We’re still in the Spring egg glut situation, so for a little while yet, expect Tuesday Night Vego Challenge recipes to feature eggs. And though we don’t have cows or goats, people who do will know that milk is also a Spring glut produce.
Super simple, and very yummy on sourdough with tomato and black pepper.
Our blueberry bushes are bearing and the farm up the road is selling bags of blueberry seconds so this is the second in the Muesli Bar Challenge series featuring blueberries.
I am on a bit of a roll with the mandarin, ricotta and honey flavours. Plus mandarins are getting towards the end of their season so I’m eager to make the most of them. This one is, like last week’s cake, super easy. The flavours are similar -this one is a bit stronger flavoured – but the texture is quite different, more like a cheesecake.
Wow. I’m over half way through the school year, and I haven’t lost a Muesli Bar Challenge yet. Even I’m surprised. I expected at some stage to push the low-fat, low-sugar bar just a bit too low!
Blondies are like brownies, almost like semi-set cake mix. But for a lunch box they need a bit of robustness. So these are cakey, brownie texture, but stay intact till little lunch.
The dessert version of these is easy, but the healthy lunchbox version is a little trickier. It is still easy enough, though, to be within the bounds of the Muesli Bar Challenge rule: easy enough for busy parents and even kids themselves to be bothered actually making, routinely, for daily school or work lunchboxes.
Pumpkin soup is so simple, and everyone has their own version, that I hesitated to post this. But pumpkins are so very much in season here that I thought it worth a reminder.
I can’t say this is fast and easy. It’s a long slow Sunday afternoon recipe, and it creates quite a bit of washing up! But there’s a good return on investment – for an hour or so of Sunday afternoon baking, you can have several very healthy dinners and lunches made ready for the week.
