Sweet Things

I really love my desserts, maybe a bit too much, and of course the kids are big fans too!

I have sweet treats from all over the world here.  Some are Australian classics like my Anzac biscuits, or tasty treats from the UK such as my Mary Barry lemon drizzle cake.  Lots of USA classics here for you to enjoy as well.  Dig in and enjoy!

Chocolate Brownie Recipe

An easy, chewy chocolate brownie recipe that everybody in the house will love! My kids & I tend to make these super-easy brownies late on a Sunday afternoon so we can have a lovely warm slice as an after dinner treat, and can also add a slice to school and work lunchboxes for the week ahead.

christmas pudding

Rich Christmas Pudding

Here is a fantastically festive Christmas pudding recipe that you can use for boiled pudding, steamed pudding or even individual mini puddings.  The puddings can be made up to three (3) months ahead of time and kept in the fridge, or can be made up to twelve (12) months ahead of time and frozen.  Merry Christmas!
Another Christmas classic in our house is a delicious eggnog smoothie recipe made with frozen bananas.  Another great banana recipe is this self rising flour banana bread that everybody loves. This one won’t keep long, especially compared to this pudding, but it never hangs around long in our house
