Join us This may be my new favourite snack! Delicious chocolately goodness with a secret ingredient - chickpeas! Even kidney beans work a treat! Who would have thought. This is a great party food or slightly healthier dessert. I use 70%+ dark chocolate for this recipe. If you do not like dark chocolate you can use milk chocolate. The dark will give it a much stronger chocolate flavour so just keep that in mind. It is best consumed straight away. You can refrigerate it but it will firm up so you will need to add a little milk and give it another mix. This can be made as firm or [...]

Join us Does anyone else have 265 cans of condensed milk in their cupboard? I have no idea how I started a condensed milk family but I have (actually I blame my Lazy Caramel Slice recipe!!). They are all there staring at me every time I open the pantry. I hate to break up the family but I need to start using some. Friends and family are about to be inundated with food gifts! These biscuits are a great way to use up a tin and make a large batch of delicious biscuits. There are lots of simialr recipes around the internet that add an egg or 1+ cup of [...]

Join us This recipe for Caramel Rice Bubble Bars comes from my wonderful friend Amy who is an amazing cook and has so many amazing recipes just like this one. Word of warning - these Caramel Rice Bubble Bars are very moreish! I didn't think I would like them as much as I did. They are a strong honey flavour but the sesame seeds add a slightly nutty flavour to them. These are a great twist to traditional rice bubble bars sold in the supermarket. They have a handful of very basic everday ingredients and are so easy to whip up. My 6 year old loves making a batch of [...]

Join us These pikelets are so yummy and so popular in our house I had to share them. Now my Fluffy Vanilla Pikelets are so delicious (and probably one of the most popular recipes on the blog) but these Mini Choc Chip Pikelets make a nice change. These freeze really well so why not make a double batch and freeze some for the lunchbox. Why not try my: Apple Cinnamon Pikelets Lime Coconut Pikelets Orange Poppyseed Pikelets Today is the first day of our fourth round of the #freezertolunchbox 5 day challenge. This edition is all about recreating store bought favourites and oh boy do we have delicious recipes coming [...]

Join us Today is the final day of our third round of #freezertolunchbox 5 day challenge. This edition was all about hidden veggies. If you missed the challenge and want to know when another is running sign up to our notification mailing list! These biscuits are a variation of my Banana Bread Biscuits I posted a little while ago. When I was making them I thought I would experiment a little with a second batch as I knew I have the hidden veggies challenge coming up. The great thing about these is you can add whatever veggie you have on hand that needs to be used up such as cauliflower, [...]

Join us This week we are running another round of #freezertolunchbox 5 day challenge. This edition is all about hidden veggies so I'm keeping the theme going on the blog. If you missed the challenge and want to know when another is running sign up to our notification mailing list! I am slightly obsessed with a chocolate and avocado combo at the moment (can you believe I used to hate avocado?!). Putting them into a cake or biscuits like my Chocolate Avocado Biscuits (so good!) has really made me come around to avocados. I now love nothing more than a big bowl of guacamole! Anyway.... I'm rambling. Back to the [...]

Join us These are delicious! These berrylicious bliss balls come from my Ready. Steady. Lunch! Mini Cookbook (This book is jam packed full of lunchbox friendly goodies!). These have been so popular that I thought I would share them on the blog for everyone. They are lunchbox friendly, take no time at all and a hit with the kiddies. Better yet, they can be frozen so you can make a large batch over the weekend and freeze for weeks to come. Don’t forget to hang out with TRTLMT in all the cool places!  

Join us I am often asked for a banana bread recipe made of wholemeal flour. Up until recently I didn't have one but after some experimenting I think I finally have one that passes all teh tests - not too dry, lots of banana flavour and not overly sweet. Tick, tick, tick! Don’t forget to hang out with TRTLMT in all the cool places!
