Soccer and food.......... again!

It does indeed seem that all I ever do is cook and take kids to soccer at the moment, or it may look that way as that is about all I manage to write about here. There is indeed more to my life at the moment, some days I clean or work too.

Anyway, the soccer results for this week (minus details as I was not there for any of them)
Kyla's team: won 1-0
Braden's team: won 6-1
Lauren's team: won 6-1

And the food challenge for the week?
Kyla had the privilege of choosing the ingredients for this week, and chose pumpkin, marshmallow and passionfruit.

Kyla decided to make baby pumpkins stuffed with tomato and bacon risotto.
She scooped the seeds out, and roasted the pumpkins, then filled them with the risotto, and topped them with parmesan cheese before popping them under the grill to brown. We had them with lamb and salad (the garden is still producing well). Score: 4/5 - the taste was great, but the texture of the pumpkin was not very good - the variety was the issue here, not the cooking.

Yesterday afternoon I made mallowpuffs for the first time. They were not particularly difficult, although I was amazed how sticky and messy you can get trying to get marshmallow mixture into a piping bag! The chocolate dipping also proved to be slightly messy.
The score: 4/5
Very tasty, and I think nicer than bought ones, especially as they have dark chocolate on them and the biscuit is nicer. The kids seem quite happy to eat them.
(and no, I didn't eat both of them from the picture!)
