Cinnamon Muffins
Every so often my kids get a hankering to bake. We flick through my Grandma’s recipe books or a kid’s cookbook to find something that will hit the spot. Preferably it will be something quick and easy to make, which will allow for plenty of spoon licking and a quick turn around before eating something…
Coconut Slice
I was going through my own collection of recipes this week and came across a recipe I wrote up when I was six: Raspberry and Coconut Slice. We were having some guests over the next day and my son (who is turning into quite the cook) wanted to try it out to share with them….
Nutty Brownies
One of the joys of COVID-19 isolation is the time we can now carve out in the kitchen.

Apple Cranberry Pie was the first of many early culinary sharing among our ancestors and is the perfect combination of the…
Ultimate Dark Chocolate Bliss Balls
I’m pretty sure I have cracked the code. I have been doing a lot of trial and error with bliss balls lately. Trying to find the perfect formula for a healthy snack which doesn’t involve sugar or dairy. I can say with confidence that these are the best. In fact, I would venture to say…
Lemon Coconut Cake
This past week has been surreal really. We are in the thrust of the first world-wide pandemic in 100 years, and it’s hard not to feel as though you are living in a movie. My children all came down with the flu (not COVID-19, I don’t think!) and were asked by their school to remain…
Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake
I love cheesecake. Problem is it’s not very healthy. Usually, it is loaded with dairy and sugar and all things naughty (but nice). Enter this vegan (no dairy), sugar-free (but still sweet and delicious) vegan blueberry cheesecake recipe. A healthy alternative to your usual blueberry cheesecake that still tastes delicious. It’s amazing to think that…
