Food Fun

Here is this weeks food fun in photos!  Avril whipped up a bunch of healthy muffins, riffing on a zucchini bread recipe.  The outside of the muffins are a bit crunchy with shards  of zucchini and carrots. On the  inside they are  moist and chewy. They freeze well and sneak a serving of veg into our daily diet.

I have successfully used chef Jonathan Waxman's roasted chicken recipe on many occasions. Here is a video promoting his new book "Italian My Way", that walks you through the process. I have adapted it to roasting split chicken breasts. Avril and I prefer the breast, which not only provides a meal but sandwich fixings  for weekday lunches.

I got my Sunday pastry thing on with a sesame yumster at the Creekside Bakery

I call these sesame yumsters  from Creekside Bakery, Novato

I decided to play around with some food still life photos and am very happy with the results. Maybe a photo for wall art?

Can you compare apples and oranges?
