It's been over 6 months since I made some of my favorite muffins ever. But I couldn't just leave well enough alone. I had to 'improve' them. By making a chocolate version, of course. The muffins are ridiculously soft, moist, rich, decadent, but only about 100 calories each.
We are taking a little road trip to spend some time on the beach with our family in Southern California this week. I can't tell you how nice it is to be outside, and not instantly melt into a puddle of sweat!
Salted Dark Chocolate Macadamia Fudge comes together in minutes, with only 5 ingredients, and is guaranteed to satisfy those chocolate cravings! This fudge happened because of my recent trip to Maui, pure and simple. It all started on our flight, which was on Hawaiian airlines.

I love a good pavlova. It's such an iconic 80's dish and maybe just a touch naff. When I was a little kid, my mum used to always make a pavlova when she hosted dinner parties, which was garnished with slices of lurid green kiwis that probably fitted right in with the quiche, shoulder pads, and the obligatory post-dinner game of Twister.
