Hands up, those in New Zealand (and those with New Zealand Relatives) who have gotten their hot little hands on some of the Limited Edition 'Jelly Tip' chocolate and bikkies? If not, go out and buy yourself a bar/packet or three... Right. Now. This stuff is special and I have sent my darling hubby out on a mercy dash on more than one occasion for some (because, you know - the baby wanted it)! One of my fondest memories as a child were Summer days spent at the beach, followed by a car ride … [Read more...]
Key Lime Pie
I first shared this recipe with you all just on a year ago and whilst I have tweaked it just a tad since then the essence of what I said is still there.

I also love that these occasions give me an excuse to try out new recipes and whip out some old faithful's as well. Lately I have been trying my … [Read more...]
Upside-down Plum Cake
Happy Friday Everyone! As you all know the last month has been a bit of a blur on the blogging front, truth be told as I was putting all my extra time, efforts and energy into the revamp of this little space. Now I know I have said it before and I am bound to say it again but I love how it has turned out and I am so excited to be getting back into the swing of things. Now a couple of weeks ago I was given a bag of plums from my Mother in Law. After eating some … [Read more...]
