Ooh, this is such a good one! Who wouldn't want to devour a batch of homemade chocolate digestives bickies for afternoon tea? Me, that's who! I first started tinkering around with this recipe when I discovered that our beloved McVities chocolate digestives contained...
I love the word 'healthy-ish'. It implies that while you might not be getting things 100% right, at least you're trying. Which pretty much sums up a post about making lunchbox biscuits. Look, a kid has got to eat something. While I applaud the parents whose children...
In my mind, these chia biscuits are known as Olsac bickies. If linseed, sunflower seeds and almonds can get an LSA moniker, then surely my chia biscuits can be called Olsacs. Whatever we call them (and, let's face it, Olsac is never going to be a thing), these oat...
I'll admit I have a tendency to get a bit gushy about a good biscuit, but these are lit-er-ally (as my tween says 127 times a day) the BEST peanut butter biscuits, bar none. The caps are needed. I almost called them the "BEST peanut butter biscuits EVER", but even I...
I made these quick chocolate biscuits this week and I reckon I'll be making them again and again. I modified a recipe from an old cookbook to arrive at something reasonably nutritious. As nutritious as a choccy bickie can be, anyway! What I've ended up with is a quick...
It's very possible that back in the day, your Gran made a version of these cornflake cookies. No doubt she made them petite-sized so you were allowed to eat three, and served them up with a big glass of milk. Some recipes just stand the test of time. Mind you, your...
Right now, pumpkin is not in season, so you might be wondering why I'm sharing this pumpkin rock cake recipe. Firstly, it's just so yummy that I can't wait for Autumn. And secondly, you can actually make these pumpkin rock cakes very un-pumpkiny by substituting other...
I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm really old-school when it comes to recipes. I like the granny recipes like these honey biscuits more than anything. Recipes that have been made hundreds of thousands of times over the years by thousands of people. The kind of...
My absolute favourite cookbook right now is Sophie Hansen's A Basket By the Door. If you haven't picked up a copy of this gem, snag one immediately. Even if you never make these beautiful golden syrup biscuits, or the apple, fennel and pork sausage rolls or a batch of...
My Italian mother-in-law Maria (FYI 99% of Italian mothers-in-law are called Maria), makes a mighty fine biscuit. She generally has a batch of easy Italian biscuits coming out of the oven on any given day. And by 'batch' I mean around 200 biscotti. Marias don't do...
I've fallen so far behind in everything in life (I know you've been there). I was supposed to introduce you to this marvellous apple and blackberry pie from Sophie Hanson's new book at least a month ago. Yet here we are. Don't let my delayed introduction put you off...
If you're in the middle of your HSC (or equivalent) and you're already searching for 'different ways to get into uni not ATAR', I get ya! We're in the weeds of year 12 at the moment, with my eldest muddling through. I say muddling deliberately because he isn't the...
So here we are. My son turns 18 very soon. EIGHTEEN! It feels bitter sweet, but mostly bitter. I see him there, this child about to be thrust into adulthood. He is six foot six, broad and big boned - incontestably a total unit. Larger than life and full of unstoppable...
