Last year I made my first gingerbread house and enjoyed the making and eating of it so much that I decided it should become an annual tradition for our little family. This year, little M was old enough to join in the fun too. I decided to make some mini houses this year and also […]
Recently, I came across a blog post featuring Sweet Potato Chips that immediately grabbed my attention. Why? Because these crispy, sweet chips were cooked in the microwave in mere minutes with absolutely no oil. Uh yes please! I had to try it out immediately. I was beyond impressed when it actually worked. They tasted and […]
I’m in full-tilt Christmas mode right now. I can’t wait to shower the house in festive sparkle. I know some of you are nowhere near ready to consider Christmas yet… If that’s you then I’m sorry and I suggest you don’t come around here for the next few weeks ha! My latest festive project is […]
Last christmas I came across this sweet nativity advent made of felt. I loved the idea and knew I had to make something similar for our home immediately. Unfortunately with traveling to New Zealand last December and arriving home a few days before Christmas with jet lag and colds… an advent calendar just didn’t make […]
Peeking anxiously through the oven door I was thrilled to see rows of smooth round tops with signature ruffly edges underneath. “Feet eeeeek! They have feet!!!” I gushed. Jumping, clapping and happy dancing ensued. Macarons have been my baking nemesis for some time now. I’ve attempted them many times without much success. They’ve been too […]
We moved into a new house this summer. I’m quite smitten with it. Oodles of space for our little family, stained glass windows and original fireplace features. Also, a big back garden which has been awesome this summer for BBQs, picnics and for little m to run around in. We’ve never had a garden before […]
There is an edge in the air this week, the first reminder that summer is packing her bags and will soon be gone for another year. This makes me sad. I console myself in the knowledge that when autumn arrives, it will bring wonderful things like cinnamon, pumpkin and hearty soups. In the meantime, I’m […]
Summer is my favourite season and fresh berries are one of my favourite summer things. This slice tastes like summer. A thin buttery crust topped with plump blackberries and raspberries nestled in a custard pie filling. Nuff said. Here’s the recipe, do try it. Berry berry slice Loosely adapted from here 1 cup white flour […]
The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker that I was so delighted to receive for Christmas has been sadly idle for the last 7 months. Not due to a lack of interest on my part – I’ve been itching to use it for months, but because until now our freezer has been too small to fit the […]
We are heading to the way-beyonds of south Cork tomorrow, taking a few days away to relax, sleep, eat and enjoy the outdoors. Before we go I thought I would leave you with some sweet easter treats. Happy Easter! These cupcakes were my first time adding malt powder to buttercream. Oh my. This is genius! […]
