Yesterday I did some baking!!!  Olive and Tomato Loaf (in bread machine)310 ml tepid water2 tbs soya milk (unsweetened) 2 tbs veg oil600g self raising flour1tsp yeast (quick dried)1tsp salt7 black olives, chopped3 sundried tomatoes choppedFew leaves of basil, chopped I followed the instructions on the bread machine and left it to cook. It still tastes a bit yeasty to be honest, but the olives and tomatoes help to cover that up. It’s sugar free and that’s the point! I also made some sugar free carrot cake muffins – which have turned out better than the loaf to be honest, maybe that’s just because I’m now at the point where I’m craving sweet things. (the sugar free jelly is still gong down very well – I’m not sure I’ll ever get sick of it!) Ingredients  225g (8 oz) self raising flour 1tsp baking powder 1 level tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg 70g canderel powdered sweetener75g (3 oz) grated carrot 75ml (3 fl oz) vegetable oil 200 ml (7 fl oz) soya milk (unsweetened) Instructions  1) Put flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweetener and grated carrot into a mixing bowl. 3) Add the oil and soya milk and stir until combined. 4) Pour into lined/greased cake tin or muffin tray. (makes about 8 muffins)5) Cook at 200ºC/400ºF for about 20 mins. I will mention though, that in future I need to double or even triple up on the muffin cases as the mixture kind of spread out, so they are more flat than muffin shaped. And I reckon turning the temperature down to 150 or 180 will make them a bit more moist…although I do like the almost crunch outer crust – it’s got the most flavour!! So I had 2 carrot cake muffins last night (hot from the oven!!) Today’s food has consisted of: Breakfast – scrambled egg (in the microwave, no butter or margarine or milk added…just egg) on a slice of olive and tomato loaf which I made last night and toasted this morning. I brought the cold toast into work and for the last 10 seconds of the egg cooking I heated the toast up in the microwave too. Gourmet cooking at it’s best!Snack – Carrot cake muffinLunch – left over pork chop from dinner yesterday.Snack – salt and vinegar walkers and ANOTHER carrot cake muffin!!Dinner – no idea yet! OH is at home, and if he hasn’t gone to the pub already before I get home (as much as he thinks he likes to sit at home and relax, he’s usually bored by about 3pm and ends up in the pub!) then he’ll be making dinner!!! Actually, he usually does – but I've normally taken something out of the freezer that morning to give him a little…er….direction!!! Have found some sugar and dairy free chocolate on ebay…think it’s made by cavalier, so will be purchasing that today. it’s ok, I've had it before. To be fair if you can get flavoured chocolate i.e. orange sugar / dairy free chocolate then all the better. But be warned, excessive consumption may lead to a laxative effect!! L
