My two little humans broke up with bananas, so I was left with a bowl of over ripe ones. During nap tine, I decided to convert some into something tasty before they got to the point of no return.

Rainy day granola (gluten free & accidentally vegan!)
Literally named ‘rainy day granola’ because it was a dark n’ stormy Sunday, thus I didn’t want to go out the shops for groceries! I made this just before the COVID-19 lockdowns began in Melbourne, but now that I have a newborn I can barely go out even though lockdowns have been lifted! I think it’s something delicious you can make at home quick & swiftly!

After trying many different granolas in the last few weeks though, I’ve made this one based on one my husband’s current favourites from The Source - but wheat free!

Chocolate Chip & Honeycomb Cookies
I’m definitely a doomsday preper styled holiday maker. I feel the urgency to eat everything in the house, clean profusely & spring clean in the days leading up to a trip - even though sometimes I am away for a night. On a whim to finish the honeycomb at home before flying out, I decided to chuck it in my chocolate chip cookie recipe from the cafe.

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
I have a confession to make. I am helplessly addicted to peanut butter. So when Reese’s peanut butter chips were on sale at the supermarket I took them home to whiz up some magic, which is how these cookies were born.
