For this one we just cut one spinach tortilla into this Dinosaur shapes & used that piece as a guide to cut out the other tortilla. We put shredded cheese, black beans, & brown rice inside & grilled it. I put a little bit of sour cream in a baggie to decorate & used 2 black beans for the pupil & mouth. We broke off the tips from guacamole chips for the spikes.

1 Peach
Raisins

Start out by washing your peach & then cutting it in half using a knife. Cut a little bit more from one half. This will be the head & you will use the cut off slice to make the ears, nose, & feet. Cut raisins in half to make the nostrils, mouth, eyes, & tail. Place raisins on the bottom of your plate to look like mud.

12 uncooked cocktail sausages

3/4cup plus 1 T. all-purpose flour

2 eggs

3/4 cup whole milk

sunflower oil, for greasing

 

Whisk the flour, eggs and milk together in a large bowl with an electric hand-held whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to a jug. Let rest at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and brush a 12-hole muffin pan with oil. Put the sausages on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until nearly cooked and very lightly golden. Put the greased pan in the oven for 10 minutes to get very hot, then remove it and immediately pour the batter mixture into the holes, until they are each half-filled with batter. Put a cocktail sausage in the middle of each hole filled with batter, put back in the oven and cook for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown.

Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter

Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter

Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter

 

2 cups / 225 g raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup / 60 ml sunflower oil, divided
1/2 tsp. fine grain sea salt, plus more as needed

2 T. vanilla bean paste (or seeds scraped from 2 plump vanilla beans)

3 tsp. ground cinnamon
zest of 1/2 a lemon, or to taste

 

Toast the sunflower seeds in a 325F / 165C oven, on a rimmed baking sheet, until fragrant and golden. You’ll want to stir them once or twice along the way to ensure even roasting. Let cool for ten minutes. Puree the seeds in a food processor along with 1 T. sunflower oil, and the sea salt (if using). As the motor runs drizzle in another 2 T. of sunflower oil. Scrape down the sides once or twice along the way, you’re aiming for an even, creamy consistency, and it may take some time. Once the mixture starts to look smooth, add the vanilla paste and cinnamon, and pulse to incorporate. At this point, evaluate the consistency, if your sunflower seed butter is on the thick side, drizzle in the remaining T. of oil while the processor is running. Taste, and add more salt if needed (and the lemon zest. if using), as well. Makes about 1 1/2 cup
