For the love of food
Thank you for all the lovely Birthday wishes. I had a fantastic weekend and I’ll tell you all about it when I post my Birthday cake later in the week. A year or so ago, I posted a recipe for hot dog buns. Now it’s a very delicate subject in our house. We regularly have […]
Something strange has happened this year. Something really strange. Tomorrow is a very special day on my calendar and for the first time in my whole life I keep forgetting about it. Tomorrow is my Birthday. Usually I count down the days from at least two weeks out and anyone who sees me in that […]
In anticipation of Bubba C’s arrival, I opted out of last month’s Secret Recipe Club and it’s a good thing I did because I think we were in hospital about the time my post should have gone live. I wasn’t going to miss out again though and thought joining in this month would be a […]
I wish I could say that I whipped this up this week but that would be a big fat fib. Don’t think I’ve been neglecting Kevin the sourdough starter while I’ve been looking after Bubba C though. I am happy to report that Kevin is alive and well being the resilient guy that he is. […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my baby brain order of about 30 bananas last week. I get a fortnightly fruit and vege delivery and you can change the items to make up 15. Obviously there were quite a few things I didn’t want/need so I just kept […]
I had a dilemma. It was a really big dilemma. The recipe I wanted to make looked mouthwatering but it called for one cup of peanut butter. I only had one cup of the best peanut butter ever left in the jar. What did I want more – biscuits or peanut butter? What if the […]
Pretty much ever time that she visits, the first thing my niece says after ‘hello’ is ‘do you have any biscuits?’ Apparently this is something she says when she visits most houses but after being treated to a couple of chocolate freckle biscuits here one day, I think she now expects me to have something […]
I know I know, another ‘best ever’ post but really, these are the best ever gingerbread cookies that I’ve come across. I’ve been making the recipe for years and it has never failed me. I also find it irresistible and so usually only make it for gifts. On this particular occasion, I made some yellow […]
I know, I know, calling a post ‘the best ever carrot cupcakes’ is a big call. I said it for The Best Ever Chocolate Mud Cake and so far everyone who has tried it has agreed so you’ll just have to make these and tell me what you think. For my beautiful grey and yellow […]
I have had the biggest Christmas craving ever since the tree went up. It’s not preggas related, it’s definitely Christmas and that craving is ginger as in gingerbread. I just can’t get enough of the the suff. I have already made 4 batches of gingerbread cookies would you believe and not all of them were […]
It seems rather fitting that as I write this post, my last Nutella scroll is defrosting on the bench for my morning tea – fitting because it was the recipe I made up for last month’s Secret Recipe Club. My final assignment of the year was Crumb Blog – written by Isabelle – a bargain […]
I did it, I finally did it. Just a few weeks ago, I, after talking about wanting one for well over a year, bought a bundt tin. Can you be in love with a tin? I’ve only baked two cakes in it so far but the shape they they emerge from the tin is just […]
