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!

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The café we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

Turkish and Other Delights! Part Two...

And so the story of the trip continues here Part One can be found here ! So we arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday 21st April 2015 and as I said in the previous post we were struck by how many people there were and how crazy the driving was but luckily we were picked up by our tour company, Travelshop Turkey. We did make it to our hotel, The Green Park Hotel, safely and this hotel seemed quite nice. We did find it weird we didnt know anything about our start time in the morning or anything else from our tour but the guy at the desk did say that they were rather unorganised and not to worry, he'd let us know. Dancers on the boat Our first experience began that night began with a Bosphorus River and Dinner Cruise (to be honest we didn't quite know what to expect), people had said that it was great to cruise on the Bosphorus and see Istanbul from the water. Well we got picked up along with some others we didn't know and headed to our boat. Well this night was an experience!...
