I love baking with dates, they add natural sugar to a recipe and also a lovely brown colour to the mix. I am using my favourite date loaf recipe and jazzing it up with grated apples. I have chosen to use a food processor to breakdown the dates as I know what the kids will […]

Oat, Peanut Butter and Honey Biscuits
Oats, peanut butter and honey are a great combination. I know I love peanut butter and honey in my porridge so it was only natural that I tried the flavours in a biscuit combination and they turned just as I imagined. The oats give the biscuit a hearty texture while the peanut butter and honey […]
Stuffed Pizza Rolls
I have a couple of pizza fans in my house. They would happily eat pizza everyday if I let hahaha. On our lunchbox rotater is mini pizzas which are super easy to make and freeze but I do like to get creative and give them some variety while sticking to flavours I know that they […]
Chocolate Carrot Cake
I do love a good hide a veggie in a chocolate cake recipe. I have hidden pumpkin, beetroot and zucchini so far and this weekend I added carrot to the mix. Adding vegetables into a cake, loaf or muffin mix is not simply to disguise the vegetables because all the added sugar and butter simply […]

My fruit bowl is overflowing with passionfruits from our vine which means we need to either eat them, remove the pulp and freeze it, give them away or bake with them. All of the for mentioned will be happening as I have a heap that still need to be picked up and brought inside. I […]
Granola Choc Drizzle Biscuits
This is a really easy melt and mix biscuit recipe that is packed full of granola and sweetened with honey. I chose to use a nutty variety of granola with no dried fruit as the kiddos aren’t big fans of it but you can use any variety of granola that your family loves. The kids […]
Basic Zucchini Slice
I always seem to put bacon on ham and other random vegetables into my zucchini slice but this week when zucchini’s were super cheap I opted for a more toned downed version with only a few ingredients and the end result was perfection. While to core ingredients aren’t very flavoursome, my simple trick to get […]
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 […]
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 […]
