Many of you know that I’ve been getting fresh, organic vegetables from Eat Fresh, and that with each bag of goodies I get dragon fruit as it’s in season right now. Now… there comes a point when I become overwhelmed with dragon fruit, so I chop it into bite-size pieces and freeze it. But once…

Butterscotch Pretzel Crunch Bars
You may remember the Rice Krispie treats that I made for the Twelve Cookies of Christmas series last year. Well, this is a different spin on those treats. These treats, though, are a good combination of sweet and salty. Add more pretzel pieces if you want to have more salt. I just want you to…
S’mores Cake Bars
A while ago I was experimenting with brownies, but I didn’t have enough fat content and they baked a bit too dry. So, instead of lamenting, I blitzed them into brownie crumbs, and froze them for a later date. I knew they’d come in handy as a base layer for something. One day, while needing…
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I haven’t planned to make a bunch of vegan recipes, but I had the right ingredients lying around that needed using up. Plus, it’s always fun making cookies! The other beauty of this recipe is that it can all be made in one bowl, which makes for much easier clean up. You can change the…
Vegan Choc Chip Pumpkin Loaf
I never really understood the American’s love for pumpkin-based desserts. I couldn’t see the appeal. However, I will raise my hand up and say that I was judging a book by it’s cover. Adding pumpkin makes a baked good incredibly moist, and the spices added (those normally associated with pumpkin-based desserts) add such a great…
Mint Chocolate Pots de Creme
It’s the last day of 2019. We’re entering a new year and a new decade. What better way to celebrate 2020, than with mint chocolate pots de creme? They’re easy to make, require minimal equipment and taste delicious. I used a mixture of skimmed and whole milk for the pots de creme, but you can…
Chocolate Sour Cream Cake
I love putting sour cream into cakes. It makes them so moist and delicious, it seems crazy that they are not a staple in all cakes. I know, some of you are going to be cringing at the word moist – but cakes need to be just that. Dry, crumbly cakes are not enjoyable to…
Magic Cookie Bars
I need to start this post with a huge disclaimer: This recipe is essentially just lots of different types of sugar put together. So, just be warned. This is not a message to shame anyone, or tell you how much you should or shouldn’t eat. I mean, I’m definitely not one to talk. This is…
Chocolate Yule Log
I always used to look in awe at Yule Logs, I found them so beautiful and loved all the different ways they could be decorated. And, let’s be honest, I loved how much chocolate was involved. I have memories of Yule Logs as dessert at Christmas time, but I don’t remember them very well. I…
Christmas Peppermint Loaf Cake
I told you there’d be new iterations of the yoghurt loaf cake. And this is it, a Christmas Peppermint cake. I used a Nordic Ware decorative loaf tin for this cake, as I felt it was appropriate, and the design really felt Christmas-y. The peppermint flavours don’t overwhelm the cake, but be careful with peppermint…
