On my shopping day last week I was lucky enough to pick up 3kg of fresh ricotta for half price. Now I thought I was lucky, but then when I realised when I got home that it was 3kg (I thought it was 1kg) I suddenly thought how am I going to use all of […]

Passionfruit and Lemon Cake
In our new house there was a passionfruit vine, over the past few weeks I had been watching to see new passionfruits pop up, as they have a tendency to be hiding and then all of a sudden you see them. I had to climb up and pull the vine back over the fence and […]
5 Ingredient, 15 Minute Ham and Cheese Tortellini
I am using D’orsogna’s product of the year Premium Australian Ham off the Bone found in the deli section of your local Woolworths to create this quick and delicious weeknight dinner. The kids love ham, cheese and pasta so what’s not to love about this winner of a weeknight dinner? the peas (maybe) but they […]

Five Ingredient Ham, Vegetable and Noodle Cups
This year I am trying to combat what I call “sandwich fatigue” in the boys lunchboxes. I find that it is so easy to make a sandwich that I get stuck in the rut of making them everyday and then the boys return with them half eaten because they are “sick of eating sandwiches”. These […]
Pepperoni, Broccoli and Cheese Fritters
Let’s be honest, I have NOT felt like cooking this past week thanks to the steamy humid conditions we are currently experiencing on the Gold Coast. Come dinner time and I’m like meh it’s too hot to even think about eating let alone cooking. Luckily it’s the school holidays and we have been eating dinner […]
