Tray bakes are my go to time savior. You literally put everything in uncooked, whack it in the oven and pull it out cooked. That’s it no fancy steps, no masses of dishes to clean just one tray. I have cooked lamb chops and chicken tray bakes and last night I used the humble sausage. […]
Oaty Yoghurt Blueberry, Banana and Apple Mini Muffins
These mini muffins make a great morning snack or breakfast when you are on the run. They can be frozen and then reheated in the microwave for times when you are busy to cook. Filled with only natural sugars from the fruit and yoghurt and bulked up with the goodness of oats these mini muffins […]
Sweet Potato and Bacon Fritters
This recipe has Sunday breakfast written all across it. Streaky bacon, sweet crispy sweet potato, avocado, sour cream what’s not to love? My favourite D’Orsogna Rindless Streaky Bacon (you can find this in the fridge section of Woolworths) is making its appearance in these too good to be true fritters. The flavour that is packed […]

To say that I am happy that it is soup season is an understatement. Soup is a family favourite and also a work lunch favourite. I love that you can get so many vegetables into one meal and no one really complains about eating it. I serve soup to the boys with toast soldiers or […]
Chocolate and Banana Bread
I cannot believe that this recipe is not already here on the blog as I have made it many a time but never took any photos. So I am rectifying this and sharing this super delicious recipe with you. We love banana bread but what is better than banana bread? Chocolate Banana Bread of course […]
Pear, Yoghurt and Vanilla Slice Cake
Pears are in season in May which means the price comes down and they are the most deliciously juicy and sweet. While we love eating them on their own they also make a lovely addition to baked goods. They go perfectly in this Pear, Yoghurt and Vanilla slice cake which is a great addition to […]

We still have so many Easter eggs. I have been slowly removing them from the kids rooms and hiding them in the pantry. Last weekend we decided to take 6 or so of the hollow smaller eggs and add them to this brownie recipe. This brownie recipe is up there with one of my most […]
