A bunch of Cadbury’s Chocolate was delivered to my door the other day. Some family blocks, a few smaller bars and some packets of the new buttons. Some days it is good to be a blogger. The Father Figure and I chomped our way through a family block. He took the bars to work for […]
Adventures in Cooking From Scratch – Things I want to try.
It’s a holiday Monday here today, and that’s my excuse for this lazy post. That, and the fact that the last two ‘from scratch’ items I’ve cooked haven’t quite worked out the way I wanted, so I don’t have any perfect results or recipes of my own to share today. So instead I am sharing […]

Adventures in Cooking From Scratch – Back to School Snacks.
I’ve been living in denial for the last week or so, but there is no getting away from it… my girls go back to school on Thursday and my big boy has orientation at ‘grown-up kinder’ (ie 4 year old preschool). That means I am back making the dreaded school lunches, and this year I […]
Thinking About Food – Cooking From Scratch
We are all still enjoying the lazy days of summer holidays, and no one more so than me! No set bed times or getting up times, being able to plan as much or as little to do as we please, eating at whatever time suits our activities for the day, and long stretches swinging in […]
