Hello there lovelies,

Guess what? Today I took a challenge and really challenged myself. (I think there was too many ‘challenge’s in that sentence…)

Today, I made caramel slice.

Best Pancakes Ever

I was talking to my friend the other day and I found out that she had never had pancakes made from scratch. Never ever… How is that even possible?! Pancakes are pretty much the food of my childhood. I have so many memories of my uncle standing in my kitchen making pancakes for us, getting half the batter all over the floor and bench top and me and my sisters wolfing them down at a much faster rate than he could produce them. I remember him teaching me how to flip pancakes properly – no spatula required. I remember making pancakes for family friends and one of them running around the dining table with a pancake on his head. I remember having competitions with my sisters over who could eat the most. I remember the first time I tasted a pancake with real maple syrup, not the maple-flavoured stuff. I also know that is just me, not everyone knows people that would wear a pancake as a hat but the point remains – everyone should make pancakes from scratch as least once. They are the easiest things to make, I promise. This recipe is for the novice of all novices – I have not assumed you know anything. Leggy – this recipe goes to you. :)

Three Ingredient Chocolate

Ciao lovelies!

Today, I have a fabulous recipe for you. It tastes great, it’s super quick, it only has three ingredients and it is easily customised to anybody’s tastes! Have I got you hooked yet? I hope so. If you were someone like me, who thought chocolate making was a long, difficult, complex process, think again! This recipe will have you impressing yourself, your family, your friends and pretty much anyway you give one of these chocolates too.

Pumpkin Chocolate Muffins

In case you hadn’t noticed, I love pumpkin. I love it in soup, pies, scones, smoothies and muffins. I especially like it in muffins when it is combined with chocolate. And so, I am proud to present my favourite muffins ever – my mum’s famous pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins. These muffins are so good that they will even be eaten by Freckles, who is notorious in our family for not touching anything with anything ‘odd’ in it (and pumpkin in muffins is definitely odd, according to her anyway). These muffins are the best muffins ever, I’m not even exaggerating. Chocolately, moist, dense, filling, pumpkin-y – they are sooooo good. So good that I have to share them with you and you have to make them!
