Angel food cake is one of those desserts that instantly brings back memories of my childhood. Soft and fluffy, topped with berries, baked for no good reason at all (like one needs a reason to bake a cake, but you know what I mean), and cooled upside down for what seemed to be the longest.time.ever in little kid minutes. Multi-layered chocolate was the go-to that appeared at birthdays, but angel food was a cake my mother started baking when I was a baby to use up all the egg whites that … [Read more...]
Lemon, Macadamia & Coconut Raw Truffles
Round about 5 years ago, give or take a few days, 84th & 3rd was born. It happened -- without buildup, without fanfare, without a repository of content, without thousands of Instagram followers, but with a single post that told a short story about my life at that very moment. To say the blogging landscape has changed exponentially in the past 5 years (much less the past 10 or 15) is an understatement. New blogs are launched these days with events to rival book releases, with build up … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Smoothie Bowl
One day in late June... J: I just want to run away from it all R: . . . R: *raises eyebrow* J: oh, with you of course R: so when should we leave? Sometimes, in lieu of an immediate departure from the daily grind, chocolate for breakfast is the only solution. No judgement if you make it again and call it dessert. … [Read more...]
Creamy Spiced Apple-Nog (aka Vegan Egg-Nog)
Huh, well it seems that between a Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake last week and a twist on Egg-Nog this week I've unintentionally set the scene for Christmas in July. How terribly festive of me (or more appropriately what a terribly appropriate response to my perpetual complaining about how cold I am...). Maybe I should have convinced RJ to let me leave the tree up for another month. So how did I come to make a concoction named Apple-Nog (or Not-Egg-Nog as I've been affectionately calling it) … [Read more...]
Caramel Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake
There's a story somewhere in my head about life turning upside-down. It may be a story about the decisions you make that lead to life swerving left instead of right, and left ends up being so very right. Or perhaps a story about the decisions that life makes for you while it dances around like an obnoxious frat boy singing lalalala and holding its fingers in its ears, ignoring your instance that this was not-in-the-plan, even if there was no real plan to speak of. I have all … [Read more...]
Decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse
Let it be known that roughly once a week since January my husband has asked for chocolate mousse. Let it also be known that roughly once since January I week I rolled my eyes and ignored his pleas. But the man is nothing if not quick on his feet and a few weeks ago a fly on the wall overheard a conversation that went something like this... J - what kind of cake do you want for your birthday? R - can I pick anything? J - sure R - I want that chocolate mousse that my mate Manu made for … [Read more...]

Hi, thanks for popping over! Grab a cuppa and a seat, morning tea will be ready shortly. If you're located anywhere in Australia you'll know that Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is once again in full swing.

The event, held throughout May and June each year, puts Australia's morning tea … [Read more...]
