Well, it took me much longer than in past years but I've finally gotten my bake-on for Christmas. Maybe it was the exhilaration of a lunchtime early-mark for the last day of work, maybe it was the sunshine - did you hear that? SUNSHINE and warmth and blue sky, thank goodness - maybe it was the realisation that it was only 2 days from Christmas and instead of 5 different kinds of cookies and 2 different pies and days of planning for a Christmas feast, I'd only made Cranberry Bars and … [Read more...]
Christmas Cranberry Bars
When we chose 'Festive Favourites' as the theme for our December Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, the first thing that came to mind was 'how on earth am I expected to choose just one favourite dessert from the raft of holiday celebratory sweets that are out there'? It just isn't fair to all the others! But I managed [ha!] and if you're busy baking your way through December as well, make sure to join the SABH and link up your Festive Fav Dessert at the bottom of this post. You can also read more about … [Read more...]
Not your ordinary Gingerbread… and oh, I’m famous…
Oooh, what a mysterious title. Not really all that mysterious, but it's late and so, you know, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Also, ~famous~ is entirely relative in its use here, but we'll get to that shortly. There are many things about this Gingerbread that do indeed make it extra-ordinary however. For starters it has Pomegranate seeds on it - how festive are those little buggers?! And then there is the piping - Eggnog Royal Icing. Yep, you read right, Eggnog.Royal.Icing. A … [Read more...]
Whole Spelt Pie Crust
HEY, HEY YOU! I've recently updated this recipe over here -- you may want to pop over and use the new one instead! It's been refined over the past five years but I wanted to keep this one (instead of doing a 301 redirect for all you good blogger types) because I do think it's important to keep a record of where you've been. ~ JJ --------- I probably shouldn't start a pie crust post by telling you that I don't really like crust. Scandalous isn't it? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, and … [Read more...]
Bounty Bites
Everyone needs to have a treat every now and then. If it ticks the healthy and satisfying and moorish boxes all at once, even better. I found these Organic Dates on sale the other day and had to do something with them. All of the flavours in these little morsels of goodness meld together beautifully and nothing overpowers. I could have called them Coconut-Chocolate-Date-Nut-Truffle-Balls, but Bounty Bites just sounds nicer to me... Make sure you don’t miss the alternate recipe combination … [Read more...]
Cake for good
I was getting a post together about the homemade sprinkles I had been trialling when my sister-in-law called to ask if I could help her out with some CupCakes for my nephew's school. The wife and newborn son of a teacher at the school were in a terrible accident a few weeks ago and tomorrow the school is holding a CupCake fundraiser benefiting the family. A whole lot of year 3 boys are going to be on a sugar high tomorrow. Hopefully they understand what their little community … [Read more...]
