This Banana Rhubarb and Raspberry Slice not only looks amazing, it tastes sensational. The sweetness of the ripe bananas paired with the tartness of the rhubarb really is is a match made in heaven. My kids are both back at school as of today and seeing as this Banana Rhubarb and Raspberry Slice is their current favourite snack, it's only fitting that I share it here in the membership. I can't ...

This Banana Chocolate Swirl Cake uses the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and paired with chocolate and peanut butter, it's a flavour match made in heaven (there's a delicious nut-free version too). This cake not only tastes amazing but looks fabulous with the added marbled effect throughout. Plus, it is super simple and fuss-free to make and has become my go-to when I have over ripe bananas ...
I love a tasty omelette and this Leek, Capsicum and Feta Omelette is just that. It's something I make regularly for breakfast (if you chop your vegges the evening before whilst making dinner it is even quicker to whip up in the morning). Or if I need a quick, healthy lunch or lazy dinner, then an omelette it is. My family love this flavour combination and I hope yours do to. Take a ...

We're right on the cusp of shifting from winter to new season summer produce. Every year, I find it's about now that the once crisp, bursting with flavour apples I've been buying are just not doing it for me. Some just don't have the flavour, others are floury and a bit gross. But I never throw them, I just re-invent them like I've done here with this Apple Crumble Cake. Truth is, once cooked and ...
These Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cups have long been one of my party go-to's. One because my kids feel like they've hit the jackpot with them and two, because even kids used to processed treats think these are the bomb. It's also good for intolerance aware parties being egg, nut, gluten, dairy and grain-free. Don't be put off by the avocado. My kids both dislike avo but love this decadent ...
This Breakfast Hash Pie came about when my son was wanting me to make hash browns and I couldn't be bothered frying them individually. So, I came up with this 'lazy' version of a brekkie hash. We also have many mornings we have less than 20 minutes to eat and get out the door. So make ahead brekkie's are an essential part of my 'eating well' routine. The best thing about my Breakfast Hash Pie, is ...
I don't have a great memory, especially for dates and numbers in general. But for food, I'm always on point. I remember flavour combinations, textures and food with friends. One memory I carry is of maple roast macadamia nuts dipped in dark chocolate from a winery on the Mornington Peninsula, many moons ago. Because I don't have the patience or time to individually coat each nut, this Maple ...
There are many wonderful things about the festive season. The creation of family traditions, especially those involving delicious food are one of my favourites.

It's been a starter for of our Christmas Day feasts ...

My hubby and kids are even more thankful to Alexx, they ...
This healthy yoghurt cake has long been a go-to cake of mine. Like all of my recipes, it's evolved over the years (from a high sugar, refined flour cake) - I've always loved the nice moist crumb yoghurt cakes produce. I've been keeping this recipe aside for a special occasion and with Mother's Day coming up, here we have it. Seeing as the weather has cooled off a bit, I thought I'd make it with ...
This week's Spiced Carrot Cake Chocolate Truffle recipe is one for the Easter Bunny! All of my taste testers (including my two little blondies) are in love with these little balls of deliciousness, so I reckon the big bunny will be impressed too. My hubby said I should call them healthy Jaffas (kids couldn't confer as they've not tried them, but Jaffas are now on their radar since stories of him ...
