Strawberry, Roasted Hazelnut, Dark and White Chocolate Chip Cookies These Strawberry, Roasted Hazelnut, Dark & White Chocolate Chip Cookies have delicious dried strawberries for that fruity punch and moistness, nuts for a textured crunch and of course delicate creamy white chocolate in addition to the dark chocolate chips. Crunchy, chewy and indulgent. They're chocolate chip cookies with a difference! I'm a lover of all cookie but these are my new favourite by far! There's just something missing from a regular chocolate chip cookie. Don't get me wrong, the dark chocolate definitely … [Read more...]

Rhubarb Crumble Delicious sharp fruit sweetened with vanilla sugar and topped with a sweet amaretti biscuit crumble topping, this rhubarb crumble is comfort food at its best! Isn't it weird how your taste in food changes as you grow older? As a child I had a love/hate relationship with rhubarb crumble. I remember adoring this delicious pudding as child but later despising it as a teenager. But peace was again restored as an adult. I can safely say that I love rhubarb crumble again. There's just something so nostalgic about rhubarb crumble. It brings me back to those quiet Sunday afternoons … [Read more...]

But if you can't have chocolate on Easter, when can you? :) Fortunately, although I felt nauseous, I wasn't actually sick and it wore off in an hour or so. Then I went back for more … [Read more...]

Cotton Candy (Candy Floss) Cupcakes These cotton candy (candy floss in the UK) are all the fun of the fair, but without the puke-inducing rides! I'm a thrill seeker so I love the scary 'flip-you-up-and-throw-you-everywhere' type of rides! :D Just a pity my damn arthritic bones won't allow me to be thrown in each and every direction possible anymore so to fellow thrill-sellers… puke on! But for those of you that love the fun fair, here's some cupcakes for you that bring all that special charm and childhood memories without the puke-inducing rides.

Sugar Cookie Bars What does one do when they fancy cookies but fancy something a little more indulgent than actual cookies? Then bake a big slab of cookie bars and completely smother it with girly pink, creamy and delicious buttercream frosting, of course! What else would I do when the end result was super thick fluffy sugar cookie bars topped with deliciously creamy frosting? :) Sugar cookies are delicious. But sometimes you just want that sugar cookie taste without all the faff of chilling, rolling, cutting out shapes, baking and repeating. These sugar cookie bars are so quick you'll … [Read more...]

Red Velvet Cookies and Cream Magic Bars It's got to the stage in my relationship where I don't even notice other men anymore. That means I've also lost that 'single sense' when you realise other men are noticing me. Maybe I should be pronounced legally dead?! Picture me doing a mahoosive food shop, I somehow manage to pick out the worlds wonkiest shopping trolley and to top it off I'm wearing a knitted hat and a duck down filled jacket because It was cold outside but suddenly pushing what equates to 11 elephants, I'm not so cold anymore! My face must've been beet red from sweating and … [Read more...]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge Don't you just love it when you find a no-fail recipe for fudge? Not just any kind of fudge but chocolate chip cookie dough fudge? What's not to love? No sugar thermometers; no wondering whether your sugar thermometer is inaccurate because the probe touches the bottom of the pan which is obviously hotter, so you stand there holding the darn thing 'just' above. Or is that just me? ;) And then there's the times that you just can't be bothered to bust out the sugar thermometer. I mean, why bother when you discover no-fail recipes that don't call for … [Read more...]
