Now what do I do?

I harvested the vegetables from the garden and this is the result. 

I'm thinking beetroot relish, vegie soup and carrot cake :)

<3 my leek. It's so leeky :)

What a cute carrot!! It made me think if Peter Rabbit was real,

 this is the carrot he'd be stealing from my garden.  

Speaking of Peter Rabbit... I'd like to wish a very special young lady a Happy 5th Birthday :) Wish we were there to celebrate it with you, A. xoxo

Cheese and Onion Muffins

To make 12 muffins start by preheating oven to 180 degrees fan forced.  Melt 60g of butter in a measuring jug then add 1 cup of milk and 1 egg. Whisk with a fork to mix.  In a medium mixing bowl mix 250g plain flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary and 1 tablespoon of baking powder until evenly distributed.   Add to this 1 packet (200g) of Kraft's Italian Cheese blend, 1 finely diced onion and 2 cloves of crushed garlic.  Mix again.  Make a well in the middle of the dry mix and add wet mixture. Mix until just combined; about 15 strokes.  Grease a muffin tray with olive oil spray and distribute the mix evenly.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until brown on top and muffin springs back when poked.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

A variation of Nigella Lawson's recipe because I don't measure with cups and tablespoons anymore and I can't find red food colouring paste.  I used this handy website to convert the recipe.

Makes 12 cupcakes
100g unsalted butter
225g of caster sugar
3 tbsp red food colouring (eg Queens Pillarbox Red)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 XL eggs
210g  plain flour, sifted
2 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup of milk

Cream butter and sugar together then add vanilla and food colouring gradually.  Beat in eggs then sift in half the powders.  Fold in. Add the milk and fold in. Add the balance of powders and fold in.  Beat on high for 2 minutes.  Bake at 170 degrees C fan forced for 20-25 minutes.  Cool then add icing. For the icing, beat 100g of unsalted butter with 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence.  Then add 200g of icing sugar and beat until fluffy.
