When I think about treats for Valentine’s Day, generally, I aim to have a sweet for the girls and something savoury for G. I thought this year would be no different. As you might have guessed from the photo, sweet wins. I’m a victim of my chocolate love. Now, while we all know that white chocolate isn’t exactly chocolate (there are no cocoa solids in white chocolate), there is still room for its cocoa buttery creaminess. White Chocolate-dipped strawberries? White chocolate lattes? White […]

So much to do, so little time. The girls and I took a lot of time off over the summer. Our aim was to squeeze as much fun into summer together as possible. At some point near the end of the school year, I suddenly became very conscious of the changes come September. Our littlest one was flying the coop, so to speak, and that triggered something in me: a need to appreciate the growth, maturity, new perceptions and reactions of the girls. […]

Chocolate. Cinnamon. Banana. Delicious. The girls have been really into muffins again lately. Whether picking a treat from the bakery, at an event that has desserts or just because, muffins are in high demand here. Both girls also adore banana bread. In our house, if chocolate, cinnamon and banana are included, inevitably, a popular recipe is born. Do you have similar ingredients in your kitchen? A much beloved treat, some muffins are considered a breakfast food. These are a little sweeter and lean more to the dessert […]

Celebratory. Impressive. Delicious. And easy. The first time we had this was for a family dinner. We needed a dessert, and I made this on a whim not knowing when I started that it would be the end product. When it came out of the oven, even G was impressed. (He’s not normally a dessert person.) It effortlessly came together to be breathtakingly beautiful (effortless until I had to figure out how to get it out of a cake pan without flattening the fluffy cloud-like meringue!). Instead […]

You need to make these right away. Hot Cross Buns. They are as much of an Easter tradition as the Easter bunny and painted eggs. Although I didn’t try them until well into adulthood, Emma was born a fan of hot cross buns. I had intentions of making them for years but my aversion to working with yeast (I’ve gotten past that now – see here, here and here) and the raisins (she loves them, I don’t) has always resulted instead with us picking […]

More sweet treats for your sweets this Valentine’s Day. This year has been a veritable Valentine extravaganza at our house and we’re still weeks away from the actual day. We’ve got cards underway and have tested loads of treat options. Unlike years past, I didn’t want to be unprepared and uninspired as we got closer to Valentine’s Day. Emma and Katie are both very interested in celebrating whatever holiday is coming and so, it means we are baking, eating and […]

Love, love, love. Hugs and kisses. Red and pink. Sweets and chocolates. There are a bunch of entities synonymous with modern Valentine’s Day. And, now these Chocolate Cinnamon Cookie Hearts equal Valentine’s Day for us. Chocolatey, with a warm hint of cinnamon spice, these vegan cookies are versatile. I have a few alternatives here so when we make them, there’s a version for everyone. There are ones dipped in deep dark chocolate (my personal favourite), ones filled with raspberry jam […]
