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…
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. These loaded thermomix Christmas cookies are so simple to make you could do them with your eyes closed. They are also so […] Read more…
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. This thermomix snow cake looks so pretty on any Christmas table and it really does make the most perfect afternoon tea on the […] Read more…

I was all ready to post last week and then I realised I had completely missed Thursday and it was Friday already. The lead up to Christmas is getting busier by the minute and clearly I’m […] Read more…
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only a hop, skip and a jump away now. It’s done it’s usual trick of sneaking up and catching me off guard. It’ll just be the five of us for Christmas this year so I’ve been trying to think about what to cook. I want to be organised […] Read more…
So who’s celebrating Halloween tomorrow?? My kiddies are so excited. Miss H has changed her mind about what to dress up as about a hundred times this week. We’ve gone from a witch to a ghost, to Queen Elsa (of course) and back to the ghost again! Master J is still deciding whether it’s or […] Read more…
Miss H’s birthday is right slap bang in the middle of the Easter school holidays. You’d think it would be much more fun to have your birthday in the holidays but she is devastated because she wanted to take ‘cakes’ in for all her class at school!! Poor little thing I did feel for her. […] Read more…
