I have wanted to share this recipe for cookie bars for a while now but just haven’t got around to it. I made them a while ago without the Easter eggs and thought that they were wonderful. It’s just basically my easy chocolate chip cookie recipe turned into cookie bars! I was inspired to make the Easter version when I saw this Easter Egg Slice by Sammie at The Annoyed Thyroid. I loved the idea of M&M speckled eggs pushed into the top so I borrowed that idea for these cookie bars. These … [Read more...]
Fruit Slice with Raspberry Jam
This recipe is almost legendary in our house. Everyone starts licking their lips when someone says ‘you should make that fruit slice with raspberry jam’! Mum used to make this when I was a kid and it has been a real favourite over the years. In fact the recipe is marked Woman’s Weekly 1978 - this recipe is almost as old as I am! We hadn’t made it for a while so I thought it was time for this family favourite to make an appearance. I am so glad that I did because it is just as good as I … [Read more...]
Amazingly Easy Nutella Brownies
Okay today I am sharing one of the easiest recipes I have ever made. I can’t believe that there is such an easy way to make brownies!

I have to say … [Read more...]

This lemon coconut slice is heaven for any sweet tooth. It’s soft and sweet with a delicious lemon tang; no one will ever know that it is low calorie! I have said it before but I will say it again – I love sweet lemon recipes! I don’t know what it is about sweet snacks and desserts with lemon in them but I just can’t resist them. I have a bit of a sweet tooth anyway, but when you add in lemon I just can’t say no! Usually the thing that keeps me in check is the idea that these sweet lemony … [Read more...]
No Bake Lemon Coconut Squares
These lemon coconut squares are so soft and chewy they are fudge-like. They’re sweet with a delicious lemon tang and so easy to make - no baking required! One dessert flavour that I often get a craving for is lemon. I don’t know what it is about it but more often than not when I have a craving for something sweet it will be for lemon meringue pie or lemon slice or (OMG don’t say it) lemon cheesecake! I even have a Pinterest board devoted to lemon treats! I have to stay away from many of these … [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...]
