They look like black onion seeds to me (but I think they are the same as Nigella seeds aren't they? And these have already been ruled out)

I made these yesterday, for morning tea for the guys that are here building our new bathroom and laundry. The pastry is easy to work with. I was able to roll mine into a rectangle 45cm X 50cm - but then I found I didn't have enough filling to use all the pastry. I'd be roll a smaller rectangle next time. The pastry and filling are both delicious. The builders enjoyed them, as did I

Hi Maddy! Nice to see you posting.
Wow, the recipes are pretty much the same, so you can't help but wonder as you have.
We love your recipe at our house Maddy, it appears in our list of favourites and we make it often.
I love Skinnymixers, but if the recipe "that started it all" was actually your recipe, then that's disappointing.

Good morning everyone. I've been absent for awhile as I've been sick and busy. I've had a terrible throat infection that just won't go away - had to go back to the doctors yesterday for stronger antibiotics. Also we are having our bathroom and laundry completely ripped out and renovated, so that has been keeping us busy shopping for new items. Work starts on Tuesday.
Your garden looks lovely Chookie. I hope a buyer is just around the corner for you.
Denise I hope your DH's back is better soon. The month or so will go quickly and you'll be in your new house before you know it. I hope the wedding goes well - I'm sure it will be lovely. Enjoy the special day.

Richard and I would love to come and the date in August should suit.
Not sure when we can commit though, as we have a lot going on at the moment. Will definitely try and be there.

I made this today and as I expected it would be, it was delicious.
As we were heading out today, I made it this morning and put it in the fridge. I put the chorizo capsicum mixture into a separate bowl. Then tonight I put the chorizo mix on the top and baked it. I used a red capsicum instead of a green one, as that's what I had. I did the half sweet potato and half white potato mix.
An easy tasty meal. Thank you for the recipe.

Last night we had some friends over for an Indian curry night, so I served this for dessert.
My DH has a nut allergy, so even though I've looked at this recipe several times before I've never made it. I had thought about making DH's serve first and then adding the nuts to the rest, or just leaving the nuts out completely, but in the end I decided to substitute sunflower seeds for the almonds. I blitzed the seeds first and then continued with the recipe. I also doubled the amount of mango (only because last time I made DH mango ice cream he requested I add more mango, so I thought I'd better add more mango to this!).
Everyone loved it and licked their plates clean. DH is pleased there are still some leftovers in the freezer.

That looks delicious! I'm definitely making it next week (can't this week as I've planned my menu and done the shopping).
Your blog and FB page look great,

Julie I'm sorry to hear your sad news. It's always so hard to say goodbye to our beloved fur babies. Take care xx

Wonderful job on the cupcakes Jen, they look terrific.
Enjoy your holiday Chookie & Ral.
Well it's been a week and all we've spent of the $21 budget we gave ourselves is $8.38 on milk. I will need to go to the shops tomorrow to buy milk and vegies, but that's all I plan on buying. I've made a menu plan for the week, using things from the freezer, fridge and pantry. The freezer clean out is working, as after this week I could see a couple of gaps in the main freezer (but I baked 2 loafs of bread today, sliced them and froze them - so the gaps are now full!).

Despite completely ignoring Judy's method - I made this today and both Richard and I think it tastes lovely and we enjoyed it with our gnocchi in tomato sauce tonight.
I decided late last night to make it, so I couldn't wait 4 hours to place it in the fridge. Instead I put the dough into a larger tray than suggested in the recipe and then put the tray inside a big plastic bag (I sort of made a tent out of the bag so plastic didn't touch the dough) then I left it on the bench all night.
This morning whilst it had risen, it wasn't huge so I was happy with it. I had to go out first thing today (doctors appointment - he was running late of course) so by the time I got home it had risen a lot more. Whilst I was using my fingertips to dock the top, it knocked a lot of the air out if it so the end result is slightly dense and firm on the outside. I'm happy with how it tastes, but next time I'll make it properly!

I love gnocchi, I often order it if I go to an Italian restaurant so I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to make this.
Made it today - it was easy to make and it tastes wonderful. I made a vegie packed tomato sauce in my TMX to go with it. We both really enjoyed our meat-free dinner. Will definitely make again.

I had a huge bunch of coriander in the fridge that I'd bought to make a recipe I never got around to, so I decided to make this (instead of having it go to waste). I used a lime and half a lemon in place of the full lemon (as that's what I had to use up).
It smells really fragrant. I'm sure it will be very useful to have in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe Trudy.

Enjoy your well deserved holiday Marina, sounds like you have certainly earned a rest!
I hope you're feeling better today CC.
I also hope a buyer is just around the corner for you Chookie.
I think the challenge will be good for me and I'm quite excited about it. It will be easy to start with - I have a freezer full of meat, 2 dozen eggs, various vegies and a overflowing pantry. As the stocks go down and we run out of vegies, then it will become harder. Also I'm back to work on Wednesday, so less time will make it more difficult.
I went to Costco today, as I wanted to buy a new Fitbit and I knew they had what I wanted on special. My old Fitbit died last year, so I thought I'd get a replacement. Quickest Costco trip ever! Bought the Fitbit and 2 x 2L of organic milk (milk cost $8.38 so I'm well into my $21 budget). Had my blinkers on and didn't look at anything else so I wasn't tempted!
