Bruschetta recipes are prolific online I know but this is mine version - a little spicy and a bit sassy. People who don't like tomatoes eat it - that's how delicious it is - all modesty aside of course. It is excellent. Cheesy Pesto Bruschetta - balsamic tomatoes with a little heat and sweetness are piled onto crunchy, warm pesto cheese bread. Now you've got yourself a pretty spectacular and, dare I say, easy appetizer or lunch. It'll do dinner too with some wine or beer to accompany. Pfft, like
RAISIN AND GINGER CORNFLAKE COOKIES
As a child, I wasn't allowed cookies and sweets but mum would occasionally bake and cornflake cookies were on repeat and one of my favorites. Raisin and Ginger Cornflake Cookies is my version of the cookies mum made but mine have a subtle ginger flavor. The cookies are soft inside and lovely and crunchy outside thanks to the cornflakes. Make sure to buy Kellogg's Cornflakes and not the generic brand as the flakes are bigger and better with the name brand.

WHAT IS SELF-RISING FLOUR
What is self-rising flour, or self-raising flour as it's also called? It's a mixture of regular, all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt. And yes, you can make it at home but why, when you can buy it? It's convenient for starters and it's been triple sifted to incorporate the ingredients.

ASPARAGUS AND BACON FRIED RICE
What evolved in China hundreds of years ago to use up leftover meats and vegetables, is now a staple for westerners at Chinese restaurants. Good old fried rice. This, one of many versions of fried rice I make - Asparagus and Bacon Fried Rice, can be enjoyed on its own or as a side with grilled meats, stir-fries and Asian-inspired salads. I love it with Sweet Chili Teriyaki Chicken and Cucumber Salad. Or Chicken, Snow Pea and Cashew Stir-Fry.
As with most Asian recipes, have
QUICK AND EASY MOTHER’S DAY RECIPES
This Sunday, May 10th, is Mother's Day in Australia and America so I've thrown together a few recipes I thought would be perfect to cook for mum this weekend. First in the Quick and Easy Mother's Day recipes collection is breakfast: 7-Minute Blueberry Breakfast Pastries. I'd be happy eating one of these for breakfast washed down with a strong, black coffee every morning.
Melon and Prosciutto with Fig Vinaigrette is a light and quick-to-make lunch.
Keeping it relatively fuss-free,
LAYERED VANILLA CAKE WITH BUTTERCREAM ICING
Make Mother's Day (or any celebration) special with a Layered Vanilla Cake with Buttercream Icing. Cheat and use a box cake mix and then make your own, super simple but decedent and lush icing. Then decorate with, sprinkles, sparkles, fresh flowers or chocolate - whatever takes your fancy really. I like to keep things fairly simple. So either decorations on the side or the top. Not both.
The decorations I bought on Amazon. Here's the link. Cake decorating stores will also have
