Cranberry Hot Cross Buns
Peanut Butter Cup Cakes
Since my last experiment with peanut butter, the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, I haven’t been able to resist eating the stuff. Its an addiction, I’ve been eating it on toast morning, noon and night, taking spoonfuls of the stuff straight from the jar. I have even started stirring it through curries, which if you have never done you really must try it, its simply delish. So to deliver on a promise I made to you, to start baking with more peanut butter (well thats what I’m telling myself, definitely not to satisfy my cravings), I have come up with these peanut butter cup cakes. To take the peanut taste a little further, I have topped them with a crunchy amber peanut brittle. So if you need a nutty sugary fix these are simply perfect.
Guinness Stew
Happy St Patricks Day everyone! Whats more Irish than Guinness, ok maybe four leaf clovers and leprechauns, which are really hard to find, and I could hardly cook them, could I?
Now I was never a lover of stews (casseroles). I think I have childhood memories of eating to much of the stuff. I’m sure all New Zealand Children grow up eating stews. Well it really is a good hearty meal, and because of the climate, well what better meal to cook on a cold winters night.
