The oven is doing double time round here. Cooking dinners and baking tasty treats. My latest creation is gluten and dairy free savoury scones based on this recipe. I switched out the wheat flour for oat and used soda water instead of the lemonade to turn it from savoury to... Read more →

I have a confession to make. I have started eating sugar again. I just couldn't help it. We've been streaming baking shows recently. Is It Cake? is a firm family favourite and we are eagerly awaiting season two's arrival at the end of the month. Seeing all that fondant, modelling... Read more →

It’s baking season and time to fire up the oven! I’ve been baking these muffins for a few years now but when I went to find the recipe this morning, I realised I hadn’t posted it here. I haven’t baked these since last winter and I couldn't remember the quantities.... Read more →

Still sugar free and still loving it. Especially when I can manage to concoct something as scrumptious as these double choc bliss bombs. Mmmmm. Think rich and velvety with crunchy nuggets of cacao nibs and bursts of dried cranberries. Rum balls without the rum (or sugar). Vegan, dairy and gluten... Read more →

My go-to baking treat of recent times has been this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. Only problem is, it contains sugar and the girls and l have gone sugar free. The good news is once you haven't eaten sugar for a while, you start to appreciate the sweetness in... Read more →

Did someone say homemade pizza for dinner? Oh go on then, I'll have a slice. I don't usually indulge in grains, bread or pizza but what the heck, it's the silly season and time to let my hair down a little. I made this pizza using an organic rye base... Read more →

This year we're not going to Canberra to spend Christmas with my parents and my youngest daughter is very sad about not seeing her Nana and Seeya. She's been missing them dreadfully. She's determined... Read more →

I was reading a Ruby Redfort book by Lauren Child which I borrowed from my daughter. I'm not sure which one it was. Either Pick Your Poison or Blink and You're Dead. In it Ruby was eating peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. She's always drinking banana milk (which incidentally was... Read more →

I've been back in the kitchen getting creative and it feels so good. The weather is nippy so it's the perfect time to crank up the oven and get back to baking. Shelter in place has given me time to play with ingredients and potter about with pots and pans.... Read more →

Every year my daughters make Christmas presents to give to friends and family members. This year we were a bit stuck with what to make. After all, there's only so many tea towels, aprons and bags someone can use. Ditto with bookmarks and art work. We were stumped until Miss... Read more →
