Panela and Ube
No, they’re not characters from a children’s story– although I am Slightly obsessed with Punch the Monkey this week. There’s something about him that is both sweet and sad, vulnerable and hopeful, banal and inspiring. He’s uniquely human, but also a monkey. It’s all very cute and very 2020s internet meme. Anyway, Panela and Ube…

It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year….
…nope not Christmas. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday of all time of the whole year. It’s not typically celebrated in Australia, but I love celebrating it. This year is no different. We (I) am hosting a Thanksgiving Potluck for a few American friends. I’m doing the turkey and corn casserole (and mash potatoes)everyone is…

The quickest year ever
I don’t know if it’s all the cookies or if time is actually moving faster, but this has been the quickest year ever. It’s November- NOVEMBER!!! I forgot to write last week because despite not working, I’ve actually been SUPER busy. Last week, I made the Gojuchang Cookies again and also Playdate Cookies from…

Are these the best yet?
I know I ask that question every week- but it’s because every week someone tells me that these cookies are “the best yet!” But this week’s are pretty good. Another Cookies and Crumbs success story- this time the Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have to say, it could be my new favourite cookie cookbook. Actually,…

A first time for everything
Firstly, apologies for the lateness of my post. I only realised as I was looking for THIS week’s cookies that I hadn’t written about LAST week’s cookies yet! So, here it goes, better late than never… This week, I did something I’ve never done before…. Asked Chat GPT for a recipe. I’m doing my best…

They can’t all be winners…
This week I attempted Anzac Biscuits from Some of My Best Friends Are Cookies… and well, I was disappointed by them. They were flat, and not great. I didn’t have enough coconut and I used dark brown sugar instead of just brown sugar, and I can honestly say they weren’t my best work. I mean,…

More boozy cookies, and yes, I take requests now
I am not a gluten-free girlie, however I totally respect that some people are. So when a trainer at my gym asked if I could make gluten-free cookies, of course I said yes. It also gave me the opportunity to test out one of my new birthday cookbooks- Cookies & Crumbs. It did NOT disappoint!…

Whiskey and Cookies…
Is the exact energy I’m bringing into my 45th trip around the sun. It’s my birthday this week. I do love my birthday- and the best thing about it being on a Wednesday, is I get to celebrate for two weekends- not just one. It’s been a good week of celebrations so far- a family…

Another week, another boozy cookie…
I’m not sure how I’ve gotten into the alcoholic cookie phase of baking but here we are yet again. I wanted to make these Tennesse Whiskey and Chocolate Chip cookies but we only had fancy whiskey in our liquor cabinet… and well, I didn’t want to risk the wrath of The Runner by using one…

Everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day…
…including the cookies. And we all know I LOVE a good theme! Last week I baked Guiness Chocolate Chip Cookies which were NOT as good as Nigella Lawson’s Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey’s frosting which is hands down, the all time best St Patrick’s Day dessert ever. But they were ok. I mean they weren’t…
