Hope you’re all having a great week - I advise making gingerbread biscuits if your week needs improving! 😁❀️

One of the perks of living in Far North Queensland One of the perks of living in Far North Queensland... you come home to find boxes of mangoes in your garage! 😍😍😍 These will be made into dried mango, cobblers, chutneys, frozen for smoothies and ice creams, fermented in honey, and made into delicious fizzy drinks! Stay tuned for lots of mango cooking videos when these babies ripen (and some before they ripen)! πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

So messy and a lot of work but #WORTHIT ✨

Just kidding 😁, it’s actually a beautiful and rare tree kangaroo, native to our area! My son just sent me this video from where he’s working on a rainforest orchard near our home. Cool huh? 

Have you ever seen a tree kangaroo? ❀️

Happy new year, everyone! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ As we venture i Happy new year, everyone! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ As we venture into the unknown I think we need cake to help keep stress levels low, don’t you? 😍 Healthy cake of course! 😁 So here’s some lemon, yoghurt and plum cupcakes for you. I would have delivered them to your door but lots of borders are still closed (and I’m still busy with book writing) πŸ˜‰πŸ˜˜ so here’s the recipe so you can make them yourself! ❀️

These deliciously moist cupcakes are gluten free, grain free, and naturally sweetened, and can be dairy free as well. You could probably use pepita meal instead of almond meal to make them nut free, too! (I haven’t tried that yet but should work - colour just won’t be golden yellow.) 

To make these cupcakes, use the Lemon Yoghurt Cake recipe on my blog (tap on this photo via the link in my profile to go to recipe), pour batter into cupcake/muffin liners in trays filling halfway, and place a halved plum into each one. Bake in 180C oven for 25 mins (fan-forced oven). This will make about 21 large cupcakes. Store in the fridge for a week or so, or freeze for up to 3 months! 😍

Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling unprep Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling unprepared for Christmas?? Every time I cook something to pop in the freezer for Christmas Day it seems to be needed for a party or get together (I now have a pie and some rocky road hidden away... shhh!!); I've only bought a few gifts and haven't wrapped any yet (except the cookbooks I posted off 😁); and there's just so much happening this time of year it's hard to fit in the shopping and cooking! 

Today I spent the day helping my friend move house (which was actually quite fun πŸ˜„ see my stories!) - no time for Christmas shopping - so I'm thinking tonight I'd better work out some 'digital gift' options. 

Thankfully my lovely assistant Emma has sorted out Quirky Gift Cards for us all... I sent one to my sister in the NT to test out and she had fun going shopping in my store πŸ˜ƒ. YAY!! 

I'll also be releasing my 'sneak peek' ebook tonight with 12 recipes from my upcoming cookbook - a great gift idea 🎁 and it comes with a discount code for the new cookbook!

So if you are a last-minute shopper like me πŸ™ˆ or you are in lockdown and can't go shopping 😭, do not despair, help is on the way. ❀️

✨✨ You can find the Quirky Gift Cards by tapping on this photo via the link in my profile. ✨✨ 

...and stay tuned for the eBook release tonight! 😍😘
