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 →

Cookie Butter Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

So I have mentioned briefly here and here that the lovely Maura from My Healthy ‘Ohana recently sent me an amazing package of yummy food from all the way over in Hawaii! The whole thing started a couple of months ago now, when I was drooling over a pumpkin bread recipe of hers and wishing I had me some canned pumpkin. So Maura, being so lovely, offered to send me … Continue reading →

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Alright. So I am impatient. Completely and utterly. I don’t have patience for bad drivers. Or slow drivers. Or for traffic. I don’t have patience for idiots. Or annoying customers. Or people who want to waste my time. I don’t have patience while waiting for buses. Or for photos to upload when I’m blogging. Or for watching commercials. I don’t have patience for long, drawn-out baking processes. And I don’t … Continue reading →


Nutella Swirled Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes in life, we make big deals out of small things. Small deals get blown out of proportion and turned into super big issues. Sometimes, it’s when you’re fighting with someone (typically a partner), and the smallest issue turns into a three day fight. All I’ll say about that is how. freaking. boring. Sometimes, it’s when you’re stressing out about a potential problem, something that could possibly happen, a “what … Continue reading →


Peanut Butter and Banana Healthy Breakfast Muffins

So I cannot sit still. I am incapable. Like, I think I may actually have a problem. I am incapable of simply doing nothing. And I am addicted to technology. I cannot just be. I have to be doing, all the time. And it’s becoming ridiculous. Picture this: Tuesday night. Girl on couch. Watching Suits on TV and drooling over Harvey. Laptop on knees. Blog, Facebook, Foodgawker, Pinterest, email, recipes … Continue reading →


Double Fudge Cookie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Smashed Cookies

So I just went for a run. Well it was more like a walk/run. But it’s still a pretty big deal. Because I haven’t been for a run since like, 2010. Not even kidding. Once upon a time, I was one of those weird people who was addicted to the gym. The story goes that when I finished high school I lived in Europe for a year. I spent most … Continue reading →


Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am in Poland at the moment and I love it! I just spent a few days in Warsaw visiting my grandma and now we are in a little village where my mum grew up, hanging out with the whole family and eating! Expect a post about Polish pastries soon. Before I left Melbourne, I bought myself a new camera. It is a Canon 550D (Rebel T2i) and I am … Continue reading →


Nutella and Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

I clearly have chocolate chip cookies on the brain. We all know I am obsessed with them. Now that we have accepted that fact, lets move on. I really loved these chocolate chip cookie pots because they baked up thicker chocolate chip cookies. The thicker the cookies, the chewier and the gooeyer they are. Yum. So when I saw a similar idea for Nutella cookie cups on Barbara Bakes , … Continue reading →


Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

I can’t get enough of anything that involves chocolate chips and dough. I could eat chocolate chip cookies everyday. I feel like eating them everyday. Which means I think about them everyday (this can’t be a good thing?). After we baked these this afternoon my boyfriend asked me, “Natasha, if they were calorie free, would you just sit down with a fork and eat that whole tray?”. What kind of … Continue reading →


Salted Chocolate Shortbread

There were a bunch of things I wanted to bake yesterday. I couldn’t decide between two of them. So I decided to bake both! I went into the kitchen, pulled out the heavy stand mixer, got out all my ingredients and went to the fridge to get some eggs. And there were no eggs. Something you may not know about me is that I’m pretty lazy. I’d rather not bake … Continue reading →
