Double Chocolate Banana Cake {vegan, GF}

September 13, 2019

I decided to wing it with this one. After all, making cakes week in and week out gives one a fair idea of how to do it right… right?! Based loosely on my own adaptation of Tracy Benjamin’s Hippy Banana Bread, and loosely on my own ideas of how to make a vegan chocolate cake,…

Best Ever Muffin Master Mix {nut-free}

February 8, 2017

Welcome back! Big changes have been occurring over here! My little one, my constant companion, the one who makes my heart sing and drives me batty all at the same time, has started at preschool. Yes, preschool. Can you imagine? We’re still in the transition stage, that is, I am. I’m still grieving, but he’s…

I am so, so happy to be enjoying warm, sunny days again! It’s been far too long! Today was one of those; the weather was perfect. Mister 3 chose not to attend play group so we stayed home and chilled instead. Sometimes home days are the best days. They mean we can spend quality time…

Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Cake

February 14, 2016

I was a teenager when I first tasted and fell in love with zucchini muffins. Muffins were not a big thing in Australia when I was a child, so it was only when I was older, and attending an international school with a largely American cohort, that I was introduced to my first muffin crush!…

Pumpkin, Orange & Cranberry Spelt Muffins

With all this baking, friends often ask me how I don’t get fat. Breast feeding has certainly helped, but the most common answer is, “I give it all away”. Hubby was searching for baked goodies to pack in his work lunch the other day, and I had to tell him that there were none. In…

Melt & Mix Banana Bread

September 24, 2015

So, there we were on a fine spring day, staying at home instead of attending play group, all because the kid has decided to toilet train. Who’d have thought? Just a day before, it had been a struggle to get him to even sit on the toilet. Then I chatted with some mummy friends and…

Lime & Coconut Cake {gluten-free + dairy-free}

July 23, 2014

Sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut. Make that all the time. But I like honesty; I prefer to be truthful. So I say it like it is. Or rather, I say what I’m thinking. Not always a good plan. We were out for coffee, two other gal pals and I. One, a dietician,…

April 5, 2014

Harmony Day 21 March is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home – from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world. www.harmony.gov.au One of the great things about this nation is that everyone here is a migrant, or from a migrant…

Pear & Raspberry Coconut Bread

One thing you learn quickly with having a young baby in the house is that an early bedtime is a good thing. Although our son is generally a good night sleeper, it is not unknown for us to crash at 9pm, in order to recoup some energy and much-needed rest. Gone are the days when…

Malibu Coconut Bread

July 31, 2013

{Disclaimer}: I use the word ‘Malibu’ loosely; the only rum in this bread is essence, and the only Malibu is on the jacket I’m wearing as I bake. 😉 “We’re all going on a summer holiday…” Ha! If only…! It’s the middle of winter here – cold, grey and miserable, but plans are afoot to get…

Maple Syrup Muffins

October 7, 2006

Okay, so I tried the Gâteau Sirop Muffins from the Chocolate & Zucchini site, using Canadian maple syrup instead. They weren’t very impressive. The mix was far too thin; they therefore popped out on top and did not make the promised 12 muffins. But never mind – I have now had the pleasure of adjusting…
