Delicious Mock Champagne Recipe

Last updated on: June 3, 2020 By Kaylene Filed Under: Drinks, Holidays & Special Occasions, Recipes Leave a Comment

I love a glass or two of bubbly of the alcoholic variety but sometimes you need a special occasion drink that is non-alcoholic. It’s my birthday this weekend and I will be catching up with family which includes my niece and nephew. Since they are not old enough for alcohol but are starting to get interested in adult drinks I thought that it would be the perfect time to break out my favourite mock Champagne recipe. I love this drink because when I was growing up it was a wonderful treat that … [Read more...]

Easter Inspired Fruit Loaf

Last updated on: February 21, 2020 By Kaylene Filed Under: Breads, Breakfast & Brunch, Easter, Holidays, Holidays & Special Occasions, Recipes Leave a Comment

This fruit loaf is wonderful fresh or you can enjoy it toasted for breakfast! thelinkssite.com

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...]

Last updated on: July 7, 2019 By Kaylene Filed Under: Appetizers, Holidays & Special Occasions, Recipes 29 Comments

This recipe for sausage rolls can be adapted to include your favourite herbs and is quick to make. Party food that everyone will enjoy could not be easier! Christmas is great because it’s when we all make the time to get together with family and friends. We catch up on what everyone has been up to, find out what they all have planned for next year and generally have a good time. Christmas parties/breakups also tend to involve lots of yummy party food. And we can get away with eating more of … [Read more...]

Easy Christmas Sugar Cookies

Last updated on: November 4, 2019 By Kaylene Filed Under: Cookies & Biscuits, Holidays & Special Occasions, Recipes 4 Comments

Star shaped cookies coloured white, red, and green on a silicone baking mat.

These sugar cookies are great for when you need a Christmas cookie recipe that is quick and easy. They hold their shape perfectly and are delicious to boot! I have a confession to make – I have never made a sugar cookie before now! To be perfectly honest I hadn’t really even heard of them until recently. I’m sure that I have seen them before but because they look so much like shortbread biscuits I have ignored them. Big mistake! You see until recently I have never really enjoyed Christmas … [Read more...]

My Favourite Easy Mix Christmas Cake

Last updated on: December 1, 2021 By Kaylene Filed Under: Cakes & Cupcakes, Christmas, Holidays & Special Occasions, Recipes 21 Comments

Christmas cake on a wooden cutting board. There is a Christmas serviette partially under the cake and one side of the cake has been sliced.

This Christmas cake is very easy and, if you choose a large enough bowl to soak your fruit in at the start, then you can mix it all up in the same bowl! This post does not have a link but I just had to share the recipe that I use to make my Christmas cake. I found this recipe a couple of years ago in a local paper and I have just made it again for Christmas this year. It is so very easy and is actually a one bowl recipe if you choose a large enough mixing bowl for your first … [Read more...]
