Cooking via the Internet ...

Do you Pinterest recipes or post them onto your Facebook page so you can find them or print them from the internet?

I do!

And so lately I have been trying a few of these recipes.

And what do you know I have found some favourites that I have made a few times already.

Firstly this cake ...

Easy banana bread from Retro Mummy
- it is really good! I have only tried a small piece once or twice but my husband and children love it!
- I add about half a packet of choc chips and sometimes ice it with chocolate icing
- I find the cooking time in my oven is between 45 and 55 minutes so keep an eye on it
- it freezes really well
- I have used fairly brown/ black bananas and even black frozen bananas and they all work well

Another one from Retro Mummy ...

Best Ever Cold Frittata

- I have made it twice and cut it into servings and frozen it for quick lunches
- I added broccoli that I briefly microwaved as well as chopped red capsicum
- the second time I made it I only used a little bit of grated cheddar cheese on top and instead put cubed low fat feta in the mixture


And then this one that I found on Facebook recently that is in the oven right now ...

Apple Cinnamon White Cake

Photo from All Recipes 

- it smells good while cooking cause of that yummy cinnamon!

And my photo of it fresh out of the oven ...

I just had a small piece and it was very nice, really quite crusty / crisp on the outside and soft in the middle :-)

... I'll wait and see what the children think after school :-)

Oh and other than the Internet I am partial to a magazine for a new recipe.

At Easter I cooked this twice ...

Chocolate Meringue cake ... for the recipe on Donna Hay's site

A photo before I cooked it :-)

I highly recommend this one! The second time I forgot to put it in the fridge after baking (as per the recipe) and I think it was better the first time when it was refrigerated.
