Sweet treats and recent eats...

On sunday I did a fair bit of cooking... I made some sweet treats for a care package for my darling. It included some raspberry slice, chocolate almond fudge and some rocky road but I only took a photo of the raspberry coconut slice.

I also made some tapioca in coconut milk (which I have made previously so didn't photograph) some pumpkin soup (ditto) and some savoury muffins. This time I used a different recipe and it was AMAZING!

Corn and Bacon Muffins (adapted with a few tweaks from a woman's weekly recipe)

1 310g tin creamed corn

1/2 cup skim milk

2 eggs

2 cups SR flour (or equivalent in plain + baking soda)

140g short cut bacon

1 cup low fat grated cheese

Couple of shallots, chopped finely

salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 200 deg

Whisk corn, eggs and milk until combined.

Mix everything else in until just combined.

Stick in muffin tins .

Cook for 15-20 minutes until brown on top.

Take out of oven and let cool in the tin for a bit.

Eat one. Eat another. Marvel at the moistness and yumminess. Eat another one then put them away so they cannot be seen....

I froze some and stuck a couple in the fridge as well and buzzed in the microwave they were great. They were really moist even after a couple of days, Im guessing because of all the creamed corn.

Lamb sausages, broccolini and white bean mash. Made the puree in my food mill, will have to post a piccie soon !

Chilli con carne and homemade guacomole. Coriander on top. Apparently some people really really hate coriander both the taste and smell. To some people it tastes like soap. Very strange. I love coriander with mexican, asian and indian food but I agree that the smell is quite pungent!

Back soon,
