We finished off the school holidays with the best kind of Sunday. Sun, food, touch rugby, friends, picnic blankets, beers, children and laughs. Lots of laughs. I manage Ethan’s touch team and we had a practice and shared lunch scheduled for Sunday; the kids trained and then …
Dave whipped up these amaze muffins on gloomy, cold Sunday afternoon and let me warn you – this is not a recipe for your thighs but your mouth. These guys are SO good! INGREDIENTS: 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup brown …
