I made these cute and simple Oreo Spiders for Mr 8’s reptile and insect party last month and I thought that they would also be a fun little treat to make for Halloween. Super easy and the kids can help as well. INGREDIENTS 2 Packets Oreo Biscuits 1 Packet 2 Metres of Licorice (I found […]

Wholemeal No Added Sugar Apple and Banana Pikelets
Pikelets are always a favourite. You can make them plain or you can pack them full of goodness like I have done in this recipe. They are perfect for toddlers as they can easily hold them and munch away and are also great in the lunchbox. This version has no added sugars, the sweetness comes […]
Date and Apple Loaf
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 […]

Strawberry Scones
We all get a little bit happy when berry season starts. I love that the boys what to gobble up as many as they can and that they are cheap. To maintain a weekly shopping budget I refuse to buy berries when they are out of season – up to $5 for 250gm of strawberries […]
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 […]
Passionfruit Shortbread
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 […]
