Chocolate Custard Muffins
September 23rd, 2008After a dismal summer, our garden tomatoes are finally beginning to ripen. The cherry tomatoes are really sweet and just about perfect for this recipe. I’ve mentioned my love for party food before, and - as if I really needed an excuse - couldn’t wait to make some bruschetta with the tomatoes.
Susan, from Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy, is having a ‘blogiversary bash’. Her food blog is turning one and I am going to the party. I can’t wait to sample all the different dishes that have been cooked by food bloggers from around the world. Hope you are going to join in too!

I like to think that I am quite good when it comes to buying the right amount of food to meet our needs. Even so, I am guilty of throwing some food away, I would by lying if I told you I used everything up.
When buying fresh produce, the thing that really makes me want to scream, is BOGOF (buy one, get one free.) I don’t want 2 massive cauliflowers, or 2 packs of 10 oranges. Sell it to me at half price please! And what’s my mum going to do with 2 pineapples? She lives on her own and only has a tiny freezer.

Easy? NO!!! Having a passion for baking, and cakes being quite high on the baking list, it was going to be hard to decide. In the end, the decision was made by the boys, they wanted coffee cupcakes.
