Especially with the goats cheese looking like white chocolate. Definitely one to fool the senses.

I don't use a lot of goats cheese but I bought a decent sized batch recently - must look out for it becoming more creamy - I have bought goats cheese in the past that is far creamier. I love cauliflower cheese but I think I am more likely to make the cauli rice because it seems like less fuss (am probably wrong about that but white sauce always seems a bit fussy for me)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-46439848005176077462013-04-14T15:14:43.435+10:002013-04-14T15:14:43.435+10:00Thanks Brydie - must make more cauliflower rice fo...Thanks Brydie - must make more cauliflower rice for sylvia - and if that is a way I can get her to eat onion that will be progress!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-75481222459783354202013-04-14T15:14:02.831+10:002013-04-14T15:14:02.831+10:00Thanks Katie - I quite like dense savoury muffins ...Thanks Katie - I quite like dense savoury muffins and was surprised these were so light - made them seem more like sweet muffins. Maybe having a little goats cheese rather than lots of grated cheddar helped make a difference to texture. I've become a fan of chocolate in savoury foods because it is about flavour and not just sugar.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-11725831020422745282013-04-14T15:12:23.255+10:002013-04-14T15:12:23.255+10:00Thanks Kari - this is the first time zinc has got ...Thanks Kari - this is the first time zinc has got wounded - though we hear fights occasionally - makes me worry she is getting old. I don't remember this sort of thing ever happening when we had cats when I was young but maybe I was just oblivious<br /><br />Glad to chocolate muffins don't disappoint. Hope you have fun trying them - some nutritional yeast flakes instead of the goats cheese could help give that savoury taste if you want to keep them vegan. And I will be sure to let you know if E sees these in any of the shops around here :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-22836955751513780782013-04-14T15:09:46.186+10:002013-04-14T15:09:46.186+10:00Thanks Veganopoulous - surely you can never have e...Thanks Veganopoulous - surely you can never have enough jaunty hats :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-77511520417220872272013-04-14T15:08:52.801+10:002013-04-14T15:08:52.801+10:00Thanks Mel - Cauliflower rice is fun - not sure I ...Thanks Mel - Cauliflower rice is fun - not sure I always get it right but have had some more success recently that I will post soon.<br /><br />That sounds terrible that your cat disappeared - hope you found her and she got better - I was so relieved that zinc made it home because she had been bleeding but we heard the fight so it was close to home.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-33342825749703599962013-04-14T04:48:40.275+10:002013-04-14T04:48:40.275+10:00Your poor cat - how horrid.

The goat's cheese I was using was quite soft as I'd had it for a while. It starts off crumbly and then ends up like brie when left for a few weeks. Yours do look rather jaunty with the little white hats. Cauliflower rice sounds intriguing. I keep meaning to try out all these interesting ways of using cauliflower, but always end up making cauliflower cheese because I love it so much.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-7307982190653659652013-04-13T12:07:49.811+10:002013-04-13T12:07:49.811+10:00Hooray for kiddos eating cauliflower rice Johanna ...Hooray for kiddos eating cauliflower rice Johanna :-)cityhippyfarmgirlhttp://cityhippyfarmgirl.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-61432287322050162802013-04-13T00:49:40.815+10:002013-04-13T00:49:40.815+10:00They sound delicious and certinaly a fun twist on ...They sound delicious and certinaly a fun twist on muffins and dinner! I've never had much luck with savoury muffins, all mine tend to come out a bit too bready and bland. This looks lovely though. Will have to try cocoa for added flavour.

I am going to have to try them, although I doubt that Mr B will be as accepting as E in taste testing the unusual combination. (Which is fine, all the more for me!) I did laugh at E asking if you'd bought them though; what a concept!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-66731568130212822422013-04-12T14:05:39.380+10:002013-04-12T14:05:39.380+10:00I'm a big fan of jaunty hats!
