Moving!
A big thank you to Greedy Bear Bakes for this nomination. Although the Dragon’s Picnic has not posted for a few months, this seems the perfect final post on my WordPress blog. I am moving to a self-hosted site and although it is not up and running just yet, please drop by some time in…
Three Variations of Orange Tahini-Based Sauces or Dressings
Oranges, similar to lemons or limes, mix well with tahini to create a deliciously rich, creamy, nutty, and tangy sauce which goes with many dishes
These three variations of orange tahini-based sauces include a salty and tangy orange miso, an earthy, pungent orange ginger, or enjoy the golden colour of the earthy-sweet taste of orange tumeric. Any of these sauces can be drizzled on a dish to add a refreshing zing to a meal.…
Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches
According to the Food Network, the earliest known ice cream sandwich recipe was made with two slices of sponge cake. They have gradually evolved until the ice cream was eventually sandwiched between cookies and crispy wafers which more closely resembles the treat we enjoy today.

The benefit of this is that research claims that this mix will promote a more varied gut bacteria which will ultimately lead to a healthier gut microbiome. …
Orange and Lemon Sweets (Vegan and GF)

Not at all surprising as these fruits are a common ingredient in baking and cooking and can have many uses for both sweet and savoury dishes. However, when I think of oranges and lemons something quite different comes to mind.…
THE DRAGON'S PICNIC 
“The Dragon’s Picnic” blog inspired me to try making some homemade granola. It is so easy. I have been spending a fortune on gluten free store bought granola. I followed the suggestions on your blog. I used gluten free oats, flax seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, and added a touch of vanilla. It is absolutely scrumptious.
