[Guest guest]

These are some recipes I found while doing a search.. For anyone who

is brave enough to take the plunge and try one.. I had never tried

making a veggie muffin, but I believe this could be a starting point..

I think I might try these myself...they do sound good don't they..but

we need to figure out the points, since nothing is listed..

This recipie came from the trim kitchen cookbook it is very filling

and they are great cold or reheated for 20 seconds in the microwave.

Veggie Muffins

2 cups self raising flour

4 tablespoons grated vegies ( 1 zuccihi,1carrot,1 potatoe,1capsicum)

125g tin corn kernels 1 cup skim milk

2 eggs beaten

shake of parsley or dried herb

1 teaspoon seeded mustard

Place all dry goods into a bowl,make a well, add eggs and mustard

and veggies ,mix lightly gradually add milk,this is supposed to be

lumpy so dont overwork dough.

divide mix into six large muffin tray,or six muffin cases bake at 180

for 25 mins.
