This has to be the easiest muffin recipe ever. I mean, I am fully aware that muffins are easy to make but this is utterly ridiculous. All you do is stuff the ingredients in a blender, blend and scoop. And the best part is NO FLOUR and NO SUGAR! And yes, they are mouth-watering yummy.
Ingredients include peanut butter, one egg, one banana, baking soda, vanilla extract, honey and chocolate chips, which are optional.
I have finally discovered how to get Georgie to eat cauliflower. All I had to do was mix it up with butter, garlic and of course remember to break out those snow peas he loves so much, as a sider. We’ve tried mashed cauliflower in the past, which I swear is almost just as good as mashed potatoes, but the addition of rice was one he appreciated more.
Georgie woke up unusually early this morning. ‘Mummy, I want carrot cake!’ he shouted every five minutes until I got up. It looked like our morning was going to be slow albeit beautiful and spring-scented. The light put me in the mood for photos, cooking and baking. I prepared a batch of bread dough, pulled together a nutella braided bread, made oven baked peas, sweet potato and carrot in tomato sauce for dinner and these mini vegetable pot pies for lunch. This was the first time I tried this recipe and although Georgie and I gulped down two each, I would make it less time-consuming next time. Just add instant gravy to boiled vegetables. Any vegetable will do and an extra topping of mashed potatoes was nice.
I’ve been meaning to attempt more bread recipes but I’m afraid my options are limited. Currently, I am stuck on dry active yeast based recipes but I do plan to start my sourdough ‘feeding’ that will able me to go for more bread baking options.The moment I saw the words ‘rosemary’ and ‘garlic’, I was sold. I love garlic bread, so I gave this recipe a go without hesitation. It’s an easy bread recipe albeit an impatient one. Start in the morning if you plan to have some for dinner because there’s a five hour wait with a step in between before you pop it in the oven. Some fuss, yes but worth it. I messed up the first loaf I put in the oven and wasn’t very happy with the result but the second one was heaven. Dipped in olive oil with a plate of tomato sauce spaghetti? Truly yummy.As you can see, this one flattened after I tried to cut it, mainly because I baked it with the grill on! Let’s hope I remember to not switch the grill on when I bake this again.
I have finally conquered my fear of anything that involves yeast and have made my first bread. I can’t tell you how shocked I was to discover it looked good and tasted heavenly. Georgie and I devoured half of it before papa came home and we had more for dinner along with Camembert cheese.
This is the perfect bread to make if you’re short on time or a beginner. Nothing but
