Chicken mince made it’s way into the shopping trolley this week. I don’t buy every week but when I do buy it I buy it at Woolworths and you can get two packets (500gm each) for $9 normally $6 each so it is a great price. I used one packet to make Chicken and Vegetable […]

Salmon Patties
These Salmon Patties were gobbled up by my two boys who refuse to eat fish but will happily eat fresh crumbed calamari, so I know they must be good. I have chosen to use fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets (I purchase mine from Aldi, they are about $11 for 4 fillets (500gm)) and it is money […]

Rich Tomato and Beef Stew
The cooler weather is here and the sunlight hours are shorter which means by the time I pick the boys up from after school care and get home from work it is already starting to get dark and I have two hungry boys on my hands. I have started to use my slow cooker again […]

Honey Mustard Chicken Skewers
Making your own marinades is really easy, you don’t need to worry about buying premade store bought ones that cost a fortune when you know how to make your own. As these honey mustard chicken skewers cook the honey starts to caramalise on the chicken and vegetables giving it a lovely flavour and texture. I […]
Zucchini and Cheese Waffles in the Kambrook Belgium Dual Waffle Press
Last week I received the Kambrook Belgium Dual Waffle Press to test drive in the Cooking For Busy Mums kitchen. I could count on one hand how many times I had had waffles in the past and both boys had never had a waffle. We set about making a standard waffle batter and we made […]
Delicious and Easy Chicken and Bacon Alfredo
This chicken and bacon alfredo is delicious and easy. It makes the perfect mid-week dinner as it is on the table in no time. I am using D’Orsogna’s new range of 100% natural premium shortcut bacon. The second that you open the twin pack you can smell and feel the difference of the 100% natural […]
