Let's get this out of the way up front. The bourbon is out, again. It's Christmas, it happens, embrace it. Also, for someone who doesn't really eat sugar, there have been an enormous number of desserts making an appearance here - and I haven't posted a single savory recipe in ages. We'll get there, one day. But for now - Sugar.And.Bourbon masquerading as Eggnog Royal Icing. Now I don't generally decorate Gingerbread Cookies. When we were younger they got slathered with icing and all sorts … [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...]
Sweet Adventures Blog Hop: Festive Favourites

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...]
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...]
