Today, I’m sharing an elegant and irresistible winter dessert that’s rich, warming, and just a little indulgent. Poached pears are often overlooked but they’re surprisingly simple to prepare and absolutely stunning when plated with a luscious chocolate sauce and a crunchy, nutty crumb. This is the kind of dessert that feels special enough for guests, yet easy enough to throw together on a cosy weeknight.

In Cape Town at this time of the year the weather keeps us on our toes – you never quite know what you’re going to get. Overall it’s milder, the days are sunny and the evenings are cooler (my idea of heaven)… with the odd scorcher, sudden downpour or balmy evening snuck in between. Basically, in this in-between season, we need to be ready for anything!

Last month I tried making frozen yoghurt bark for the first time. This light and refreshing snack could not be easier to make and I was so happy with the results. I also get very excited when I try something new and the kids love it (mom win!).

Let me start this post by saying that as parents I don’t think we need to be packing gourmet Pinterest-worthy lunchboxes every day, we are pressured enough as it is! However, I do think that variation and balance are important, and so the purpose of this post is simply to put lots of ideas out there so you can pick and choose the components that you think your children will enjoy and that are do-able in your home.

Ginger and dark chocolate snack bars

I had to play around with this recipe a few times to get it just right, and I’m so glad I persevered because these ginger and dark chocolate bars are absolutely delicious! They’re chewy and oaty with a tasty hint of ginger. The dark chocolate layer at the bottom finishes them off perfectly. I would definitely classify these as a treat snack, and they are rather lovely as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Home made nut butter is one of the easiest things to make, you can play around with add ins and you have full control over what goes into it. Peanuts, almonds and hazelnuts are my nut butter go-to’s, but lately I’ve been playing around with macadamia nut butter and created a recipe that is next level delicious, I’m obsessed!
