Over these past 2 months, the MM family have packed up our flat and moved to another condominium. This meant less focus on cooking and more on packing/unpacking! To keep my mind (and fingers) busy in the evenings, I picked up a new hobby; loom knitting. What is loom knitting, you ask? It’s no-needles-knitting; instead…

Broken Bikkie Fudge
I have a biscuit barrel in my pantry that is reserved just for the dregs of the bikkie world. I’m talking about the last 2-3 stale biscuits in the packet that everyone decided they didn’t like, or that solo broken cookie that nobody wants to touch, or those final 3 Tiny Teddies that your child…
Kit Kat Crunch Fudge
One of my local cheapie shops has a great selection of sweet stuff, and recently they’ve had out a big range of different Kit Kats. Normal, Chunky, mint, orange, green tea, and all shades in between; it’s Kit Kat heaven. And best of all, it’s all cheap! What else am I to do but make…

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…
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…
