Foccacia bread

Ok so this is a cheat's foccacia but it works for me. I just made the dough in the breadmaker and then shaped it into a circle, then baked it for an hour or so at 180. Next time I will make it thinner and cook it for a bit less. It was still very tasty.

This was the perfect accompniment (I can't spell that word!) to our spicy sausage and lentil soup! Thanks to Sophie for anothe great recipe. I'm getting so much use out of her latest book 100+ $10 meals.

Apple upside down pudding

In our family everyone gets pudding on Sunday night so I am always on the lookout for tasty, healthyish new ideas. The other day I was looking through the good old Edmonds (kiwi favourite!) and came across a recipe for upside down apple pudding. We served it warm with whipped cream on the side and it was so so yummy - perfect for a cold winter evening.

English muffins

Nick and I love tasty treats to eat but our modest way of living doesn't allow us to buy them as often as we'd like so any chance I get to make them I give it a go. I found this recipe for English muffins on Sophie Grey's website  http://www.destitutegourmet.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=90     They're a little time consuming but easy to make. They taste delicous when toasted, just as good as the bought ones. And at about $1.50 for 12 about quarter of the price.

 

Sticky lemon slice

Well I apologise for not doing much blogging lately. The cursor jumps all over the place mucking up my blog when I'm trying to type. If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell me!

A while back we had some lemons so I had a go at Julie Biuso's sticky lemon slice. It was absolutely delicous and very easy to make. http://www.juliebiuso.com/recipes/recipe.php?rid=42&pref=nz to check it out.
