These Chocolate Sugar Cookies are delightfully sweet and chocolatey! Plus they are perfectly soft in the middle – they almost melt in your mouth! This recipe for yummy Chocolate Sugar Cookies is adapted from the Christmas Sugar Cookie recipe that I shared a couple of years ago. Both of these sugar cookie recipes can be used to make decorative cookies for a special occasion. They are also great just for an everyday cookie recipe! They have a delicious sugar and chocolate flavour but they … [Read more...]
Easy Lemon Cheesecake Recipe
It tastes so indulgent but this Easy Lemon Cheesecake is quick to prepare and requires no baking. It’s irresistibly creamy, with a delicious lemon flavour. It is starting to feel more and more like spring is on its way each day now, the days have been so nice lately and were are expected to have a top of 20 °C later in the week! It looks like spring is here too with our almond trees covered in beautiful white blossom and the plum and apricot trees almost ready to burst. The milder weather has … [Read more...]
Walnut Raisin Loaf Recipe
I’m a real sucker for any recipe that contains walnuts and raisins. Throw in some apple and cinnamon and I’m in heaven! If you like these favours as much as I do you will love this Walnut Raisin Loaf recipe that I am sharing today. This recipe was actually spotted a few years ago when I was using raisins in another recipe. The packet of Sunbeam raisins that I was using included the walnut raisin loaf recipe and it sounded so good that I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed - it was … [Read more...]
Frosted Choc Orange Cupcakes
I love orange cakes and I love chocolate cakes, so when I had some spare oranges lying around I decided I just had to make some of these choc orange cupcakes. Actually the recipe that I adapted was for a single square choc orange cake but I turned it into cupcakes instead! Cupcakes seem a bit more special than just a slice of cake. I suppose it is because I used to enjoy lots of yummy cupcakes when I was a kid. More times than I can remember I used to come home from school and mum would have … [Read more...]
Easter Inspired Fruit Loaf
This Easter inspired fruit loaf recipe will have you enjoying the yummy sweet taste of homemade hot cross buns all year round! I actually find it strange that I am sharing a recipe for a fruit loaf, because frankly I haven’t been a fan of fruit buns or loaves for some time. I remember enjoying yummy, pink icing covered, fruit buns from the bakery when I was a kid but I haven’t had one like that for years. They just don’t seem to make them as good as they used to, I haven’t eaten a hot cross … [Read more...]
Munchies Recipe – Childhood Favourite!
There is something so right about a biscuit or cookie that includes rolled oats, coconut and golden syrup. I just can’t resist this favour combination. The recipe that I am sharing today is for cookie-like snacks called Munchies, which contain all three of these ingredients. They were a regular treat when I was a kid. My brother and I would get home from school and Mum would have a batch of Munchies freshly baked! We used to love watching our favourite cartoons while snacking on these home … [Read more...]
Easy Walnut Raisin Slice
Mix all the ingredients together, press into a tray, and then bake! This easy walnut raisin slice is so simple – it is my new favourite slice recipe! The weather has been so nice lately. We are now approaching the end of summer and things are starting to cool off a bit. We have had a run of days that have been around the mid-twenties and perfect for sitting outside soaking up the sun. I have even been enjoying having my breakfast outside on the veranda these last couple of weeks. It’s been … [Read more...]
Rocky Crunch Cakes Recipe
For such an easy recipe, these Rocky Crunch Cakes are so yummy that you can’t stop at one! They are crunchy on the outside but have a lovely softer centre. I can’t believe how hot it was last week. A week of temperatures where the daily maximum is near or over 40 degrees is just nasty! We spent most of last week hibernating indoors during the day and watering our poor plants at night. We also put out lots of containers of water for the birds, lizards, and any other little critters, so that they … [Read more...]
