Pomegranate Chicken Wings

Pomegranate Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are among my favourite appetisers or party food.  They can be made in so many different ways and they always taste delicious.  I love mine baked, but because I coat them in a little bit of flour and bake them for a long time, the skin becomes as crunchy as if they were fried, sans…

Broken Glass Cupcakes

Happy Halloween everyone!  I cannot believe it’s the end of October already!  This year has just flown!  Even though I haven’t experienced this holiday while growing up, I always get excited about it.  My kids love this day and we will be going trick or treating in our area, just like last year and the…

Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies

My girls are home for their spring holidays… a much needed break for everyone before the beginning of the last term of this school year.  I cannot believe that my eldest daughter will soon be in year 2 and that my baby will start kindergarten in just a few short months!  During the holidays we…

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

Don’t you just love a good cheesecake?  I certainly do!  I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake.  The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the…

Sweet Popcorn Snowballs

Sweet Popcorn Snowballs

I made these Sweet Popcorn Snowballs as part of the menu for my daughter’s 7th birthday party.  As the theme was Frozen, I thought having edible snowballs would be a fun idea.  These are easy to make and look quite nice.  You can make them for a winter themed buffet or save the recipe for…

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

A couple of months ago, I shared with you the recipe for some amazing Coconut Cookies.  I had got that recipe as part of my monthly Secret Recipe Club assignment.  While deciding on what recipe to make, I had also bookmarked today’s recipe and as I just could not get it out of my head,…

Maple and Sriracha Chicken Wings #SundaySupper

Today’s post is all about “man food”.  In honour of Father’s Day, this week’s Sunday Supper event is about recipes for food that men love to eat.  To tell you the truth, it’s not Father’s Day here in Australia (we celebrate it in September), nor it is Father’s Day in Italy (that’s on June 19th –…

Salted Caramel Popcorn

Salted Caramel Popcorn

I only recently discovered salted caramel popcorn.  My husband bought a box of them from Costco for the birthday party of one of our daughters and I was quite sceptical about them at first.  But that only lasted till the first bite.  OMG, how could I have doubted these would taste so good?  In fact,…

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn’t love Chocolate Chip Cookies??  I fell in love with them at 17, when I visited the States for the first time… I had never eaten them before.  Cookies in Italy were different: crunchy and delicious, but different.  The Chocolate Chip Cookies I had in the US were chewy and sugary and oh so…

Margarita Chicken Wings

Margarita Chicken Wings

In the recent couple of years I have come to LOVE eating chicken wings.  They are really not something Italians eat a lot of.  I mean, we do eat them when we cook a whole chicken and we use them a lot to make chicken broth, but they are not an appetiser kind of food…

Super Bowl Recipe Roundup

Super Bowl Recipe Roundup

Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer. I am no football fan.  In fact, I have never seen a whole match. I do however follow soccer and when it comes to cheering for your favourite…

MINI CARROT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

I always make cupcakes for my kids birthday parties as I love how festive they look and kids always devour them!  As my youngest daughter’s birthday party was all about Miffy (and bunnies), I thought of making carrot cupcakes in the hope of keeping things on the “healthy side” (well… at least they did have…

Chocolate. Cheesecake. Brownies.  Yes, you read that right.  They are 3 treats that I love on their own, so when I saw this recipe over at my friend Lizzy’s That Skinny Chick Can Bake! I knew these brownies would taste amazing.  How awesome is it to combine three scrumptious desserts into one??  What you get…
