Which ever way you serve this, it's delicious.
There's no real recipe (it's a family secret!) but I will say the key to a good cheese sauce is using corn flour: the texture just bubbles so much easier with the butter at those first stages.

So I had a friend over, and we each did our own little baking thing together while bonding over various flours and processes. I've been dying to try out my own cinnamon rolls, especially since the bakery chain no longer makes them (extremely sad!!).
These couldn't have turned out more perfect: The cinnamon wasn't too sweet, the dough was that pull apart consistency: Best of all the icing! I added a bit of peanut butter to give it that smooth final taste, and it's probably the best icing I've ever made.

I'm never going back to regular cream cheese frosting again.

As soon as the days start to get a little longer and the weather a little warmer my thoughts start to head in the direction of BBQ's. During the cold winter months it is often dark by the time I finish work, but once spring starts to make its presence felt there is little more that I enjoy than cooking on the BBQ out on the deck.
These days my preferred BBQ method is charcoal. Not as convenient as a gas fired grill, but so much more atmosphere and certainly a lot more flavour. Important to note I don't use the compressed BBQ briquettes that are so readily available. I prefer to use charcoal, which is now pretty readily available at good hardware shops and BBQ stores. My charcoal grill has a large hood so I can roast and smoke as well as grill. Get in touch if you are interested in the grill I use.
A chimney (also available from hardware and BBQ supply shops) is a great way to get your fuel burning. A few firelighters in the bottom, 20 minutes later you are good to go.
I cook a lot of different meats on the grill, but I think my favourite at the moment is chicken. Chicken pieces, marinated and grilled over hot coals is hard to beat. I also hot smoke whole chicken by adding a chunk of hickory to the coals. Let us know how you like to BBQ!

When life gives you a rainy day.... Throw a tub of yoghurt and diced strawberries into an ice cream maker.

A typical Thursday night calls for some variety... And this tasty loaf is a great addition to your fridge for a few days! I would suggest making polenta (dry polenta + stock) and then combining with the wet, to reduce the grainy taste.
Here's the recipe:
Substitute green chillies for whatever you please!
