Blueberry Pie

Erich wants, Erich gets. This pie is the answer to the question “what shall I do with the blueberries in the freezer?” It was simply delicious. Max and I couldn’t even wait until it had cooled down and I could just about stop myself from getting the vanilla ice cream out.

Homemade Fruit Jelly Treats

I got this idea from Pinterest and we love it. It's such a great alternative to gummy bears. I can imagine that these little delicious cubes would also be lovely in fresh iced tea with mint or even with a glass of bubbly for the grownups. Or... maybe even with cheese on a skewer?

Chocolate Pudding with Bananas

It's so quick and delicious one just can't resist. I don't know how many times Erich has asked me to cook this, sometimes late in the evening. It probably doesn’t sound very healthy but containing milk, bananas and cocoa it’s actually quite a nutritious treat for growing kids and grown-ups.

Traditional Apfelstrudel

Erich’s favourite Austrian dessert. There's not really anything new here for my friends at home. However, I thought I’ll post it anyway because it’s just such a delicious and healthy treat. To all my non-Austrian friends out there, you really must try this, it's easier than it looks!

Upside-down Apple Tart (Tarte Tartin)

It’s just as quickly done as it will be eaten. Let the kids help. It’s great fun to put the apple slices on the pastry and watch mummy (or daddy) flipping over the finished cake.

Seriously Good Banana & Blueberry Muffins

Here’s another really easy and healthy blueberry muffin recipe. They are very moist and delicious with a crunchy crust and make a great breakfast, healthy snack or dessert.

Baked Apples with Vanilla Ice Cream

Definitely one of our family favourites this winter. I love it when the flat is filled with this lovely warm Christmassy scent of apples and cinnamon. And when Max is sitting in front of the oven to wait for his favourite winter treat.

Apple & Buttermilk Pancakes

If breakfast, snack or dinner, delicious pancakes with a glass of milk are always a great sweet but nutritious treat! Bump is quite big now and with only two weeks to go I'll have to try relax a bit and let grandma take care of the cooking. So watch the space for grannies favourites. I'm looking forward to it!

Super Berry Ice Cream Pops

One of your five-a-day! Using frozen berries is cheaper and will allow your ice cream pops to freeze quicker. We can't get enough of them and there's so much room for creativity. Watch this space!

Piña Colada Trifle

A great summer dessert. I just had to grab one of those super sweet pineapples. Of course, it would have been delicious on its own but I was just in the mood for something a bit more exciting. And it’s super healthy too!

Apple & Banana Bran Muffins

A muffin can’t get any healthier. This one is really moist and it tastes great too. Honestly, we had it as an afternoon snack and again for breakfast... for 3 days!! And everyone was happy.

Danish Buttermilk Soup

"kammerjunkere und koldskal"  Don’t ask me how to pronounce this. My friend Ingrid sent me this great buttermilk recipe. It’s a simple and delicious idea for breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert. I really do recommend baking the biscuits but you can also use all butter biscuits if time is precious.

Mango Pudding

Jelly on a plate!! How wonderful and light.
It took me a while to get this right but I think I’m nearly there.

Beetroot & Chocolate Cake

I borrowed this book in the library called “Have your cake and eat it too” by Sally Bee. I fell in love with this cake because it’s such an unusual combination. The earthy taste of beetroot combined goes really well with dark chocolate, have a go and see for yourself!

Fruity Chocolate Sandwich

A light chocolate treat with plenty of fruit.

Easy Blueberry Muffins

I don’t know how long I’d been looking for an easy Blueberry muffin recipe before I came across this one. And the best thing about it is that I don’t have to feel guilty eating it!
