Spiced apple streusel muffins

After making the spiced apple galette, I had three Granny Smith apples leftover. Not wanting to make another galette so soon, I used the leftover apples to make applesauce.

The applesauce had been sitting in the fridge for a few days. I was worried that it would turn, so I flipped through the Wheat Belly 30-Minute Cookbook to see what I could do with it. I came across a recipe for apple streusel muffins. After checking I had everything (yay!) in the pantry, I got to working.

All-purpose baking mix (wheat free, grain free )

A useful baking mix recipe from Dr William Davis's 'Wheat Belly 30-Minute (Or Less!) Cookbook'. This mix is meant for creating a variety of different bread and baked goods: loaf breads, flatbreads, rolls, scones, muffins, and cookies. Keeping a supply of this mix on hand will help save time.

Fluffy brownies (2)

The first batch of fluffy brownies turned out well. As per usual, I tweaked the recipe slightly just to see what it would be like.

Fluffy brownies (1)

I had some ripened avocados in the fridge and decided to use them before they turned. The last few batches of brownies I made were more fudgy and dense. This time, I thought I'd try a lighter, fluffier variety.

Orange turkey 陳皮火雞

Inspired by a conversation with a couple of friends about cooking turkey, I made orange turkey, a twist from orange chicken, for dinner tonight. It was so good that the Husband asked for seconds!

Broccoli, potato & cheddar soup

It has got a bit chillier here and after spending the weekend out and about in the wind and rain getting looking at properties and kitchen and bathroom showrooms, I felt the need for some hearty soup to nourish my body and soul.

Spiced apple galette

It had been a while since I made a cake or pie, so when I got some sweet, tangy, juicy Granny Smith and Jazz apples, I immediately got to making a spiced apple galette
