Chocolate chip, Cranberry & Walnut Sconies (Scones+Cookies=Sconies) … we l♥v them!
“Sometimes me think what is love, and then me think love is what last cookie is for. Me give up the last cookie for you.” Cookie Monster I love making cookies, and I love making scones. This time I decided to combine my love forthe two, using a recipe I turn to often. It’s one I use from Romney Steels cookbook My Nepenthe that was reviewed on Heidi’s beautiful blog 101 Cookbooks. These are the best I’ve ever made, and oh-so-accomodative. What I like about them is the ease with which the recipe embraces different ingredients. Had posted the scones over Christmas ‘Orange & Oat Scones‘. My nephew who was…

Mini Manqué Pear Cakes with Black Grape Compote
“There are only ten minutes in the life of a pear when it is perfect to eat.”Ralph Waldo Emerson Yesterday was a day I needed to bake. The morning wasn’t kind to me. Got up and the computer screen was dead as dead can be. Woke up the daughter and she was rather rude for something trivial … very uncalled for!! Then she decided not to have the breakfast I made.

BURGER-a-la-FALAFEL …. Chickpea Delight!
“The first wealth is health” Ralph Waldo Emerson Sitting here the other day I was thinking of what to make over the weekend. Having just signed up for Ten in 10 for eating healthy (read more vegetarian food), my foodie resolutions hung like a sword over my head. Have to look for more fun vegetarian options to feed the kids, the question was how to make it fun and healthy. I was thinking pita bread and falafel, but the kids were thinking burgers! Decided to meet half way through, and thought of falafel burgers. Hmmm, tweeted out sweet and affable Beth, a lady whose first love seems to be chickpeas,…

Apple, Cranberry & Praline Cake… and Ten in 10!!
“One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.” Thomas Fuller Here’s a fruity filled beginning to 2010, a year that’s already beginning to look good. The year that we just wrapped up was filled with goodness too, ever so satisfying. The high points being blogging with friends, Food Blogger Connect, Twitter and macarons! Who would have dreamt that life would change monumentally with a microapplication called Twitter?? I’ve made breakfast club pals, macaron pals, laundry club pals, dragon pals and even snail pals! Food blogging led to fabulous new friends, and some I was actually able to meet at the Food Blogger Connect! We exchanged gifts there, BIG…
