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!

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home.

Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

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...
