A Family Favourite - Easy Rocky Road Recipe | Art of Baking Since moving to Melbourne in early 2011 I’ve started running more and eating healthy. Whenever I return home to Hobart my mum (like all mums) goes slightly overboard preparing a variety of baked goods which I feel is more a secret tactic to make me put on weight. So much so that when she came to visit last weekend, she brought two lunch boxes full of baked goods. One of the delicious things she bakes is this super easy rocky road recipe. Today Rani and I took time off work as I picked up my new bike to commute to work on (much to my mum’s worry) and spent time photographing more baked goods for the Art of Baking. Between all of this we sat and enjoyed some home-made coffee and ate rocky road that I prepared the night before.

Coconut Balls Cette recette était déjà parue sur le blog, il y a un bout de temps, et je crois qu'elle mérite d'être mise à jour. Comme je le disais déjà dans le premier article, ces chocolats fourrés à la noix de coco ressemblent aux barres Bounty, en mieux. Sans matière grasse ajoutée, elles sont sans doute plus saines aussi. Le coeur compact, légèrement sucré, est enrobé de chocolat un peu amer, parce qu'à 70% (comme dans tous mes chocolats maison). Pour la réalisation, rien de bien compliqué. Pour le tempérage du chocolat, il vous faut un thermomètre - et je vous conseille de lire les articles ici et ici pour comprendre de quoi il s'agit. Boules coco Imprimer la recette pour environ 15 boules (comme sur la photo) - 300 ml de lait ENTIER - 50 g de sucre - 85g de poudre de noix de coco (noix coco sèche râpée) - 100g de chocolat noir de couverture idéalement mais sinon prenez du bon chocolat noir à 70% English Version The flavours are well balanced. To make them, nothing too complicated. Print Recipe

My Confession: Failed Attempts I will just come out and say it: a lot of things I try to make come out gross and end up in the trash. Not always the whole batch of whatever it is, since my family is kind enough to try. But when 8 of the 12 muffins I made a week ago still sit in the bag on the counter, I know it is time to dump them. As sad as that story is, it doesn’t really bother me. You see, I can’t eat pretty much anything I make because of my absurd amount of food allergies. So I see something online, adjust it a bit if I’d like, and then get my groove on in the kitchen. My family will always humor me and try it, but the majority of the time it is a fail. They are meant to be a dessert (aka, not eaten like a snack every day) and are not as sweet as the real thing. So, here is my take on the infamous Dark Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Yield: 5 PB Cups 3 Tbsp. coconut oil or butter6 Tbsp. natural cocoa1 Tbsp. honey (or maple syrup or other sweetener)1/4 t. vanilla5 tsp. natural peanut butter Nutrition Facts:

Made from BPA/BPS-free rigid plastic. What size jar do you have? getting organized- a whole month’s worth of meals via crockpot freezer cooking I have to admit, I am a little bit overwhelmed right now. May is normally a busy month for us (mother’s day plus Burke’s birthday, Keadryn’s birthday, Drew’s birthday, my brother’s birthday, & Adam’s mom’s birthday). Add in graduation (and the grad party of the century), Burke’s birthday party (an Angry Birds brunch this weekend), the graduation trip of a lifetime (Dubai, Greece and Turkey here we come!) and planning for a month’s worth of COLORFUL (wink, wink) goodness for the blog while we’re away, and life feels, well, overwhelming. My sweet friend Alicia posted about getting organized last month and I was inspired to follow suit. First stop in my “Get Organized” agenda- figure out meals. The best part is that, in crossing ‘figure out dinner’ off my daily task list, I free up an hour and a half or so each afternoon. Enough chatter- want to see exactly what I did? First I found five crock pot recipes (most of them have overlapping ingredients which made for easy shopping and chopping).
16 Foods That’ll Re-Grow from Kitchen Scraps By Andy Whiteley Co-Founder of Wake Up World Looking for a healthy way to get more from your garden? There’s nothing like eating your own home- grown vegies, and there are heaps of different foods that will re- grow from the scrap pieces that you’d normally throw out or put into your compost bin. It’s fun. Just remember … the quality of the “parent” vegetable scrap will help to determine the quality of the re-growth. Leeks, Scallions, Spring Onions and Fennel You can either use the white root end of a vegetable that you have already cut, or buy a handful of new vegetables to use specifically for growing. Simply place the white root end in a glass jar with a little water, and leave it in a sunny position. Lemongrass Lemongrass grows just like any other grass. Within a week or so, new growth will start to appear. Celery, Bok Choi, Romaine Lettuce & Cabbage Similar to leeks, these vegetables will re-grow from the white root end. Ginger Ginger is very easy to re-grow. Potatoes Garlic Onions Mushroom
