Apples are everywhere at the moment. I spotted these beautiful “Golden Delicious” variety the other week and knew I wanted to play around with them as soon as I got them home. I was planning a dinner party and I wanted to present a low fat option for dessert. Something sweet enough that wasn’t too [...]
It’s been a few weeks! But I’m here today and ready to showcase a wonderful and simple dessert I prepared a little while back. With all the rain and grey skies present I thought I would cheer up my mood (and my friends) with something “pretty in pink”. Nothing wrong with admitting you like pink, [...]
This post is probably a few months too late…sort of. I actually had planned on blogging about this earlier, but I have been on a very busy schedule that I totally forgot about this recipe. This is a very quick and tasty salad made with watermelon that is at its sweetest. I actually saw a [...]
Sorry but this is another “summer fruit” post! I’ve had this in my backlog of recipes and I really wanted to share it with you. I promise there will be some savoury stuff soon. What I like about this recipe is how easy and quick it is. Because I’ve been going mad buying all sorts [...]
When I woke up this morning I was in the mood for pancakes. Drizzled with a load of maple syrup and lashings of creamed butter. Then I remembered I was trying to be “good”. I played around with the concept and decided to make pikelets. Pikelets are plumper than pancakes, made using a thick batter. [...]
I hope everyone saw the new year in well. Mine was a little quiet spent celebrating with friends, eating and drinking a few bottles of champagne. Sydney put on it’s usual fireworks display spending up to $5 million for the spectacle. Anyway, I’ve been visiting a few of my regular blogs and been reading a [...]
Best Friend: Don’t forget the kid’s Xmas party on Sat…remember you said you were going to make something “festive”
Me: Sure..not a problem (hmm…what on earth is she on about?)
Best friend: and don’t overdo the sugar!
Me: Yeah..ok (so I suppose red cordial is out of the question!)
So I find myself committed to helping out at a [...]
I’ve been a little absent from blogging lately. I’ve been trying to sort out some issues in regards to my travel arrangements. Let’s just say it’s a good idea to have more than 6 months validity left on your passport when you travel!!! Anyway, I won’t bore you with that. I want to talk about [...]
Aaaah! I gave in! After eating enough tangelos to last me a life time, I still had many leftover. There they were, on the counter, staring at me in their big brown bowl. I tend not to bake very much as I usually prefer savoury dishes over sweet ones. I didn’t want to complicate things [...]
I take my citrus seriously. Seriously! My latest farmers market haul included the usual winter goodies of oranges, lemons and tangelos. It had been ages since I had eaten tangelos and I really wanted to share my experience with them with you. They’re a cross between an orange and a grapefruit, full of juicy goodness. [...]
