First of all, I apologize for the lack of posting! Last week I said I was going to post about something exciting that happened to me, but I never got around to it because I was struck down by one of the most awful illnesses I have yet experienced. Read more
One of the most extraordinary things happened to me last Friday. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into how exactly I’m going to tell you about it and I’m not ready to share the news just yet (and no, I’m not pregnant!). Read more
Can you believe Halloween is just around the corner? It certainly doesn’t feel like it’s been a full one year since the last one. I could swear that time is speeding up. Just for the time it takes you to read this post, I’d like to take you back in time to last year’s Halloween. Read more
Sausage rolls are one of the Aussie staples that I missed while living in the US. I’m not sure why they haven’t caught on in the US, but you can find sausage rolls anywhere here in Australia. Read more
This past Saturday was the “Mad Hatter” Food Bloggers’ Picnic in Sydney & Melbourne. I have no idea how the one in Melbourne went, but I can tell you all about the one in Sydney! Read more
My family and I have lived in our house for nearly 19 months now, but we’ve never actually lived here in Spring. Read more
I’ve made brioche before, and I’ve made cinnamon rolls before. But I’ve never made brioche cinnamon rolls. I’m so proud of myself for this one – I did a really fantastic job on these. Read more

If I had it my way, I’d drink multiple cups of coffee a day. I know it’s not a great idea to do this, so I limit myself to two cups a day (maybe three if I feel like I deserve it). Hot coffees are great in winter for warming up, but now that the days are getting hotter here in Sydney the last thing I want is a hot beverage. An iced drink will hit the spot much better than a hot one. Enter the iced coffee.

Dear peanut butter fiends, as if you needed another reason to love peanut butter! I am going to show you something so deliciously peanut buttery and chocolatey that you just may explode!

Just to get your attention, I’m going to say first off that if you love Italian comfort-style food, you’re going to love this recipe for chilli, mushroom and chorizo pasta. It comes from MasterChef Australia magazine, issue #5, and is a creation of former MasterChef Australia contestant Aaron Harvie. I have to admit that while watching this season’s MasterChef, Aaron was not one of my top favorites, especially when Marion lost to him over the satay sauce! However, the recipe he included in this month’s MasterChef magazine makes me realize that Aaron isn’t actually that bad. His food dream is to open a pasta bar, so he gets all my good luck and respect because I just love pasta.
Aaron states in the description of this particular recipe that this is a great pasta to curl up on the couch with for a night at home (I totally agree). His inspiration comes from his local deli’s “amazing” Portuguese chorizo.

Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before. I also love no-bake pies and tarts, not only because they’re easy, but they’re cold and taste great on summer days. True, it’s not summer quite yet in Australia, but it’s getting there.
