Caramelised Onion Dip

Join us I absolutely love dip! Nothing  beats a dip and cheese night with friends but Im struggling to find good store bought dips these days. I tend to make most of our dips with the help of the Thermomix. Making it yourself takes no time at all, often cheaper and you know exactly what is in it. Win, win, win. This is my Caramelised Onion Dip which is a delicious variation of my Bacon and Onion Dip. It a nice twist on traditional french onion dip that I know so many of us love. My other dip recipes: Bacon and Onion Dip Roasted Capsicum Dip Cheese and Bacon Cobb [...]

Indian Inspired Sweet Potato, Spinach and Lentil Stew

Join us This delicious recipe comes from the brand new issues of The 4 Blades Magazine - The Dinners Issue.  I created this recipe for our Soups and Stews section of The Dinners Issue which launched July 1st. Oh boy is this a delicious stew. It has a subtle curry flavour, a slight sweetness and a delicious subtle coconut flavour. This was a complete fluke and oh boy is it delicious and is a regular in our house now. It may look very basic (and even unappetizing) but the flavour is delicious! To add meat to this dish, you can add a diced chicken breast to the basket then place [...]

Apple Cinnamon Pikelets

Join us We loooooooooove pikelets in our houses so when I realised the freezer was empty and there were no more lunchbox snacks left I thought I would get cooking. Our fruit bowl was overflowing with apples so I thought why not whip up a batch of apple cinnamon pikelets. Anything with apple and/or cinnamon is always a winner in our house. These make for a great breakfast as well served with a little honey but they make for an even better dessert topped with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

Glazed Donuts

Join us Last week I posted my Banana Cinnamon Donuts. Since then I have had people asking if I had a glazed donuts recipe. I sure do! It uses my Cinnamon Donut recipe as a base. These are really fun to whip up for a party and I find due to the glaze coating  they last a little longer than the traditional cinnamon donuts so they are great to whip up the night before (we all love a good make ahead recipe!). Don’t forget to hang out with TRTLMT in all the cool places!
