My kids will openly EAT Avocado, but I just love avocado blended into sweet treats – adds a delicious creaminess and flavor to a sweet treat and nobody can usually guess the hidden ingredient! Here are a selection of sweet treats with hidden avocado, simply click on the link or delicious photo to be taken […]
Best Chocolate Mousse
I have a confession to make: I LOVE Chocolate Mousse! It’s my favorite dessert and I have tried every imaginable recipe, from healthy ones with Tofu to rich and sweet ones with ingredients like marshmallows and custard. My all time Best Chocolate Mousse recipe just has to be from The Cook’s Companion by Stephanie Alexander. […]
Instant Raspberry Ice Cream
The other day, out of nowhere, Mr 3 asked for Ice Cream. I haven’t made him Ice-Cream in months and it’s getting colder and colder here in Australia, so I’m not sure what prompted his request. Not having any Ice Cream in the freezer, I thought I’d experiment and whip him up some instant ice […]
Chocolate Dipped Fruit – Wordless Wednesday
It was my Wedding Anniversary a few days ago. As a surprise for my Husband, I made him these little Eiffel Towers of Orange Rockmelon/Cantaloupe and Watermelon and then dipped the spires in melted dark chocolate. He proposed to me in front of the Eiffel Tower (yes, a cliche, I know!) so the structure holds […]
Gluten Free Sesame Muffins – Wordless Wednesday
I’ve been playing around with these Gluten Free Sesame Muffins the past month or so, I’ve made them a few times and while I like them, the family isn’t too keen, so I thought I’d share them briefly this Wordless Wednesday and move on from experimenting with them! To make them, simply beat 3 egg […]
Oaty Cranberry & Seed Bites
These delicious little bites were adapted from a recipe from Nigella Express. I had a tin of condensed milk in the pantry and had been looking for a “healthy” recipe to include it in, knowing that the sweetness in the little tin would make all other ingredients sing. When I stumbled on this recipe […]
Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins – Happy Australia Day!
Happy Australia Day! The weather here in Melbourne is perfect – not too hot or cold, just sunny, clear and warm! For Melbourne that’s a real treat, it’s more often one extreme or the other! To celebrate the glorious day, we took the boys down to a park in South Melbourne on the beach and […]
Chocolate Chunk And Lemon Muffins
About once a week I try to bake with my boys. I do try to cook as healthy treats as possible, so while this recipe does have chocolate chunks in it, it’s very low in sugar (only half a cup) and there’s no butter, just 1/4 of a cup of oil. As an alternative to […]
Strawberry Pavlova
Pavlova is crunchy and sweet and usually covered in cream and high in calories. Simply follow your favorite pavlova recipe (it’s basically a mix of beaten egg whites, sugar, vinegar and a bit of cornflour), though I only use about a third to half the amount of sugar and it’s always sweet enough! I top […]
