Firm outside, soft inside. My two daughters are involved in Girl Guides. They are actually following my footsteps as I was in Girl Guides in my youth. The camps and activities we did were some of the best memories I have to this day. This Sunday is Father’s Day and the Girl Guide unit my…

Caramel Cookies
Taking ownership in the kitchen. The weekends is a great time to do fun things with the kids. I love to especially get them in involved in the kitchen. With two kids, it’s like two monkeys fighting. Who gets to sift, who gets to measure. It’s chaos. So last weekend I decided that each child…
Cake Mix Cookies
Baking in a rush. I was in the middle of doing dinner when two kids asked if we could bake some cookies. They wanted to have one after dinner for dessert. I decided to oblige. After all, my youngest asked with her puppy dog look she’s renowned for and my oldest said the word “please”….

Gingernut Cookies

Have been around for literally forever. Growing up, dad used to call these teeth breakers because they were so hard. That’s what was so wonderful about them….
Italian Biscotti
Biscotti… but not as you know it. Amazing how you discover a new recipe. I credit this recipe to a work colleague who recently brought baking to work. She had made a big batch of biscuits with her mum. They are recreating her grandma’s old handwritten recipes with the aim to make a printed cookbook…
