Going back to work after 12 months leave (I know, lucky me) has meant a few changes in our house. Little Miss (our gorgeous puppy) has lost her automatic door opener (me) throughout the day, G has to help with the housework a little bit more and […]

In my previous few posts about pasta I mentioned that it is something that G and I don’t normally eat a lot of but it seems that in the past few weeks we have been devouring it a little more regularly. This is possibly due to a couple of reasons. […] 
I’ve never considered myself a technical genius or one […] 
Having fruit that is a little past its prime seems like an endless reoccurrence in our house, especially when it comes to bananas. I’m not sure if I buy too many or whether neither of us eat enough but there always seems to be some left by the end of […] 
Winter is a time when I find it extremely easy to stay at home, eat comfort food and invariable put on weight. By the time summer comes around I have to work really hard to try and reverse things. Recently I made a decision to try and avoid that cycle […] 
Some people find cooking with spices confusing but for me it is one of my favourite things. I love being able to create such depth and layers of flavours while also keeping things light and bright on the palate and this is something that I consider exciting and challenging. Therefore, […] 
There are certain things in life that just make people happy, a puppy running towards them to say hello or maybe a child’s laughter. We all have something that we love. For many of my family’s friends that would have to be my Mum’s sponge. When I was a little […] 
There are times that I absolutely love to make things that I have made a hundred times before. There is something extremely comforting about knowing a recipe like the back of your hand and knowing the steps inside out. Most of these types of recipes come from my Nanna or my Mum. […] 
Visiting friends or having friends over always gives me a great excuse to bake and I often like to try something different. My recipes come from a range of sources such as my Mum, my Nanna, other people blogs, the internet in general and sometimes they are given to […] 
Baking is one of my pleasures in life that I don’t need an excuse to do. Although, I always seem to have a good reason for the things that I make, whether it be taking a dessert to someone’s place for dinner or simply because our […] 
Upon our return from holidays I restocked the fridge with fresh fruit and vegetables ready for the week ahead. As I was doing so I discovered three passionfruit that looked a little worse for wear. I thought about throwing them out but then I remembered that when looking for good […] 
Cookies (or biscuits if you live down under) are one of those things that can make anyone weak at the knees when they are fresh from the oven, especially if they are chocolate chip cookies. I think that people who love baking are always on the hunt for the best […] 
Sunday is normally the day when I have a small window of time to bake a little and it is a time that I treasure. Baking is something that makes me feel satisfied, brings a warm feeling to my heart and makes me feel like I […] 
Last Sunday was Mother’s Day and also G’s Birthday. I wanted to be able to look after everyone on their special days so decided to call my Mum interstate, cook breakfast for G’s Mum and create something special for G in the evening. Speaking to my Mum was lovely […] 
I generally have a few staple dinners that I cook during the week. You know what I mean, those dishes that you know take minimum time to prepare and taste great for what they are. Lately though, I have been trying to make sure that I cook a few different things. That, combined […] 
Yesterday was a day of spring cleaning, even though it is autumn at the moment. A couple of times a year I like to clean all of those places that never get cleaned. I also like to go through the fridge and either throw out or use up all the jars of things […] 
In our house, fresh fruit is something that we tend to eat more in the summer, although we still go through fads. One week we’ll eat quite a bit and others it just seems to sit around. The most common thing we seem to be left with at the end of the week […] 
Being a self confessed cooking and food addict does not mean that I am completely immune to those days when you just don’t know what to cook for dinner or simply, and possibly more honestly in my case, just can’t be bothered trying to create something delicious. Yes, it was […] 
The weather has been a little cooler this week, staying in the high 20’s rather than being close to 40°C. This made me want to cook something warm & hearty rather than something that would go with salad which we tend to eat when the weather is warm. I found an entry written […] 
Coming home from being out of town is always a wonderful feeling. Not that I don’t love going away, I just adore the comforts of home and especially being with G. I usually try to leave a few pre-prepared dinners for him when I am away so that he doesn’t […] |
