On a Friday night we have a fun dinner which is also referred to as Fakeaway – we make a version of takeaway at home. Chinese is up there as one of our favourite takeaway meals but the price tag that goes along with said Chinese takeaway is not my favourite. Last Friday night I […]

Curried Pumpkin and Bacon Soup
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 […]
Ricotta and Spinach Rolls
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 […]
Triple Smoked Ham & Egg Filo Tart
This is a great quick and easy breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s a simple put together and then leave it to cook in the oven. It is perfect hot or cold with a salad or not. I am using D’Orsogna Triple Smoked Ham which is available from the deli counter of your local Woolworths. D’Orsogna […]
5 Ingredient, 15 Minute Ham and Cheese Tortellini

Zucchini Mac n Cheese under 5 Minutes
Zucchini Mac n Cheese ready in under 5 Minutes has been a real savior on work nights. I’ve been cooking this dish at least once a week lately as the boys have been gobbling it up. It is the perfect side dish to steak, chicken as well as the slow cooker meals I have been […]
Slow Cooker Oyster Blade Steak and Vegetable Stew
In an attempt to balance work and coming home late after school pick ups I am vowing to cook one slow cooker meal a week. I am hoping this will help combat the I AM STARVING comment from the boys every afternoon as we get home close to normal dinner time. This week is the […]
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 […]
