What are you been cooking today

[achookwoman]

Maddy,  these are great.   I have a 'complete' ginger bread man.   Could I bite the leg and head off ,  to get the same effect.?

I made Trudys orange muffins, but made them into jaffa  muffin tops instead.....ready Judy......using a muffin top tin from Woolworths


Using an icecream scoop, flatten the mix around the base of tray (little more than I have pictured here)

Jaffa muffin tops.....the best bit of the muffin  Crunchy out side, soft inside.

Huh!  I've got one of those tins - NOW I know what it's for! lol
I just make 'mini-muffins' in them

I've had a Cookie1 day in my kitchen today - made her Chicken Breast with capers, anchovies and sundried tomatoes in the varoma and her Cherry ice-cream only has one more beating to go and I'm finished for the night.

Tonight I made rainbow's Easy Carbonara so that I could use up leftover chicken from Cookie's Chicken with capers, anchovies and sundried tomatoes I made last night. Very tasty.  Now I have leftovers from the leftovers

It sounds like our house Judy. Dh is working next term so he won't be home to eat all the leftovers. Look out freezer.

Had visitors for a light lunch today and served

Freshly baked bread rolls
Chicken Kiev
Green Goddess Rice
Steamed carrots, beans and cauliflower
Raspberry brownies/home-made chocolate ice-cream
Freshly made lemonade

They went home with a pile of lemons and some rolls for later.

They were certainly given a lovely lunch Judy. Did you enjoy doing it all?

[judydawn]

I did very little Cookie.  I had the uncrumbed chicken kievs, the rice and the desserts in the freezer so all I had to do this morning was make the rolls & crumb the chicken before they got here then it was just a matter of steaming the prepared vegies whilst the chicken was in the oven, make the green goddess dressing whilst the rice was heating in the microwave and whip up a batch of lemonade (I had all the ingredients ready to go).
I was even having a conversation the whole time all this was happening so my confidence is growing by the day. I used to hate anyone being in my kitchen when I was preparing a meal.  They thought it was wonderful but to me, it was just an ordinary every day meal.

Judy,  this sounds delicious.   I'll bet they enjoyed taking some things home.

[judydawn]

I find people are very impressed to know everything is made from scratch but they just think I am clever and really don't give the credit to the wonder machine where it really belongs. I love to cook, it loves to work - a marriage made in heaven. A simple thing like a batch of rolls always impresses guests.

Yesterday I made gingerbread cookies from the festive book. Nice and simple

I love these cutters......they're called "already eaten" 

Love the look on the man on the left - like "OMG where's your head?"
