Muffins & Musicals!

Well its been a little while since I was here and I can only put that down to being busy :-)
I have been getting back into life by rehearsing for Soul Factor's next Broadway Concerts "You're the Top" which is on the 17th August, then I've had some gigs, work and even a little bit of filming so life is interesting at the moment!

But today I thought I would do something different and give you a recipe. Now you may wonder why but I do love to bake and for over a year now I have also been fructose free or sugar free for those playing at home. Now while I still do cook with sugar for those others in my life I do love to try and/or create sugar free recipes.  My initial contact with going sugar free was by reading the book "Sweet Poison" by David Gillespie and David likes to substitute sugar with dextrose which is pure glucose (with out the fructose that table sugar has).  It can be a little tricky to work with but I do like to work with it to. So the recipe I have put below is a recipe that I adapted to be sugar free and as I also added protein powder we can just say these are good for you :-)

Vanilla & Raspberry Sugar-free Muffins

Serves: 12
Preparation time: 15 minutes


Ingredients

2 1/2 cups Self Raising Flour
3/4 cup Dextrose
1 tsp Vanilla Essance
2 scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder
2/3 cup of Olive Oil (or coconut oil)
3/4 cup milk
1 egg (lightly beaten)
3/4 cup rasperries (or more to taste)

Method
  1. Pre-heat oven to 190 °C
  2. Sift flour and stir in dextrose and protein powder
  3. Add vanilla, oil, egg and milk
  4. Stir with wooden spoon until just smooth. Add a little extra milk if required.
  5. Add Raspberries and combine
  6. Spoon mixture into lined muffin tins.
  7. Bake at 190 °C for 25-30 mins until cooked through.


Hope you enjoy them! the dextrose makes them a little more cakey but they are delicious!

Well I am off, constantly singing music from Little Mermaid, Newsies, Princess & the Frog, Bye Bye Birdie and more. Yes these are a couple of the shows we will be singing songs from in the Soul Factor Concerts. If you can come along I am sure you would have a fabulous time.  The set is cabaret style so get some friends together, book a table and bring nibbles and drinks while you sing along!

Have a fabulous week!

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...

Merry Christmas and lots happening in the New Year!

It is almost Christmas and I hope that you are enjoying this wonderful festive season. Do you have traditions that you love to stick to when you celebrate? Do you get time to enjoy the family time, the catch ups etc or are you just always rushing around?  I have been very busy up until this weekend and I am enjoying the chance to slow down a bit, well at least for the new couple of days 😅 Next year is already quite packed and there is still some things to do this year, including finishing Qualification for Directorship with Mary Kay (only one person to go!) and then I am singing at the Cricket NYE but then things get really underway first week of the new year! Anyway I thought I'd let you know about what's going on next year, in case you need some last minute Christmas Gift ideas 😉 2018 is going to be a great year and I am so looking forward to sharing so many different things next year! So Starting off with  Oklahoma! on a Farm  January 5-7 with  Emma K...
