Last Saturday night, while the boys went off to the city to watch the Waratahs play footy, the girls and I went over to a friends house for dinner. My job was to bring the dessert (and wine of course). We’d had such a busy day that I needed to make something that wasn’t going […] Read more…
While I was in South Africa the lovely Lauren from Create Bake Make offered to guest post for me with this delicious thermomix lemon bar recipe. I had all the best intentions to blog throughout my trip, as well as add some guest posts but the internet in South Africa was having none of it!! Trying […] Read more…
We’re well and truly on the count down to Christmas now. I am a little bit obsessed with Christmas cooking shows at the moment – LOVE them. Last night I watched a marathon of Donna Hay’s Christmas, followed by Jamie Oliver’s. I still have Gordon Ramsey, The Great British Bake off Christmas special and lovely Nigella […] Read more…

I attempted to schedule the post while I was sipping wine on the beach over the Easter break but unfortunately it didn’t work. So better late than never – here it […] Read more…
A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine opted to drink a bottle of this revolting looking green juice instead of joining us for our usual mid-morning coffee at our playgroup catchup. We all listened intently as she told us about this 15 day re-boot juicing program she was doing. In all honestly I […] Read more…
Possibly not the prettiest looking scrolls but they were delicious! I made the most DELICIOUS christmas fruit mince the other day. It was so good I had to stop myself from eating it out of the jar with a spoon. It was the first time I’ve ever made it and it was surprisingly easy – […] Read more…
I’ve always wanted to make a proper Christmas Cake from scratch but it’s always seemed a bit ambitious for me! And besides, my mum has always made the Christmas Cake and it just seems like a ‘mummy’ thing to do at Christmas. Newsflash……. I am the mummy now – eeeek!!! Seems a bit surreal when […] Read more…
