Spiced Dutch Honey Cake
Spring has sprung here in not so sunny Ballarat, and although many may associate spring with flowers, I associate spring with bees, so naturally, today I’m baking with honey. Every time I walk through the international section at the supermarket I eyeball the Dutch Honey Cake, but I always opt to leave it, because the version available in the supermarket always looks overly processed, dense, and dry, so today, I made my own! And I can assure you that it is neither overly processed, dense, nor dry! It even got the tick of approval from hubby! But, that was because he thought it tasted like ginger kisses, even though there is not a spec of ginger in this Spiced Honey Cake recipe. I don’t know, don’t ask me! I just couldn’t taste it.

Simple Halloween Treats
I love Halloween. When else can adults have a legit excuse to play dress up and indulge in candy and face painting without people thinking we're crazy. It allows us to have fun with our children and enjoy the beautiful colors of the changing season. It also gives us the excuse to watch more scary movies (not that I need one).

High Protein Salad with Salmon
Let's be honest. No one has time to make a gourmet meal just to feed yourself, especially on weekdays. As I'm a baker it does get hard for me not to go out on carbohydrates and sugar all the time as I need to taste what I'm baking in order for me to make the best cakes that I can offer. So from time to time, I do need to watch I'm eating and keep a balance between the sugar and the carbs with vitamins and high protein meals. That why I'm letting all you lovely readers know about my quick 15 minute salad with salmon meal, so you can keep those vitamins and high proteins running through your system.

I Pull up with a Lemon
This is another recipe where I got absolutely fixated on a specific ingredient. I was looking at different spices on Amazon. Because I don’t live within walking distance to specialty stores anymore, the easiest way for me to shop for different spices is online. I can look, and I google to see the notes and get a feel for what I’m looking at. With the green cardamom, I just went for it. I was already ordering different syrups and decided to scroll through the spices that popped up as suggestions. I saw green cardamom pods. I was familiar with black cardamom, but I didn’t know anything about green. I googled and read descriptions that pegged green cardamom as “spicy and citrusy,” and before I knew it, I had a bag of green cardamom pods shipping to me. I wasn’t even sure how I would use them in a drink. I had an idea in my mind to add it to lemonade, but wasn’t sure of how. I’d never used green cardamom before. I knew I didn’t want to make a syrup, so I read up on it some more and saw that the best way to open up the flavor was to toast the pods. That seemed simple enough, and it was. It’s incredible how a drink can be completely transformed just by adding or changing one ingredient. I love that. This drink is made pretty much the same way lemonade is made, just with a little something extra. It makes one pitcher.

Sweet Potato Chilli Boats With Avocado-Lime Sour Cream
I’m a fly by the seat of my pants kind of cook, so I quite literally threw this recipe together in two hours, from concept to the table. I have to pat myself on the back, because these chili boats came out AMAZING!! It satisfied every craving you could think of, and while it’s hearty and has a complex flavor, it’s also light enough to leave you feeling energized and healthy. This is the perfect meal for a dinner party, especially for the upcoming fall, as sweet potatoes and chili seem to warm people up and make them feel festive.

Series on Santa Maria Style BBQ, the Filthy Filly Way. The Pin Bone Sirloin
In my last article, I introduced you to the West's answer to BBQ (Santa Maria Style BBQ) and the long-loved tradition of cooking our meat over a red oak open pit. The traditional cut of meat used is a sirloin or top block; however, we became even more solidified in our own brand of BBQ when in the 1950s a local butcher took a usual throw away piece of meat, he called the Tri-tip (for it's triangular shape) and threw it on the open pit with the usual simple Santa Maria style of seasoning we've always used, and still use today. This series will visit these cuts of meat and how to prepare them, as well as introduce you to different cuts of meats, dishes, and flavors families all over the central coast have brought to the pit, which have become a tradition in their own right.
