This year I’m trying five recipes for Christmas – all delicious, easy to make, festive and gluten free! I started with some Coconut & Amarula Snowballs and a Gluten-free Apple Crumble, before being inspired to make this crème brûlée from Taste of Home. Although I chose some “easy to make” recipes, this one required a… Continue reading Bake with Me for Christmas | Blueberry Crème Brûlée

I am so happy to be sharing all the bling I earned in 2022!

In the first quarter of 2022… Continue reading What ‘Bling’ Did I EARN in 2022? | Part 2

But I had such an enjoyable time with the family, and nothing said Christmas like the aroma of freshly baked goodies… Continue reading Bake with Me for Christmas | Coconut & Amarula Desert Balls

One of my goals for 2022 was to run in 15 new places – it was certainly a big ask but there was a point I really thought I’d make it! Unfortunately, I fell slightly short of this goal – *only* managing 11 new places. But I still think this is a pretty awesome achievement,… Continue reading I Ran in 11 New Places in 2022!

I’ve had a crazy couple of months; and I’m really looking forward to my last day at work so I can find some time and space to evaluate the year – I know a lot didn’t go according to plan, but I also know a lot of good stuff happened. But right now, it all… Continue reading Let’s Go Shopping For Funky Pants!
