Did you know that a few years back February 5th was declared World Nutella Day? Cheer and celebrate all you like, but I'll pass. While I won't subject you [again] to my very strong opinions on the ingredient list of Nutella you are more than welcome to catch up on last year's rant over here. But wait, don't go! It isn't all gloom and doom, as my stand against World Nutella Day simply takes the form of yet another Nut-tella-type Chocolate Spread, providing an alternative to cups of sugar and … [Read more...]
Lamington Cupcakes & Chocolate Fudge Glaze
For the number of desserts that get shared here most of them are whole grain or gluten free, many are vegan, and almost all are refined sugar free. This isn't a bad thing by any means and as much as I love the challenge of flipping recipes, sometimes I just want to make something classic and naughty. For a while I was making cakes for other people and got to stretch my chocolate-peanut-butter-meringue-raspberry-sauce-cream-cheese-dulce-de-leche-more-chocolate baking muscles on a regular basis … [Read more...]
Chocolate Spice Cookies for the Mayan Apocalypse
He looked up at the sky every night like generations before him had, observing, charting, measuring, but tonight was different. Tonight there was a star that appeared to be coming to earth. He had seen shooting stars before, but this time it was controlled, almost as if someone was piloting the star like a ship... Some say the great knowledge of the Mayans came from time travelers or extra terrestrials. How else could could an ancient culture know so much? How could they pinpoint the length … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Smoothie & Green-Machine Banana Smoothie
Seasonally-induced-home-sickness. Northern-hemisphere-displaced-persons affliction. Whatever you want to call it, it happens to me every year about this time. You'd think that after seeing everyone during our recent trip it wouldn't be as bad, but somehow it's worse. It's not that Sydney isn't gorgeous but, as anyone who lives far away from home knows, the holidays can be pretty hard. It's the night before Thanksgiving in the US right now. Most of my family is back in Philly, mom is playing … [Read more...]
Good Food & Wine 2012 – Sydney
Just in time for the Adelaide Good Food & Wine Show I'm getting around to my [stunningly Instagramed] Sydney wrap up, how very convenient! It's no secret I love a good food event, so I was chuffed when I was contacted by Chobani asking if I would like tickets to the 2012 Sydney Good Food & Wine Show. Having never attended, I was eager to go this year and as such had already entered into a Facebook contest for a double pass from Australian Good Taste Magazine – but really who ever wins … [Read more...]
Delicious Power Crackles | Guest Post
About now we are somewhere on Route 66 - taking the long way from Kansas City to Chicago because we can. So how, you may ask, have I had time to bring you these little morsels of goodness? Cue the magic of the blogging community! You may know Christina as one of my co-hosts for the monthly Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, or perhaps as the co-chair of Eat.Drink.Blog-2012 or maybe just from her own gorgeous blog The Hungry Australian, but today she's here to visit. A few months back I did a guest … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Chocolate Quinoa Pie Crust
I claimed a while back that I don't like Pie Crust. Apparently I've been on a mission to change my own mind ever since. This brilliant creation has been percolating for quite some time - ever since I made the crunchy chocolatey wafers for my Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches as a matter of fact. You see, that Chocolate Wafer recipe was a massive make-over from an original butter/white flour/sugar laden one, and as such I experimented with spelt flour, quinoa flour and buckwheat to find … [Read more...]
