On a Sunday afternoon I love to get some cooking down to see us through the week, especially for lunchboxes. My 6.5 had asked for sausage rolls to be made for this week, which I made. I had a couple of sheets of puff pastry left that had already defrosted so I got creative with […]

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 […]

Zucchini and Feta Cornmeal Loaf
In an effort to keep breakfast varied and still quick I made this Zucchini and Feta Cornmeal Loaf to enjoy. It is a great savoury breakfast option that you can make at the start of the week and enjoy throughout the following days. While the zucchini doesn’t add much flavour the feta is really the […]
No Potato Hash Browns
These no potato has browns are a lower carb option as they are made with cauliflower – yes that’s right these are cauliflower has browns. Baked in the oven they have a nice crunchy outside and a soft inside just like a normal has brown. I have added a good dose of cheese because cauliflower […]
Mild Salami and Cream Cheese Scrolls – easy and fun afternoon tea (video)
On the afternoons when I don’t work and pick the boys up straight from school I like to make them a fun afternoon tea before they start homework or go and play. They are always STARVING when they get home and I like to provide a balanced choice that will sustain them until dinner time. […]
