	Apple Muffins by Li Everyone has a Pile of Deadlines. Mine is usually split into "Work I Want To Do" and "Work I Will Do Anything To Avoid". Well, the latter pile is just starting to explode on me this week.Muffins are the perfect thing to make when you're buried under that pile of work that you still don't quite want to touch. They are fast and easy.…	1 vote 367 views
	Cherry Cheesecake Trifle for One & Liebster Award by Li One of my favorite quick snacks when I'm hungry but lazy is to spread cream cheese on a digestive biscuit and add a dollop of jam on top. What you get out of this is a mouthful that tastes almost exactly like cheesecake. I thought posting about that would be just too little effort for this blog, even for me, so I fancied it up a…	1 vote 346 views
	Strawberry and Cream Biscuits by Li I went to Orange last weekend on a road trip which, while woefully lacking the presence of real oranges, did have plenty of beautiful fall colored trees in various shades of orange, brown and red. It's known as the 'color city' and you can see why.Orange is packed full of natural produce. There is an abundance of farms, vineyards and…	1 vote 325 views
	Apple Pie by Li It took a while, but it's finally starting to feel like fall here in Sydney. The trees are turning red and fading brown; there's the sharp crunch of dried leaves under your feet as you walk down the street. In the supermarket, piles of apples tower above everything else.There is was a pile of apples in my home too. Last week when I…	1 vote 454 views
	4-Ingredient Nutella Cookies by Li It's Monday again. It just insists on rolling around every six days, doesn't it? I've been fortunate enough to be on a two week break from classes, but as it's Monday, it means it has officially ended. It's sad news, people.Luckily I've got something to give you that isn't so sad. Right the opposite. Especially if you love nutella -…	1 vote 362 views
	Almond Croissants by Li Do you have a cafe that you go to frequently as a meeting place? Somewhere that you can call the 'usual place' and others will know what you're referring to? For me and a small group of my closest friends from high school, that would be Le Pain Quotidien, or as we like to call it more simply, the French cafe.It's not particularly…	1 vote 303 views
	Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread by Li Afternoon tea is a tradition that's been ingrained in me since primary school. At least one afternoon each week, my mother would pick me up and we would go to McDonald's for a teatime treat of french fries, cokes and cheeseburgers (the stuff every kid dreams of). I'm not even kidding; I visited Maccas so often as a kid I managed to…	1 vote 323 views
	Jaffa Muffins by Li I don't know about you, but I love discovering new kinds of food through books. Literature has a way of making you look at food differently. In the particular case of jaffa cakes, I discovered their existence when I was about eleven through a book I was reading at the time which unfortunately I can't remember the name of - the…	1 vote 296 views
	Raw Cheesecake by Li I have never understood this whole 'raw foods' trend. Suddenly everything's being converted into what is essentially its 'healthified' version - vegan, gluten free, sugar free and raw. It's been everywhere lately in the form of cookies, bars and even brownies. And while a part of me thinks it's great to focus on using natural, pure…	1 vote 328 views
	Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies by Li It occurred to me as I was looking through my previous posts that I haven't posted a cookie recipe for a month. One whole month. This might be a record.I was left with a jar of half finished coconut oil when I made the raw cheesecake in my last post, so that left me with half a jar and over a dozen recipes that I had favorited a while…	1 vote 227 views
