Toblerone Blondie

Creating the best of both with blondie bars with yummy chunks on dark chocolate Toblerone makes for a perfect treat, these bars super indulgent but then I think most blondies are. 

This is like the ting-yang of bars with white chocolate blondie and dark chocolate is almost as good as a brownie with white chocolate chunks!

Eggless Crepe Pancakes

Crepe pancakes are just yummy – specially when you can make them eggless but yet your super picky husband hasn’t even realised. :)

Traditionally eaten with sugar and lemon or orange juice, however I tend to mix it up with fruit and fresh cream too, and maybe even a quick spread of nutella. 

I don’t think crepes are a breakfast thing, as you can have them anytime. Well we went skiing for Easter…

Pavlova Berry Sundae

When you fancy a creamy, textured, sweet and tart berry compote with crisp meringue pieces is like heaven in glass! When it’s this simple to make, you gotta make them more often.

We ended up having…
