I made this Cookies and Cream Fudge to give to friends as part of this year’s Christmas hamper. It is so easy to make and it tastes amazing. My husband is a huge fan of Cookies and Cream anything, so he was over the moon when I made it. But he wasn’t the only one…
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
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…

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,…
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
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
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…

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE BROWNIES
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…

HOME-MADE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE
This is another one of those items that is commonly found in North American stores, but is very hard to come by anywhere else in the world, Sydney included. Luckily, this pumpkin pie spice mix is easy to make and calls for “international” spices, so it can be made at home no matter where you…
