Quick & Easy Lemon Cheesecake

Fraises à la Crème Sucrée (Strawberries & Sweet Cream)

Everyone loves strawberries and cream, well this is like strawberries and cream with a touch of class. A little bit of sweetness with a beautiful flavour of strawberries. This will sure be a crowd pleaser at any large gathering. No one will be able to resist the temptation of a second helping. So easy to make and so irresistible!

Sweet Tropical Fruit Salad

This is a traditional Filipino dish, made easy by using canned fruits. Just what everyone needs for a quick and easy dessert when friends or family are coming over for a feast. It is great for any festive occasion but goes down perfectly after a Christmas dinner. This dish always tastes better made a day ahead.

Christmas Gingerbread House - Assembly

I have posted the instructions on how to make this gingerbread house in three parts because that is really how the whole process occurs, in three stages. The making of the Gingerbread, the cutting and baking of the house parts and the building of the house. Which is what I will show you now.

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ahhh! Ferrero, don't we just love em'!

I know I am not the only one, so that is why I have created this scrumtious, not for the faint hearted, Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies! And if you bake them just right they will be the most perfect biscuit you have ever eaten. try not to feel guilty, I have probably eaten more than my fair share! ;-)

Christmas Gingerbread House - Preparation

This Gingerbread House is something I really enjoy making for Christmas, I make it in place of the traditional Christmas Cake. Everyone loves it when it comes time to break up the Gingerbread House on Christmas Day. It may look complicated but with the right instructions and patience anyone can bake, build and decorate this delightful little house.

Traditional Gingerbread Christmas Biscuits

Every year at Christmas time I love to bake this traditional Gingerbread recipe and have my children join me in creating these colourful Christmas delights. I also use this same recipe to create a Gingerbread house which I will post shortly.

ANZAC Biscuits

"Did you know it is said that ANZAC biscuits were sent by wives to the soldiers at war because the ingredients did not spoil easily."

This is a family favourite! I love baking the good ol' ANZAC biscuit as the recipe is so quick and easy. They are a great lunch box extra and great for when friends drop around. The Anzac biscuit can also be frozen and thawed when needed.

Brown Biscuits

These brown biscuits are so quick and easy to make and great for that last minute lunch-box filler. This is a recipe which my Mum makes and her Mum before her made. Even if you burn them they taste great!!

Banana Cake

When I have a bunch of over ripened bananas I always bake this easy but yummy and moist Banana Cake. It is a great way of using up the ripened bananas that no one will eat and it tastes so good you just can't stop at one piece.

Agave Kiss Cocktail

A perfect drink for a Valentines Day dinner to share with your sweet heart!



The way to a woman's heart...
...is through her sweet tooth.

Sweet Pastry

This is a sweet pastry recipe, used for flans, tarts, pies etc. This is used for my recipe - Clafoutis

Blackberry Clafoutis

Clafoutis can be made with different berries but i usually make it with blackberries as we have a lot of blackberry bushes nearby. This also tastes delicious with blueberries, but you can experiment with other berries like cherries.

Pavlova - Always a Crowd Pleaser!

Pavlova was always a family favourite, being made to perfection by my mum. Every birthday, Christmas or any celebration her much desired pav would be made, and always the first dessert to be devoured. Bad luck if you were too busy in conversation, if you did not get to the pav straight away you would miss out and be left to fight over the crumbs on the plate. 

I hope you enjoy this recipe and please feel free to leave a comment below.

Easy Birthday Cake

I made this birthday cake in one morning, it is so quick and easy! My daughter asked for a cake covered in lollies (who doesn't love that). 

So first I made this One-Bowl Easy Chocolate Cake recipe. Click on Link below. It is great, you just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix! Gotta love that!

Then I just made up some chocolate icing which is made up of pure icing sugar, cocoa, teaspoon of butter and milk. Before placing it on the cake I heated it for about 15 seconds in the microwave for easy spreading and then threw on some lollies!
