The cooler weather is on its way and I cannot wait! It means filling casseroles and warm yummy desserts! I’m kicking off the cool change with this oh so good Caramel Apple Crumble. Apples, covered in caramel with a cinnamon biscuit crumble is heaven in every bite. Serve with unsweetened thickened cream or go all […]

Quick and Easy Chai Latte
I absolutely love my coffee but sometimes when I feel like a change or how I like to refer to it as a “warm hug” I crave a Chai Latte. I paid $4 for one last week while I was out and thought this is crazy I could make this quite easily myself. So here […]
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 […]
Lamb Chop and Vegetable Tray Bake
Tray bakes or one pan dishes are my favourite simply because it means less dishes and I can pop it in the oven and come back to dinner being ready, no standing around stirring, turning etc. I am using the humble lamb forequarter chop for this dish. They are renound for being high and fat […]

Cheesy Cauliflower and Bacon Bake

We shouldn’t dismiss frozen vegetables, in fact they have more nutrients than fresh […]
No Stir Bacon and Leek Risotto
We have been embracing the welcomed cooler evenings and mornings the past week here on the Gold Coast which is a sign that the cooler weather is finally here after a very late Summer burst of heat this year. To kick of the cooler seasons off I made this deliciously warming and filling bacon and […]
Sweet Potato Soup
Soup is really popular in our house during Winter and I think I have cooked nearly every vegetable soup you could possibly make. Most of the time it is to use up the vegetables that are in the fridge that need eating, but for the rest of the time I make it because the boys […]

The weather has definitely cooled down and we are well and truly on our way to enjoying lovely warm, comforting dinners in our house. This flavour packed Slow Cooked Beef, Chorizo and Vegetable Pie is one dish that fits the bill. The meat is lovely and tender and the flavours spot on. The homemade short […]
