I make these no bake granola bars as much for me as I do for the kids. I often pop one or two in a little zip lock bag in my handbag for me to eat when I’m out and about. They’re nice and healthy and stop me from buying something to snack on when […] Read more…
It’s only two weeks until my kids will be on school holidays and the thought of it is giving me the jitters already. Although it will be amazing to not have to make lunch boxes every morning, I still have to feed them during the holidays and (for some reason) they seem to want to […] Read more…
I’ve been baking again. It’s become a real procrastination habit of late. Whenever there is something on my to-do list that is not floating my boat, I seem to find myself busy in the kitchen. It’s not great for getting through my list, but it sure does make the kids happy. I even over heard […] Read more…
School is back today, and there have been so many lovely lunch box idea posts floating around the internet over the last couple of days that I got all enthusiastic and cooked up a storm yesterday. I don’t think my kids have any appreciation for how pretty their lunch looked today though. I made these cheese […] 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…

Saturday morning pancakes (or pikelets as I keep getting corrected) are a ritual in our house and the best thing about them is that Mr D does the cooking. He can’t understand why the kids start the ‘starvation nagging’ about half an hour after they’ve had breakfast so he was determined to make something that […] Read more…
With the school holidays rapidly approaching I need to get my baking mojo back into action. When the kids are at home they seem to eat ALL THE TIME and if they’re anything like me, the cold weather is going to make them even more hungry! Even since I starting reading the Quirky Cooking blog I’ve started […] Read more…
I love these biscuits and I think I would even go as far as saying that I love them more than Anzacs (and I love Anzacs). I think the other reason I love them is because they are so simple and quick to make and they always go down well with the kids! I made […] Read more…
Technically these aren’t totally sugar-free as they do have apples in them, which still contain fructose. If you want to be super duper good, then you could always leave the apples out. I’ve had one of those weeks, with birthday parties and two school BBQ’s, where I feel like my kids have eaten nothing but […] Read more…
