Blogger Bake Off - with Salt & Pepper.

I was approached by Salt & Pepper to take part in a bake off with a few other bloggers.  I wanted to pop up a couple of the simple recipes I used.
The first one was for a Crunchy Chocolate Granola. This recipe is for those mornings when you need something a little sweet to start your day.

 Details of the recipe here You can vote for this recipe on the Salt & Pepper Facebook page here The second recipe was the decadent Peanut Butter Choc Ripple Cake I made for Simon's birthday.

This cake doesn't so much have a recipe but more of a "how to put it together" you can find it here Obviously you can change the ice cream filling to your favourite  You can vote for this recipe here As you can read by my blurb, sweet always takes precedent over savoury here ;)

So  here are my fellow Bake Off Bloggers. Make sure you pop on over to the Salt & Pepper Facebook page and check out their delicious recipes too.

So what is your preference? Sweet or Savoury?

Merry Christmas, my wonderful friends.

Just popping in to wish you all a wonderful Christmas!

I hope you get to enjoy time surrounded by family & friends, delicious food, love and laughter and lots of relaxation and sunshine!

Well that is what I am counting on this Christmas :)

I'll be back in a couple of days to share my Christmas Day with you all and tell you what I got for my pressies.

Merry Christmas everyone!

A chance to meet some bloggy friends!

I was just over at Anna's blog at Lona de Anna and she is organising a high tea in Sydney at the QVB so we can meet our fellow bloggers!. How exciting! I really would love to meet some of my bloggy friends in the flesh. I feel like we share so much of ourselves with each other it would be nice to meet :)

Anna is thinking of late October/early November on either a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. More details to come once the guest list is finalised.

 I will be going so I hope to see some of you there! If you're interested just pop over to Anna's blog and let her know.
