Its baking (taper) time again!

Beetroot Gnocci

I have been meaning to post these for a while, I am enjoying making my own gnocchi, and this is a variation on the sweet potato one that I have tried. This contains, buckwheat flour, sweet potato, and beetroot, I used some swiss chard out of the garden as a green, but you can use beet tops in the same way if you like. I just love the colours of rainbow chard!

Sourdough fun

I’m starting to taper for Ironman Wales, this usually involves me baking, as I have a lot of free time to fill! I had a sourdough fest this week ,and made sourdough crumpets, and bread. The crumpets are delicious, luckily I have a freezer, so I have a supply to keep me going. My only problem is what to bake next!
