For loyal E&T followers, you might remember this gem from yonks ago. However, I recently whipped up a batch of these for a baby shower and everyone went nuts over them. THEY ARE SO GOOD. So, I’m just rehashing this recipe for you all so that you can once again drool at the amazingness of these cookies.…
I have a confession to make: I absolutely adore peppermint chocolate and anything minty really. For some reason I do not understand, friends often look at me funny when I’m at messina or any gelateria and I opt for choc-mint gelato. “But there are so many better flavours! Choc-mint is boring! YOU’RE boring!” Fine, I’m…
Tomorrow is hump day so in celebration of pre-hump day (it’s my blog, I can do what I want!) I’ve made something utterly delicious. Though PB and choccies are utterly delicious on their own, together, they make the most heavenly combination. Think Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. And how do you create an incredible peanut butter and…
Oh Joy the Baker, you’ve really done it this time. You’ve provided me with an easy recipe, that makes fabulously different and delicious cookies. What kind of cookies, I hear you ask? Well, they’re Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies. Sounds scrumptiously different, right? Sandwich and cookies? Mixed together? How is that possible!? Well dear readers, it…
As much as I love sugar, spice and all things nice, I often find myself in serious debates with the angel on my shoulder who constantly tells me that I need to eat more healthily. Most of the time I flick her off my shoulder and go hang with the devil on the other side who is…

I love food and I love cooking. You’re probably thinking ‘Duh, Ally, that’s why you have a food blog.’ Well, yes. What you’re thinking is correct. That’s why I have a food blog to share with you the things I love to make and bake. Yet more often than not I find myself skimping out…
I have a confession to make: in the past, when people told me they were vegetarians I would secretly laugh on the inside and be thinking ‘you poor, poor chicken, erm, I mean, tofu.’ I could never fathom how someone actively chose not to eat meat. I’d ask (knowing full well they couldn’t) “Can you…
Despite my best efforts to live a healthy lifestyle, my love of sweet treats and fine food always sabotages my good intentions (damnn you delicious fats and carbs!) Don’t get me wrong; there’s nothing wrong with indulging in life’s sweeter things every once and a while. But there comes a point where you have to step…
Baking for me is one massive stress reliever, so for the life of me I can not figure out why, when lately life has been just a tad (read: very) stressful, I haven’t been baking more. Oh yes, that’s it, time. That little thing that always seems so present, but continues to somehow elude us day after day. So,…
