This Nutty Microwave Fudge is so simple to make. I used peanuts to get a yummy Snickers like flavour but you could use whatever nuts you prefer! Last year I made a Marbled Chocolate Mint Fudge and I have been dying to make a nutty fudge ever since! I originally imagined making a chocolate fudge with walnuts, but when I finally got around to making this nutty microwave fudge I didn’t have enough walnuts! I did however have a bag of salted peanuts so I used them instead and I am very happy with … [Read more...]

Creamy Pasta Salad Recipe
The weather is starting to cool off and autumn is slowly taking hold but I am going to fight the cooler weather by talking about summer type recipes today! For years I have enjoyed a yummy helping of the classic creamy pasta salad with my summer salads. Adding a spoonful or two of pasta salad just seems to liven up a plain leafy lettuce salad and gives it a bit more substance I think. So I decided that, even though summer was nearly over, I was going to try out a creamy pasta salad recipe for … [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.

Sour Cream and Chive Dip
The weather has been so nice recently that I have been craving some warmer weather snacks. I have really enjoyed having a couple of crackers with some sweet chilli dip at the end of the day (sometimes with a glass of wine!). It got me thinking about making my own dip. I had some sour cream in the fridge and chives in the garden so I figured that it wouldn’t be too hard to make my own sour cream and chive dip. Sour cream and chive would have to be a classic dip flavour. The best thing about … [Read more...]

That is where this Choc Mint Ice Cream Topping comes in handy. I am a big fan of the Ice Magic type ice cream toppings; you know the ones that are … [Read more...]
