one can use any filling really! I made a date and seed one that I'll be posting on Monday, that one was so delicious! All the inspiration came from a magazine;)

Hi @lizelle, I will be checking out your Monday post, I really want to try that recipe.
It just looked so yummy.
Enjoy the weekend, my friend.

What a fabulous idea @lizelle. You amaze me with all of these new recipes :) This will be another I'll be sharing in the next week or so! Beautiful, perfect for the family!

It's not me it's that magazine's food editor that is so full of ideas; I just copy and give them little twists;)
Thanks my friend, I'm sure you're going to try something delicious as well!
