This recipe is originally from Nigella, so you know it’s going to be a good one right. I saw it here the other day when I was reading the Daily Mail online (yes, I still read the British papers). It looked too good not to try, especially as my family are HUGE mac and cheese […] Read more…
I was in Aldi the other day and they had frozen prawns on special offer. I LOVE prawns, so I stocked up and bought 4 bags to chuck in the freezer. Luckily we all love prawns in our house (apart from Mr D, but we’re converting him slowly). So, as we have a freezer full […] Read more…
Despite it’s funny appearance (I know you giggled – so did Mr D), toad in the hole is actually bloody delicious. I mean who doesn’t love sausages in pancake batter? My friend Amanda from ‘A cooker and a Looker blog’ taught me exactly how to make toad in the hole (and her version is non thermomix […] Read more…
My bones are cold. There’s an icy wind blowing through Sydney today and although I have the heater on, I can’t seem to warm up. I don’t know how I ever managed to live in England!!!! The only thing that’s going to help today is a bowl of lovely warm soup, so I’ve just whipped […] Read more…

My older two kids have been there, done that, and are now relatively happy to eat whatever I cook at dinner time. My three year old on the other hand, has totally got other ideas, and every night we […] Read more…
I really struggled with this recipe. Not with cooking it or eating it, but trying to make it look pretty so I could get a good photo of it to show you all. I’m not sure I did it any justice, but it was the best I could get. It’s just one of those ‘ugly […] Read more…
It’s Thursday today so at least we’re over the hump, but I still seem to be running around like a headless chook. I actually went for a proper run this morning and ran a whole 4km. I am dead set impressed with myself, although I quite easily curl up and go for a nap now. […] Read more…
After doing a little survey on my Facebook Page about what recipes my readers would love to see on here, there was an overwhelming response for just one thing………DINNERS!! Having to cook dinners for the family every single night can be so boring, especially when you’re constantly trying to think of new things to cook. Kids […] Read more…
