Growing up in Queensland Australia we had a Macadamia tree in our backyard always brimming with fruit and used to stuff myself with them to the point I can't even look at them even after all these years. Same goes with Mangoes another over-indulge in my younger years | |

Over indulge on macadamias? Hmm, I can see how that can happen. | |

I love big breakfasts on Sundays and holidays. I'm always looking for some new ideas for overnight French bread/toast casseroles or bread pudding type recipes. I'll have to try this one soon!
How about chocolate covered macadamias, can one ever get sick of those?  | |
