It's still mostly stuck to the bottom of the pan as … [Read more...]
#CookitBlogit – Peanut Butter and Nutella Brownies….
I bet you didn't know it was World Nutella Day on Tuesday did you? Seeing as it is, I decided it would be rude not to blog one of my favourite Nutella recipes and link it up to #CookitBlogit, which is the weekly recipe linky that Emma from Crazy with Twins and myself started last week. You can link up your recipe by popping over to Emma's blog and while you're there, you can check out the delicious looking pie that she's made this week!I'm pretty sure that World Nutella Day isn't an official holiday so we won't get the day off work or anything but least it's an excuse to eat Nutella (if … [Read more...]
Easy Coconut and Lime Marmalade muffins….
I like to bake every Sunday to make sure that we have enough treats for our packed lunches through the week. I usually make something like packed lunch cake or some sort of muffins using my tried and tested muffin recipe but today I had some coconut milk to use up so I decided to pair it with some lime marmalade that's been in my fridge for what seems like forever and make some lime and coconut muffins!You can use any marmalade or jam (and probably even chocolate spread or peanut butter with this recipe but you might need to substitute the coconut milk with normal milk depending on what … [Read more...]
What to do with your leftover Christmas chocolate….
If you're house is anything like ours, leftover chocolate is about as rare as left over wine for most of the year. But around this time every year (and again at Easter) we seem to have masses of it!Our favourite way to use up any leftover chocolate is to melt it all together in a bowl, add some plates of chopped fruit, some marshmallows and maybe some cookies and give everyone a kebab skewer (or a fork) and away you go.This is easily the easiest to make and funnest to eat (not a word I know) pudding that I know....I don't like to brag but I *may* possibly have secured the Mother … [Read more...]
Chocolate Gingerbread Christmas trees….
We didn't get around to make a Gingerbread house this year which is a shame as we loved making last years but we did make something almost as good this morning - Chocolate Gingerbread Christmas trees!Miss Frugal had great fun making the biscuits and kneading the dough and then Master Frugal had even more fun icing them!They smell and taste delicious and would be great hung on the Christmas tree if only I'd remembered to poke little holes in the top before I cooked them.Chocolate Gingerbread Christmas trees 125g butter 85g brown sugar 1 egg yolk 4 tablespoons golden … [Read more...]
Cupcake Sunday – Chocolate Cinnamon Cakes….
Nothing too complicated from us here today, we've been too busy decorating and building furniture....In fact today's recipe is so simple you could probably make it with your eyes shut, it's a recipe that I use over and over but with a teeny tweak to make a yummy chocolate cake into a winter warmer chocolate cake.Chocolate Cinnamon Cupcakes 150g butter or margarine 150g sugar 3 eggs 125g self raising flour 35g cocoa powder 2 heaped teaspoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon of milk A few drops of vanilla essenceCream the sugar and the butter together. Beat the eggs, milk and … [Read more...]
