...that's what little girls are made of. And lets be honest, whether we are 6 or 30-something or 70-something we all like sweet, pretty things, you know it's true. Things and Stuff and More Things Thursday is brought to you this week by a couple of sweet links a SABH announcement and a Christmas gift flash-back. Up first the food: I remember years ago being told that you could grow a pineapple from the crown. Turns out it's true, no joke. Check out these step by step instructions from … [Read more...]
Nut-tella-type Choc-Hazelnut Spread
I have had this recipe sitting in a notebook, and these pics sitting on my computer, for a while. I've been meaning to make it again and get some better photos, but I have been reasonably chocolate-ed out lately and so it has gone to the wayside. However, today has been claimed as 'World Nutella Day' so even though I will re-make the spread and take new photos eventually, I felt it was my duty to post this today in both celebration and revolt. What's one more chocolate recipe before we get back … [Read more...]
How to: Disco Cake! Chocolate Cake, Sugar Cookie Pops, 2 kinds of Buttercream and lots of sparkle – it’s all happening here.
A few weekends ago I made a cake for my niece's 6th birthday - but this was no ordinary cake. At the core is my go-to Karma Chocolate Cake. There was Chocolate Fudge Icing and Vanilla Buttercream. There were Sugar Cookies as decoration - who uses cookies for decoration??! There were little silver candies and shimmery dusting powder. There were dreamy pink and purple swirls of icing. You see it was a disco party. And a disco party requires none other than a Disco Cake - with stars and … [Read more...]
Caramel Bourbon Bananas and Whipped Coconut Cream
I've been bad. Not bad because I used bourbon yet again. Not bad because I want to put this on everything I eat. Not bad because it is so amazingly addictively good. But bad because I've made you wait over 2 months for the recipe. How dare I. Back in November for our first SABH challenge I made a Deconstructed Chocolate Pavlova topped 4 ways. I made it through the Red Wine Pears and the Zabaglione and the Chocolate Pudding posts but then Christmas hit and I neglected to share my favorite … [Read more...]
Things and stuff and more things – ‘Stralia Day
Happy Australia Day! Or if you want to sound like a local, Happy 'Stralia Day Maate. You should probably go make Lamingtons or Pavlova or eat a meat pie to celebrate. We however had Pumpkin Pie Pancakes for brunch and watched out the window as it rained, then pretended to clear up, then rained, then pretended to clear up. Around 5 we got sick of waiting for the weather to cooperate and headed into the city to sit by the water and drink cider and watch some jazz - the rain stayed away. Then we … [Read more...]
Kale Chips
Chips and beer, chips and beer, chips and beer. Well maybe just chips, but still, they would be brilliant with beer. Also, if you have never had Chimay... what is there to even say about it... a spring evening with friends, an autumn afternoon in a beer garden, a winter's night curled up with a good book... Belgian, rich, a little bit fruity, and just simply amazing. However, if you are a perpetual 'gimme a pint of America-land Light' kind of person, while the chips will still go down a … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Wafers and Ice Cream Sandwiches
I gave you a little peek at these Chocolate Wafers in my Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream post on Monday... they are so totally worth the wait! When it came time a few weeks back to come up with my Death by Chocolate SABH idea I couldn't stop at just the ice cream - it screamed out for something more, but what? Years ago I made these choc wafers and they were perfect. And brilliantly memorable as evidenced by their firm place in my junk drawer of a memory. Crispy fresh wafers which soften … [Read more...]
