It was certainly a busy one filled with delicious foods. Butterfly cakes are new to me but look perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. I use nutritional yeast flakes instead of panko for coating things, they add an extra pop of flavor and protein to roasted butternut squash or tofu. I will take a look at your recipe for the cheesy broccoli fritters, they made my mouth water.

He remembers that they grew it in their back yard in Toowoomba. Sorghum is certainly a valuable crop given the drought conditions around the world.

I found this: “Millet is a cereal grain with highly variable small-seeded grasses… They are major crops in the semiarid tropics of Africa and Asia,” and “Sorghum is an Old World cereal grain … native to warm regions of the world and is a major source of grains and stockfeed. Like millet, sorghum is also drought resistant.” Sorghum is a source of sweeteners.<br /><br />best… mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386723495133646027.post-78224889540278323452023-03-03T00:35:26.564+10:002023-03-03T00:35:26.564+10:00Happy Birthday!

I have quince syrup in my pantry so i use that instead of pom. molasses. I love a chicken traybake too. I made one last night in fact with chickpeas and capsicum and potatoes and olives ... Oh yes happy birthday! Those fairy cakes are so cute... brings back the memories. I think we called them butterfly cakes too. I adapted Nagi's fritters and they were good. Yes I too have heaps of yeast flakes left, and try to chuck 'em in everything:) Have a great March.<br />sherry Sherry's Pickingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115648682007275136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386723495133646027.post-41299732197457270262023-03-02T15:54:06.374+10:002023-03-02T15:54:06.374+10:00Bet you had a great celebration with your friends ...Bet you had a great celebration with your friends and family.
