INSPIRED BY MONSIEUR MCFRUGAL LEBOVITZ, I MADE SCONES!
“So often something like a cinnamon roll or a sticky bun is overpowering and very sweet. The subtle flavors of the scone tend to be something that our customers are really looking for.”Jamie Golladay I’m awfully sorry Mr Lebovitz, but the name Monsieur McFrugal still pops up in my mind each time I see your tweets, or read your posts. David Lebovitzs’ books are on my wishlist, and I was thrilled to find a recipe from another favourite author, Alice Medrich, on his blog. The White Chocolate & Sour Cherry Scones were inspired by an Alice Medrich recipe, an author I have come to love because of her innovative approach…

MIXED BERRY & NUT CLUSTERS….Cookies, Cake & CLICK
“If life is a bowl of cherries, then what am I doing in the pits?”Erma Bombeck Mixed Berry & Nut Clusters Aaaaaaaargh…it’s just another of those days when time begins to run out on you even before morning has nicely broken!! Day before was a busyish day. I made cookies out of dried berries & I made chocolate chocolate-chip muffins from Nigella’s recipe @ Food network…asking for trouble to tell you the truth! The muffins were not nice at all, so not worthy of being posted. Had my dear friend’s kids over from Ukraine, so then made chocolate morsel cookies too. The kids are complete chocolate addicts & will not…

IS IT A BAR, IS IT A COOKIE? Guess what…It’s a BAR COOKIE!
“In the nut, nothing is lost, except perhaps the noise it makes when breaking.” World Wide Walnut Pistachio, Cranberries & Golden Raisin Bars Was flipping pages of one of my favourite cookie books, ‘The Colossal Cookie Cookbook’, wondering what snack to make for the kids snack box for school. Thought I’d quickly do a batch of brownies, got the tin ready, lined it etc, & then had a change of heart. Wanted something other than chocolate…I like introducing them to as many flavours as possible, when they are still willing. Found something I liked the sound of… ‘Cranberry & Golden Raisin Bars’ hmmmmmmm. Passed a handful of golden raisins to…

HEALTHY DELICIOUS LIME CAKE…with whole wheat too!
“Good food is a celebration of life.”Sophia Loren HEALTHY ‘n’ DELICIOUS LIME CAKE…with whole wheat too! A day without baking is tough to pass. 3 days went by, and the symptoms began. The itch to get back & do something, bake anything..anything to turn the oven on again. My mantra…the only constant is change, a variant of Heraclitus’s Greek philosophy. One of the first things we were told when I had started working many years ago… the philosophy remains. So decided to try my recipe lemon cake again, with a healthier turn to it. Substituted some regular flour for whole-wheat flour & threw in some walnuts too. Disaster struck halfway…
