OK – I’m probably not your average shopper. I admit I know my prices of my basics in my
head, use the web to get me the best prices but I also adjust my plans for what
I can find reduced. I’m lucky in that I
find a lot of variety reduced and thus get a varied diet.
Take the blueberries, I got them reduced but I also had some
milk that was on its last leg. So what
to do? Make muffins of course! If I don’t have buttermilk and often I don’t
– I just sour it with lemon juice instead but the milk provided me with the
perfect reason to use it up. I also had
some corn meal that needed to be used up so that got thrown in – voila –
muffins!
It’s not a complicated recipe as I have a basic muffin
recipe and I just alter what I put in depending on what I’ve got loads of or
found reduced. I also am lucky that I
get some fresh rhubarb from a friend so I just add an apple or pear or any
other soft fruit I have that need using up into the mix and make a
crumble.
And here is a teasing look at the chocolate that will be
going towards someone’s cake in early August!
