These are a slight twist on ordinary rock cakes. The addition of peanut butter gives them a lovely nutty flavour. It’s another treat that would be good in the lunch box.

RASPBERRY DUMPLINGS
We’ve been eating Mum’s Golden Syrup Dumplings for many, many years and I’ve already posted her recipe for them, but this is the first time I’ve seen a recipe for Raspberry Dumplings. It looks like it would work OK, it’s pretty much the same batter just with a jelly and jam sauce. I can just imagine the lovely pink that the sauce would go mixed with cream or ice cream. I know my pink loving granddaughter would think it wonderful.
BEAN AND TOMATO SOUP
I guess you could also classify this as a minestrone soup. It has a lot less vegetables, but that actually makes it quicker to make – a lot less chopping. I like the taste of this one, the kidney beans, bacon and tomato soup I think go well together.
LEMON LASSIES
A friend was giving lemons away this morning, so it seems like a good time to share this recipe. The filling is a coconut lemon curd and sounds yummy. I also like the idea that you can freeze any leftovers, if there are any that is!!
POTATO BACON PINWHEELS
These would be great at a party or to have with drinks before dinner. However you serve them, they’re quick, easy and tasty.
ROCKY ROAD TARTS
This recipe is another one from the Pampas Pastry Finger Food Recipe sheets. I’ve just checked to see if Pampas still make sweet tart cases and apparently they do – I just haven’t seen them around lately. If you can’t buy them you could make your own using pastry sheets.
BASIC PLAIN SCONES with Cheese, Pumpkin and Savoury variations
Taking my lead from the Great British Bake Off I feel I have to say – “It’s Scone Week” as I’m going to post five different scone recipes. Mum was a great scone maker so I wasn’t surprised to find this many recipes in her collection. This first one is the basic mix and then Cheese, Pumpkin and Savoury variations.
SAVORY LAMB CHOP BAKE
Winter is only four days away here in Victoria, so it’s time to start thinking of hearty winter casseroles. The combination of tomato sauce, vinegar, curry powder and brown sugar in this recipe reminds me of another one I make, which has pumpkin instead of the potato in it. The good thing with this recipe is that you probably have all the ingredients in the cupboard so it can be a last minute decision to make it.
PUMPKIN FRUIT CAKE
I’ve posted recipes for lots of different fruit cakes since I started this blog, but have just realized that a Pumpkin Fruit Cake recipe is missing from the collection. Mum and I have both made the pumpkin version over the years, we didn’t use wholemeal flour, but either way the pumpkin is a nice touch to the traditional cake.
ORANGE CURD TARTLETS
These are change from the more traditional lemon curd tarts. The meringue topping combined with the orange curd makes a great combination.
