Marshmallow Stuffed Chocolate Truffle Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

I have quite a long list of things I have baked and am yet to share with you (I’m sorry! The recipes are coming. Promise). So I have been trying not to bake these last couple of months as I work my way slowly through the list. But then occasions pop up. Dinners. Get togethers with friends. Birthdays, mostly. Now as a dessert blogger, and as a pastry chef, there … 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 →

Healthy Apple, Yogurt and Oat Breakfast Muffins

So I’ve put on a little weight recently. Just a few kilos. It’s actually bothering the heck out of me but I’m trying not to freak out about it. I have no idea how it happened. It couldn’t possibly be due to all the beer, cider, lychee martinis and white sangria (that stuff is amazing) that I have been drinking now that spring is here. Or it couldn’t be because … Continue reading →


Chunky Chocolate Oat Cookies

Sometimes you just need some good old, classic comfort. Whether its because its cold and rainy, you’re feeling unwell, or you’re just having a bad week, a bit of love and some familiar comfort food can make you feel a little better. This particular week was a pretty bad one. On top of the bad week, everything I tried to bake was just going wrong too. Do you believe that … Continue reading →


Anzac Biscuits

Today is Anzac Day. In Australia, that means a day off from school and from work for most people. So I thought I’d bake some Anzac biscuits to represent the day, and because its raining out and what better to do on a rainy day than bake? Anzac biscuits are a very popular rolled oat biscuit in Australia. The story goes that a similar, harder version of the Anzac biscuit … Continue reading →


Healthy Strawberry Breakfast Crumble

I fell so in love with this strawberry crumble, that I was inspired to make a healthier version. So I could eat it all the time. Because when I baked the original, I was eating it for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner, and I wanted to make one that I could happily eat for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner without feeling guilty. So this is what I came up with. … Continue reading →


Vanilla Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are so nice and simple. It’s easy to get swept away in Nutella cookie cups, cookies and cream bars and Oreo chocolate chunk cookies. These things are all super delicious, but sometimes it’s nice to get back down to basics. This is one of those times. Although these vanilla oatmeal cookies are simple, they are by no means boring. They are thick, soft and chewy. They have texture … Continue reading →


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

So there is a myth. The myth involves Neiman Marcus, some fantastic cookies and a really expensive recipe. I won’t go into it but you can read about the myth here. It’s not important really. What’s important is how good these cookies are. They are good. Very good. They have ground up oats inside, which does awesome things to the texture of these cookies. And it keeps them permanently chewy. … Continue reading →
