Jack-o-Lantern Slice and Bake cookies

Jack-o-Lantern Slice and Bake cookies

This is a bit of a project, but, you do all the decorating before you bake, and it feels a bit magic to make a slice and bake cookie with a design in the dough at home. It doesn’t all have to be done in one day, you can spread out assembling the dough rolls over a couple sessions.

Pan Tomate (Tomato Bread)

Pan Tomate (Tomato Bread)

One of my favourite foods. My mind was blown when I saw it served at our hotel breakfast buffet on our last trip to Spain. I struggled to make it using the traditional catalunya method and then discovered how I’m sure they do it in the restaurants.

Walkin’ Biscuits (Cookies)

Walkin’ Biscuits (Cookies)

Low sugar healthier snack cookies that are thankfully quick and easy to make because they quickly go missing. Based on the recipe from Yummy Toddler Food – this is a really forgiving recipe and very adaptable. Includes a chocolate variation. nom.

Fancy Toddler Crackers

Fancy Toddler Crackers

A fancier take on the simple toddler cracker recipe, with just a couple bonus ingredients that you do. They do have a slightly nicer flavour, but are not quite as simple, just due to how many ingredients involved, so I don’t make them quite as often.

Miso Nuts

Miso Nuts

A craving and some detective work lead to this recipe. Sweet, salty, bright with citrus and ginger, but with depth from miso and sesame oil. A moreish snack that feels healthy enough.

Chocolate Chia Pudding

Chocolate Chia Pudding

Chia seeds are a great shortcut to pudding deserts, yogurt of any type with live cultures gives you a bonus point for health factor, but in the end, this is just tasty.

Curried Roasted Carrot Dip

Curried Roasted Carrot Dip

Roasting carrots before making the classic dip from Veganomicon. Two kinds of garlic – sweetly roasted, and spicy raw, light, good as a dip for veggies, a spread on crackers or sandwiches.

Banana Trail Mix Muffins

Banana Trail Mix Muffins

This is basically the America’s Test Kitchen recipe for banana bread muffiins with no added sugar, I added chocolate drizzle on top cos Mary Berry broke me for Banana bread without chocolate and it didn’t seem right to put a crunchy sugar topping on muffins that have no added sugar. I also split up the work over two cooking sessions.

Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Nuts

Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Nuts

They’re sweet, they’re spicy, it’s nuts. That was incredibly dumb. These are great to snack on, easy to make, and fancy enough to set out during drinks if you’re hosting a dinner party.
