On Monday I came home from work and the weather was unseasonably warm for winter anyone would think we had moved straight to Spring except the following days have been cold, rainy and windy. I took the boys out for ice cream before heading home to get dinner organised. Hubby proclaimed that we would be […]
Easy Chocolate Custard
The boys love custard, they love yoghurt, they love milk actually they love anything that is drinkable. All of these however are very messy foods in our house. With two boys that never want to sit still I find myself chasing behind them with a wet cloth saying wipe your hands, clean your face, wipe […]
Zucchini & Chocolate Muffins
What kid doesn’t love chocolate cake? I know my nearly 4 year old loudly proclaimed when he saw these come out of the oven “Chocolate Cake my favourite, I love chocolate cake”. As parents we are always on the look out for ways to get a little extra vegetables into their diets as most littles […]
Low Fat Crumble Top Raspberry Muffins
Ever since having the kids and returning to work I make an effort to always take morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea from home. Not only is it cheaper it is a healthier option as well. Muffins and cakes from your local bakery may look yummy and convenient but you don’t actually know what’s in […]
Chai Pumpkin Scones – Recipe and Bondi Chai Giveaway
I was sent some of Bondi Chai’s single serve Chai Latte mixes to try last week which are perfect to enjoy in this cold weather. I have to admit the last time I can remember having a Chai Latte was when I was pregnant. While pregnant I didn’t drink coffee but still had a black […]

Simple Slow Cooked Blade Beef Roast
Slow cooking is so simple, pop your favourite meat into the slow cooker at the start of the day and enjoy luscious meat in the evening. This is more of a quick time guide rather then a recipe for slow cooking beef blade roast as you can add your own flavourings and change your start […]
Homemade Marshmallows made with Honey
What kid doesn’t love Marshmallows? Actually who doesn’t love marshmallows? They are that squishy sweet goodness that you can possibly never stop at one. Marshmallows are typically full of so.much.sugar that you will rarely find them in my cupboard as the boys will continually ask for them as they are so sweet. I had seen […]
Slow Cooked Golden Sausages
A few weeks ago I started to go through Mum’s box of the Women’s Weekly Recipe Cards that she had collected in the early 80’s. There are so many old style recipes that I am dying to try. At the front of the box was a bunch of hand written recipes. It’s sad to think […]
