ANZAC apple crumble

DSC_5082

It’s almost instinctive. I can smell it in the air. As soon as the chill arrives, so too does the sweet, rosy fruit and its myriad of dessert combinations. It’s the meeting of the soft, sweet fruit, still with a little bite and the crunchy, golden topping that sucks me in. Serve it to me [...]

Apple and blueberry frangipane tart

Apple and blueberry frangipane tart

The buttery pastry crumbles like a sandcastle falling and begins to melt as soon as it hits your tongue. The light fluffy filling makes you close your eyes and roll them towards the heavens as you savour every mouthful. Just when you think it can’t get better your teeth burst a bubble of tart fruit. [...]

Pumpkin and apple muffins

Muffins fresh from the oven

It’s Secret Recipe Club time again! This month, I was assigned to Food Ramblings. You would think I was assigned to myself the way I ramble on about food but it turns out there are a lot of ramblers out there. Elizabeth likes cooking, travelling and eating just like me so it’s no wonder I [...]

Amy’s overnight apple cinnamon oats

Amy's overnight apple and cinnamon oats

I’m a little bit cranky this morning. Will’s been trying to convince me to put a no-junk-mail sticker on our letterbox for weeks but my response is always ‘how will I know about the good deals?’ He even tried to use the environmental argument with me – imagine how many trees go into making all [...]

Low-calorie apple and cinnamon bread

Low calorie apple loaf

I’m hesitant to say it in case I jinx us but the last week has been the most beautiful weather in Brisbane. Yes it’s a bit cool in the mornings and in the shade but the sky has been a crystal clear blue and a gently breeze has been blowing. It’s been so beautiful that [...]

Apple ‘pie’ the low-calorie way

DSC_4366

You know when you have a great idea and it seems so perfect in your head and then when you actually bring the idea to life it’s nothing like it was in your imagination? That’s what happened when I decided to make individual apple pies. I contemplated not sharing them but despite their rather rustic [...]

Apple crumble slice – launching Kellogg’s All-Bran Fibre Toppers

Apple crumble slice

This post is sponsored by Kellogg’s and Nuffnang. It doesn’t matter where I am in the world or what sort of hotel I’m staying at, I can almost guarantee that there will be bran and cornflakes on the breakfast buffet. It sounds very boring but one of my favourite holiday breakfasts is bran, with some [...]

Apple and parmesan crisps

Apple and parmesan crisps

I am very excited to be heading off to the Good Food and Wine show today. I have tickets to see Manu and George and Gary. I spent the day in bed with a stomach bug yesterday and still not feeling tops today so sadly there will be no food tasting for me . Our [...]

Sweet brown rice with apple for breakfast

DSC_2238

Last week I ran out of rolled oats. I know, not a big deal to most people but I love my apple and cinnamon oats for breakfast. Not wanting to go to the shops just for oats I went searching in the pantry and found a bag of brown rice. Brown rice and oats seemed [...]

Apple pandowdy

Apple pandowdy

A wonderful winter dessert recipe I just discovered is Nigella’s apple pandowdy (adapted from her recipe for pear pandowdy). Whenever I make a Nigella recipe (in this case it was fajitas which I’ll share soon) I like to follow it with a Nigella dessert. I just happened to buy a giant box of apples for [...]

Quinoa porridge – coeliac awareness week

Quinoa porridge

This week is coeliac awareness week. People with celiac disease can’t eat anything with gluten or wheat in it (are they the same thing?). It may sound simple to us non-coeliacs, no bread, pasta or cakes but if you really look, gluten is hidden in so many things. It’s in everyday sauces, icing mixture, baking [...]

Apple and cinnamon low calorie breakfast

Super simple ingredients

This is one of my favourite breakfasts. It’s simple, very inexpensive, delicious, low in calories and after a bit of research I’ve also discovered it has some serious health benefits. It doesn’t get much better than that! Yes, on their own oats can be rather bland but with a little flavour from my favourite spice, [...]
