I’ve taken to baking a wee bit lately. Be it cakes, cupcakes or sweets – I’ve been giving it a crack. I had been hamstrung when it came to trying certain new recipes as I’ve never owned kitchen scales before. Well all that changed today, as Timi brought me a shiny set for my very own… he’s the bestest! No more comparing visually to a stick of butter portions or converters online!!

1 cup castor sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups S/R flour
1 pt dark chocolate bit pieces
4 cups crushed corn flakes (An extra 2 cups for rolling)

Preheat oven to 180C

Cream butter and sugar, fold in eggs and vanilla till light and fluffy.

Fold in flour and choc bits until well combined. Add 2 cups of crushed cornflakes mix until combined.

Roll dough into golf ball sized pieces and roll in a crushed cornflakes to finish.

Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on a rack and enjoy!

whilst having a spot of brunch at a local cafe in seddon I spied this little beauty in the jar on the counter. I absolutely adore how much effort it would take to contruct a batch of these. Cant wait to go to a party worthy of having a crack at these myself!

field of dreams

Upon a recent visit to Grill’d, I was pleased to see more than just the token lentil/tofu pattie for us non-meat eaters. Grill’d have put together the ‘Field of Dreams burger” which consist of a grilled field mushroom, roasted capsicum, tasty cheese, basil pesto, cos lettuce, and herb mayo. You then have the choice of bread either panini or wholemeal bun. Couple this with some of the Grill’d herbed chips and your set. Their burgers look amazingly good and they make them all in front of you. All of the vego burgers are 100% vegan too.
