Roughly a year or so ago I shared a pic of this lovely little treat, but it was only this morning I got around to making it again and taking decent pics. Why now? Well I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop once again this month and rather than just tell you the theme I figured I'd kick off with a recipe too! December SABH is about celebration and versatility, all wrapped up in the perfect bite-size dessert -- Heavenly Holiday Truffles! The details: Theme: ‘Heavenly Holiday … [Read more...]
Baked Ricotta Cheesecake with Fig & Strawberry Compote
This story begins and ends with me eating cake for breakfast so, if you get worried along the way, be safe in the knowledge that everything will be ok. On cheesecake and fat If you are going to eat cheesecake just accept that it should be full fat. You can try to mess with it, go low-fat, but honestly ... why bother? It's cheesecake. I'm not going to get into the pro/con argument over fat, there are plenty of people leading that particular charge just fine on their own, but keep in mind … [Read more...]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream & Halloween Ice Cream Bars
Pumpkin makes me think of autumn, simple as that. Overflowing bins of carving pumpkins just crying out to become jack-o-lanterns. Costumes and candy and festive parties and crazy decorations. The promise of Pumpkin Pie at rapidly approaching holiday dinners. I've said it before and I'll say it again, no matter how long I live in Australia I still associate end of year holidays with cold weather -- and Halloween falls firmly in this category. People in many parts of the world don't … [Read more...]
SABH October – Halloween!
After a few months filled with a few new fabulous guest hostesses I'm back to take my turn hosting for Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. As it is October and I do have a soft spot for all things pumpkin and Halloween, I couldn't quite resist making this month's SABH theme all about ghouls, ghosts and general trick or treat debauchery. This is your chance to use your imagination and go crazy! Put your cupcakes in a witches hat costume, dress them up as little devils or pipe on frosting in the … [Read more...]
Concord Grape Curd & Vegan Meringue Pie Parfaits
Well now isn't that a mouthful in more ways than one. I mentioned that we are off on another adventure, however as the first two weeks of our trip involved hanging out in Cape Cod with my extended family, followed by a week at Mom's farm in upstate NY, it was nearly impossible to keep me out of the kitchen. I found myself whipping up salads and cakes and more salads along the way so figured I may as well pull out a slightly unusual twist for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog … [Read more...]
Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles & a makeover, of course
I have no story to tell today. My head is full, but full of lists and need-to-dos and must-dos and should-dos. The lists squeeze the stories into a tiny room with little light and a window that seems to be painted shut. The stories bang on the door every now and then, demanding attention. I appease them with tea and cookies. I'm hoping I can appease you with the same. These cookies have been percolating in my head every since they were suggested by Jackie B over on this post as … [Read more...]
Almond Croissants – the makeover edition
I once read in a book that there is no such thing as a coincidence. The story went that when something or someone repeatedly crossed your path there was a cosmic reason behind it. The author continued on to explain that you should not just dismiss these occurrences as coincidence, but actively pursue them to determine how it could change the path of your life. Of course the people in this book, if I remember correctly, could also see energy and eventually crossed into another astral … [Read more...]
