Trick or Treat Spider cookies. A sweet treat to make Halloween a touch more spooky and sweet.

This Zingy Summer Salsa is quick, easy and the perfect snack or dinner compliment. I serve it with homemade nachos, fajitas or tacos or simply freshly made with good quality corn chips.

This is a great meal, any time of year but especially in winter. I've made variations of it with chicken, bacon and mushroom; a dash of curry paste, lamb or beef and some kumera.

I’m not 100% sure where this recipe originates from. But all I know is Mum makes it every Christmas in little care sized packages and every Easter to share and it’s great!
