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!
I’ve been so looking forward to this Easter weekend and a chance to slow down, catch my breath for a few days and enjoy time with my family. We’re keeping things very simple this year without all the fuss and frills, but there will still be plenty of treats to enjoy. I decided to put together a round up of decadent Easter dishes that you can make over the coming weekend.
Easter is around the corner and I decided to give one of my favourite bread dough recipes a chocolate twist for the occasion. This brioche dough is enriched with milk, egg and butter making it extra delicious and soft. It’s really easy to work with and utterly divine to eat!
BOO! It’s Halloween tomorrow, and kiddies all around are looking forward to the big day! My kids are putting the finishing touches on their costumes and planning their walking route around the neighbourhood, it really is lovely to see them so excited. This latest recipe is a Halloween treat that kids, both young and old, can get behind!
These clouds of sweet deliciousness have a crisp shell but will melt in your mouth. For a change I tried making these meringues with muscovado sugar instead of castor sugar as I usually do. I love using muscovado sugar in my baking because of the wonderful caramel flavour it adds and so I was keen to see how it would work in a batch of meringues – they turned out great!
What happens when you take a family childhood cookie recipe and give it a Nutella update? Chocolatey magic, that’s what! Thumb cookies are such a nostalgic bake for me, usually flavoured with almond essence and filled with sticky apricot or strawberry jam. We made and enjoyed them often as kids, and when I taught my own children how to make them they loved them too. Such fun to make!
When I was going through my calendar yesterday I realised that the Easter weekend is only a month away! So this week is definitely a good time to share this quick and easy treat with a chocolatey Easter twist.
