Apple Slice

Try to stop at one! This apple slice is so more-ish.

Banana and Blueberry Bread

Perfect for an afternoon snack.

This delicious moist banana bread is based on a vegan recipe, which I found when searching for a recipe to cater for my nephew's allergies. As a bonus it is low fat, although having a slice spread with butter probably negates that fact!

Apricot Balls

These little balls seem to be a favourite with Dads! They're easy to make and perfect as homemade gifts.

White Christmas

A quick and easy treat to make for the holidays!

Looking for a last minute Christmas gift? What about a plate of White Christmas—bite-sized squares of crunchy rice bubbles mixed with sweet delights.

Hubby was relating how his mother used to always make White Christmas at this time of the year so I decided to have a go. Searching the Web yielded lots of recipes for White Christmas. After taking bits and pieces from different recipes and a disastrous overly-sweet first batch, I ended up with this basic recipe and two batches that cater for the family's dietary restrictions: one low in potassium and another that is dairy-free and nut-free.

Savoury Zucchini Bread

All Winter I have been experimenting with a recipe for a savoury zucchini bread.

Tonight, I finally put the finishing touches to the recipe.

Pumpkin Bread

Butternut pumpkin was on special the other day so I couldn't resist buying a couple more even though I have half in the refrigerator. With so much pumpkin and Winter seeming to have arrived early, I'm busy leafing through my recipe folder for soul-warming food.

Carrot Halwa

“These chilled squares qualify as food for the gods—but mere mortals can enjoy them, too!” Yoga Journal (viewed October 2005)

Gluhwëin

Perfect for a cold Winter's night.

Gluhwëin is also known as mulled or spiced wine. We first tasted gluhwëin in Vienna, Austria where the temperature was near freezing and every Christmas market seemed to have a stall selling it. Maybe not suitable for a Southern hemisphere Christmas but perfect for those Northern Christmases.
