Banana & Almond Butter Stuffed French Toast
Happy Bloggiversary to me! 84th & 3rd turned 1 year old last week and to celebrate I turned the computer off, boycotted cooking and went to yoga, I deserved it. A whole year, can you believe it? In honour of this momentous event I made French Toast for brunch this past weekend. Not this French Toast, or this one but a whole new beast - Banana and Almond Butter Stuffed French Toast. And it doesn't stop there... vanilla, orange juice, and oh, right, Bourbon. Because you can't really have a … [Read more...]
The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop
Hey you! Yes, you. Stop looking around like there is someone else I could be talking to. You are reading a food blog if you haven't noticed [well mostly food, so close enough] so it was only a matter of time before I asked you to play along... The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop Late last week I ended up in a conversation on Twitter with Delicieux, The Hungry Australian, Dining With a Stud, and The Capers of the Kitchen Crusader, about none other than the wondrous Pavlova. Based on the … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Truffles
Damn you Twitter and Pinterest. All I've seen for days are different interpretations of Peanut Butter and Chocolate - baked together, mashed together, mixed together. I came home from work this evening and could no longer resist - so I made the most literal [and quick] interpretation I could think of. You could use all Peanut Putter - I used half and half, Almond and Peanut Butters because I don't usually eat Peanut Butter but still have some buried in the back of the fridge. You could double … [Read more...]
Eat.Drink.Blog
Eat.Drink.Blog.Eat.Drink.Blog.Eat.Drink.Blog. True, it's what I do for some portion of pretty much every day, but this weekend I had the honour of getting together for a full day of food blog immersion with a group of like minded people from across Australia. People who are more prone to snapping shots of cake before tasting it, who don't mind the entree getting a bit tepid before even thinking about taking a bite, who look for tables with the best light - rather than the most privacy, … [Read more...]
Grandma Takes a Trip
Before we left on our little adventure there was, amongst other things, a small matter of what on earth to wear to Blogher '11. There were parties to attend after all, and I needed sparkly items ... and I'm sure there were a multitude of other reasons I made up at the time to justify why I had to go vintage shopping on the last weekend before we flew out ... 'Grandma Takes a Trip' in Surry Hills was recommended to me by a friend as a place to find something fun. I had been meaning to go there … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie Spread
Um, yum, just yum. For as much as I love Cake! I am at least as equally obsessed with Pie! Not the crust bit mind you, in my opinion it really just gets in the way of the business end of pie - the filling. Sweet, savory, creamy, fruity, whatever, I could sit with a pie tin and eat the whole middle bit - one small spoonful at a time. Now I've just shared with you my crusade on pumpkin, so what else to do but get straight to the point on this one. Apple, pumpkin, spices and voila, a spread … [Read more...]
