I made food!

Recipe #22 is Pizza Muffins! I got them from the Women's Weekly small book of Snazzy Snacks, shown here:



They involve bacon, spring onion, roast capsicum from a jar, butter, mozzarella cheese and self-raising flour.









This is what the mixture looked like before it went into the oven:



And this is what they look like on a plate!



The recipe called for buttermilk, but I couldn't find any so I substituted skim milk. I might add some salt next time as well. They're wonderfully savoury, but I think they could stand to be a little more salty :-)

My taste testers (who came all the way from Bendigo!) were happy with them, and so am I!

I did another one.

Recipe #23 happened by chance tonight because I wanted dinner and didn't want leftovers, nor did I want to go out. I also wanted a greater variety leftovers I could use for school lunches. So, I looked into my little Italian recipe book and decided on a mushroom risotto. I also added a twist: Kangaroo fillet. I cut the fillet into little chunks and cooked it briefly before adding the mushrooms.

Here are some pics of the process:



Here are some of the key ingredients. It also involved dry white wine and vegetable stock.



The key ingredidnts, minus the rice and stock.



Finished product, still in the pot.



Yummy bowl of risotto! =D

It was extremely tasty. Things I'd modify next time:

- Add some porcini mushrooms
- Salt the red meat before adding it to the pot

But over all I'm happy with it. I'll hold this one in reserve in case I have a particularly busy week and don't have time to cook something.
