Risottos don’t have to be all time consuming with the mixing we think they require. A risotto can actually fend for it self and cook quite sufficiently without all the mixing. The secret to this is a heavy based pot/crockpot which will stop it from sticking and the use of a lid. This risotto will […]

Weekly Meal Plan #6
Welcome to another plan of what we ate last week for dinner meals. I hope you have been finding the meals plan useful when planning your meals for the week. It was a Public Holiday on the Monday so some slow roasting on the Weber Q was in order and had enough roast lamb to […]
Slow Cooked Balsamic Glaze Beef Eye Round Roast
During Winter I really embraced my slow cooker, more so than any other Winter. The only reasons I can think why I did is that I am more busy (if that’s possible) than last year and I love walking in the door after a long day at work to dinner being 95% complete. Also, the […]
Weekly Meal Plan #5
This week has a bit of seafood theme. We are lucky enough to live a short drive to the local trawlers where we regularly buy fresh squid to make our calamari. This week we bought some fresh local caught prawns as well as squid, enough to freeze and cook with for the week. Both boys […]
Gnocchi, Pumpkin, Chicken and Parmesan Bake
This Gnocchi, Pumpkin, Chicken and Parmesan Bake is made using leftover homemade pumpkin soup and leftover roast chicken. It is a great budget friendly meal that turns leftovers into a meal the whole family will enjoy. Most of the cooking has already been done, so once the gnocchi is cooked and tossed with the other […]

Weekly Meal Plan #3
Another week has rolled over and it’s been another busy one here. We celebrated my sons 5th birthday which you may have seen snippets of on Instagram and Pinterest where I set up a Trashies Party Board for my Trash Pack crazy little guy. I’ll share more party details next week. Here’s what we ate […]
Baked Sausage, Salami and Potato
I have been making a few one dish meals lately and I have really loved the simplicity of these meals. There is less washing up and there are no time consuming steps, just place into the dish and bake, dinner is done. Sausages can sometimes be quite boring, but when you bake them they become […]
Weekly Meal Plan #2
This week was a bit different to a normal week. I had a massive photo shoot on Monday to prepare for a new Entertaining ebook that will be released in November for Christmas and New Year, sponsored by D’Orsogna. Without my lovely sponsors it wouldn’t be possible to bring you some of the great new […]
