I have lots of dried fruit in the cupboard, and I'm trying to eat them in a different way each time I have some. The chocolate and raisin rock buns only used raisins, but I've used a variety of dried fruit in these bars. These little bars come packed with flavour and energy. Makes: 8Preparation...

It's been a while since we've had a sweet potato bowl, and since we still had another beetroot, I added that in too. I love nut butter and rice as it makes the rice so creamy and yummy.

I saw a YouTube video where someone made a cake using just Oreos. An Oreo flavoured cake? I was sold at that. But, it's a double win that you only need 3 ingredients to make it. The YouTuber baked the cake on the stove, which looked like I could mess that up too easily, so... Continue Reading →
Ok, this is the last pastry dish lined up for now, and we're ending it with something sweet! I decided on two different fruits for these tarts as I'm taking a long time to get through some frozen raspberries and I had some kiwis that were probably too soft to just eat, so it was...
