RSS FeedI love banana breads. I first learned how to bake with banana breads. I love the idea you take something that has reached its due (overripe bananas) and then turn it into something even more delicious. I have made several banana breads in the past and with different recipes and I can’t say I was [...]

September 6th, 2012 Sharon This came up from an impromptu baking need. But alas, it didn’t last very long from the oven to the table. I have had this idea in my mind for quite some time and never got down to making it. It’s so easy, just 3 ingredients and a quick bake in the oven. I made [...]

August 31st, 2012 Sharon I was inspired to bake with apples recently after getting this quaint gift from a friend at a baby shower. It’s a hand-crocheted apple cosy (below). How cute is that? Of course the usual thoughts of pies and pastries came to mind but there is one recipe that I have been longing to improve for [...]

August 10th, 2012 Sharon Here was something I made for my home-group with all the chilli meat sauce left. This is a hefty finger-food dish so if you’re going to make it, make sure you have enough people to eat AND finish it.

March 28th, 2012 Sharon I had some buttermilk left from making the biscuits and gravy for the tea party, actually there was quite a lot left so one thing I’ve always wanted to try with buttermilk is to make buttermilk fried chicken. I haven’t set foot in KFC for a long time, not because I dislike fried chicken but [...]

March 18th, 2012 Sharon I adapted this recipe from Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Croissants, well…it isn’t really that much of an adaptation, more like some happy accident. I was trying to make croissants at first but it ended up looking more like crabs that has lost its pincers and legs. So I twisted the long ends on top into a [...]
