I have enjoyed getting back to basics and cooking some classic recipes my mum used to make when I was a child. It means even more to me now because I am making them for my children to enjoy. Something these old style recipes have taught me is that basic ingredients are still always the […]

Choc Chip Slice
Slices have been a hit for the lunchboxes in our house and they have been a hit with me. They are super easy to make and no fussing around, simply slice once cooked and eat. This Choc Chip Slice recipe has a delicious caramel undertone with the choc chips sprinkled on top. Being such a […]
Apple and Oat Slice

I know I am, these first two weeks have been crazy juggling two schools, two drop offs and pickups, fitting in work around these times, the start of homework, all the school notices to read….I am just exhausted recounting them.

Low Fat Gooey Brownies
The other day I felt like a sweet treat, a brownie to be precise; but I didn’t want all the extra calories that went along with said brownie. So I decided there has to be a way to make a low fat brownie that still tasted gooey and rich – so that it was I […]
