Double Chocolate Chip, Espresso, Coconut Hot Cross Buns

So I have a confession to make. I wasn’t going to share a hot cross bun recipe with you this year. I made you some Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns (my faves!) last Easter. This year, I was going to make you something a little different (and I’m working on it, so if all goes to plan, you’ll be getting those tomorrow). Anyway, so I wasn’t going to share another … Continue reading →

Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns

Only one more week until Easter! Last Easter, I was absolutely obsessed, OBSESSED, with hot cross buns. Not the traditional kind, however, with all the dried fruit and candied peel and all those gross things. The chocolate chip kind of hot cross buns.

Baked Artichoke Dip with Homemade Croutons

As much as I love sweets and pastry and pies and cookies, I love savoury food. I don’t really like cooking though, so when I make savoury dishes they are usually quite simple.

A few glasses of wine and some crackers or these … Continue reading →

Not plain bread, but flavored bread, bread with bits of things in it, sweet breads or bread lightly toasted … Continue reading →

Golden Northern Cornbread

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you would be aware that not long ago I attempted a vegan and gluten free cornbread from BabyCakes. Unfortunately, it was a complete failure.  Since then, I have been determined to find the perfect cornbread recipe. I wanted a cornbread that is moist, light, slightly sweet and baked in a loaf pan like a banana cake. I wanted to toast it … Continue reading →

Vegan, Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

I have a criminology exam tomorrow and my favourite pastime has become procrastination. I take days off work, don’t make any plans with friends and tell my boyfriend I’m unavailable, all so that I can stay home and study. And stay home I do, but I come up with any excuse not to study. Having a shower, watching Ellen, walking or playing with the puppy and baking are common ones. … Continue reading →
