I can't stop baking....

Cookies... muffins...

It's so addictive.

Made peanut butter and choc chip cookies the other day... today I am making carrot muffins...

Gawd knows what they will turn out like

. I roughly followed a recipe and then started chuking all kinds of things in.... um.. penut butter.. vanilla yoghurt... oh, also trying out an egg substitute cos I'm trying to be vegan.

Can't wait to see how they come out...

Beetroot and choc muffins or cookies next... need to go out and get more supplies...

I love all types of cooking but I hate baking.

Don't get me wrong - I can do it, I just hate the mess and also the feel of flour on my hands..

But I do bake cakes now and then and make my own pastry etc.

It didn't work...

The muffins looked great in the oven... but collapsed on cooling..proper collapsed.

The egg substitute was useless..

... yet two women on you tube demonstrated making a beautiful carrot cake using it and the cake came out fab.

Back to the drawing board....

*Mental note: Quit with the peanut butter*

Maybe the carrots are used as scaffolding for the cakes?

I need to get my head around blue tooth stuff and get pics onto computer... yes.. the muffins are a testament to just how things can go wrong with baking... they need to be documented..

I added plenty of carrot Blizz..... Its the egg that is the scaffolding...
I used flax seed paste as directed by the lovely women on you tube,,, as egg substitute and it bombed.. perhaps I mixed it up wrong...

I am veggie already Isadora, and it seems the natural next step to become vegan.
Dairy farming is as cruel as meat production. That's it really.

How about getting your own chickens cos then that would solve all problems and you can have nice cakes.

That sounds really good Isadora... really nice

I'm a bit phobic about animals... couldn't think of having pets .. if you see what I mean.
