Chocolate Chip ‘Lunch Lady’ Bars

These are chocolate chip cookie bars that reminded Sherri over at Yum of the chocolate chip bars she used to have in her school cafeteria. Hence the name “Lunch Lady Bars”. In Australia, when I was in high school, there were no school cafeterias. Instead, we had canteens, where we lined up to buy awful things like hash browns, sausage rolls, meat pies or chocolate bars for lunch before going … Continue reading →

I totally loved these Oreo chocolate chunk cookies and I loved these cookies and cream cookies even more. YUM. Oreos + cookies = double cookie awesomeness. So when I saw this recipe on Picky Palate, … Continue reading →

Strawberries Baked in Kogel Mogel (Zabaglione)

For those of you who are regular readers, you will know that my mum’s side of the family are Polish and that we went to visit them at the end of last year. The food there was absolutely amazing. The dinners my uncle cooked. The desserts we all baked together. The pastries we bought at the bakery. Delicious, all of it. And I’ve been missing it, because the food here … Continue reading →

Nutella and Peanut Butter Oat Bars

I have been baking at work for the last few weeks. Coming in early and baking and icing the cupcakes. It has been so much fun! Baking is what I love to do and working in the kitchen side of things at work just feels right. The early starts are hard to get used to but they leave me with most of the afternoon and evening off, which I love. … Continue reading →

Lindor Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hands up if you like Lindt balls. Now hands up if you like chocolate chip cookies. Are both your hands up? Because mine totally are. Lindor are one of my absolute favourite chocolates. That smooth chocolate and that cool, melty filling… Yum. We had a lot of them leftover after Christmas, because we hang chocolates on the tree over here at my house. My younger brother sneaks them when no … Continue reading →

Polish Blueberry Cakes (Jagodzianki)

Today I am just sharing some photos with you. These little cakes are a traditional Polish pastry, called Jagodzianki (say ya-go-jan-ki). The name means blueberry cakes, or blueberry pastries. They are made from a basic Polish yeast dough and filled with blueberries. Most bakeries sell them, or some version of them, in Poland, but I have never had any as good as my mum’s. Bakeries tend to use blueberry jam … Continue reading →

Flourless Chocolate Hazelnut Mud Cake

Can you melt chocolate? Can you whisk batter? Can you turn on your oven? If you can do all those things, then you can totally make this cake. It is that easy. We used to make this recipe when I was a kid. A week or so ago my dad asked me if I remember this cake, and if we still had the recipe. After a lot of searching, I … Continue reading →

Thick Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

So I like to read. Like, I really like to read. Like, even when I come home drunk a little tipsy, I get into bed and open up my book and read a couple of pages. It’s habit. I have to do it. I usually read before bed. Because reading helps me go to sleep. I stop thinking about my day/life/blog/cookies and focus on the story in my book and … Continue reading →

This is my 100th post on my little blog! Yay! I thought I’d celebrate by sharing my favourite truffle recipe.

I’m a huge fan of these, and I’ve been making them since I was about 12. The … Continue reading →
