All cereal would be awesome if it didn’t have dried fruit in it, I reckon. Sultanas and raisins ruin everything! Yep, I’m one of those people. You know, the ones who think a mocha choc-chip Hot Cross Bun is perfectly acceptable to eat at Easter, the ones who berate the local cafe staff for not mentioning on…

Homemade Face Wipes
I mentioned in my Baby Wipes post a little while ago that I have a totally separate container and recipe to use on Miss G’s face and hands. The main reason is that she likes to lick when I wipe her face, and that the essential oils that I use in the baby wipes aren’t…
Scarborough Fair Herb Mix
“Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme; Remember me to the one who lives there, For once she was a true love of mine” They say that variety can be the spice of life, but I reckon it’s the other way round. Spice (and herbs) are the variety of life, and…
Chocolate Mudcake with White Chocolate Ganache
Today’s post is about chocolate cake, and lots of it! I was asked to make a cake for CTO’s cousin Miss A’s confirmation by my sister-in-law, and my only guides from Miss A was that she likes chocolate and her favourite colours are blue and green. I did a Pinterest search for inspiration, and this…
Sweet Chilli Cream Cheese Dip
Is anybody else a big fan of those Chilli Philly pourovers? My CTO and I love them, but always have trouble getting a good chilli sauce/Philly ratio. We eat it out of the tub gradually and don’t actually tip it upside down like we’re supposed to, so we always have hardly any sauce at the…
Sweet Chilli Sauce
Everyone has a favourite condiment. If you asked me a few years ago, I would have said either mayonnaise or BBQ sauce, they went on almost everything! When my CTO and I moved to Singapore in early 2011, we found that every restaurant, food court and kopitiam served every meal with either ketchup or chilli…
One Bowl Chocolate Brownies
Ahh, brownies! The snack to eat when you want more than a biscuit yet don’t feel quite like eating a piece of cake. If you’ve been following my Facebook page, I’ve been promising to put up this recipe all week. Sorry it’s taken so long! I had an emergency dash to the dentist on Monday…
DIY Baby Wipes
If there is 1 thing that I have quickly learnt as a new mother, it’s that baby stuff can be so expensive. It’s not so much the big items like the cot and the pram; once you’ve bought them you’re good to go for a few years. I’m talking about the little everyday items like…
Coffee Maple Bacon Jam
Wow, my very first recipe post! It’s so very exciting! Squee! 😀 Today I want to share something that sounds absolutely crazy; Coffee Maple Bacon Jam. I’m a huge fan of onion jam and caramelised onions, and I do not need an excuse to add bacon to it! I came across this little gem from…
