Lots of years ago my aunt Sandra gave me a recipe for carrot raisin muffins. I wrote it in my recipe folder that Ingrid gave me and made them often. Less often now, however, because I have muffin-top issues of a different kind that I'm working on. But today at the end of our woods walk Michael started muttering about muffins, so when we got home I started grating carrots, which is the most tedious part of the process, and voila: lunch! As you can see, I once helpfully calculated that each muffin has 185 calories.
This folder contains all sorts of goodies from my youth. Gran's sultana cake, Ingrid's Chocolate Fudge Pudding, Gay Dunkley's Plum Sauce, and a kind of liver meat loaf that Bill used to make called "Faggots." Oh, I just found the baked kumera with peanuts page. Why doesn't New Zealand start marketing the kumera the way they did the kiwifruit? Cause you just can't get them here and I miss them dreadfully. Don't tell me to make do with sweet potatoes or what Americans call "yams", because they just aren't the same.
