I was going through my kitchen pantry the other day, doing a bit of a clean out, when I found of bag of glace cherries. I must have bought them at Christmas time and just forgotten about them. I could have done a few things with them…… Eat them straight out of the bag. I used […] Read more…
I’ve been a bit slack with the Christmas baking this year. Time seems to be flying past me at a rate of knots and with the unusually hot Sydney weather we’ve been having, the kitchen is the last place I’ve wanted to be. However we did have friends around last weekend and I thought that […] Read more…
I saw this recipe last week on Maxabella Loves (who by the way, is one of my favourite bloggers to read) and it really caught my eye. It’s definitely my kind of muffin. I told her so and she challenged me to convert it for the thermomix. Of course, I had to. That was the […] Read more…
With Christmas just around the corner, I love baking even more. I don’t know why? I kind of get swept up the spirit of it all and get all Nigella-ish in the kitchen.

I don’t normally start thinking about Christmas until after Josh’s birthday which at the end of October, so I’m feeling a little bit smug that I’ve got one in early this year.

It’s not been all bad though and to keep busy we have done A LOT of baking. This morning Lexi-Rose wanted to […] Read more…
I saw a recipe for vanilla butterfly cupcakes on Kidspot the other day and they really reminded me of my childhood. It also made me realise that I have never actually made my kids butterfly cupcakes before or even the classic cream and jam victoria sponge cake either. Every kid has to have butterfly cupcakes, it’s sacrilege! Yesterday […] Read more…
Josh’s birthday is at the end of October and the count down has already begun (yes, it is painful!). Last night he was telling another new idea of what he would like, and one the things he asked for were red velvet cupcakes. I didn’t even know he’d had them before, but apparently they’re his favourite. […] Read more…
These biscuits are absolutely perfect for little kids in the kitchen. Although I’ve used my thermomix, you really don’t need one. This cookie dough is so easy to work with that the kids can really get stuck into making all kinds of shapes without the dough breaking up and falling to pieces. It’s just like […] Read more…
