We go through bucket loads of milo in this house. Not only is it eaten on many things, it is also drunk in cold and hot drinks. I made Milo Balls and Milo Biscuits and have loved them both, and now we love milo cupcakes too. These milo cupcakes are delicious, especially when topped with condensed milk icing. To make condensed milk icing, beat butter, icing sugar and condensed milk together in a bowl. Spread ...

Pumpkin and Blueberry Bread

I had quite a few pumpkins, and was trying to decide how to use them all. I had already made a lot of pumpkin soup and pumpkin scones, so I was looking for something a bit different when I came across this Pumpkin and Blueberry Bread. Now, neither of our boys really like pumpkin that much and only one of them like blueberries, but can you guess which one loved this bread? Yep, the boy that doesn't like pumpkin and doesn't like ...

While doing the grocery shopping, I saw the sticky date puddings in the frozen section and thought that I since it was so long since I had made them, I should do it again. And, since R is starting to help out in the kitchen a lot more and this is such an easy recipe, I let him make it on his own. With this recipe, we made 12 individual puddings in our muffin tray. These moist sturdy date puddings can be served with caramel ...

Australia Day is coming up on the 26th January and we have been learning about this great South Land that we live in.

We made them in the shape of a Lamington Man. To make these lamington men, we first made a vanilla cake ...

Cinnamon Ripple Banana Cake

Banana cake is a favourite in our house and I am forever making it. I always make 3 or 4 at a time and freeze them, so when we want one, I just take it out of the freezer to defrost. Though, eating it cold on a hot summers day is quite cooling. When I found this recipe, I just knew I had to have a go. It is not much different from the normal banana cake, just the taste of cinnamon makes it delicious. I made the recipe ...
