Cherry Choc-Chip Cookie Bar Failure!

May 14, 2012

I’ve had a hankering to try out this Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar recipe from Martha Stewart for a while now. I even linked to it in a quick linky love post on Saturday. I figured I would convert the recipe to metric measurements and more Australian ingredients and share my version of the recipe with [...]

Rhubarb Tea Cake Recipe.

May 7, 2012

It’s cold and wet outside, a perfect environment for our Rhubarb to grow like crazy, and a perfect excuse to eat cake! This cake is best eaten warm, straight out of the oven, while curled up under a blanket on the couch, watching a DVD…. or at least that’s what we think! Rhubarb Tea Cake [...]

Rainbow Quiche Recipe – The Wooden Crate kitchenware Give Away.

April 16, 2012

As the nights get colder we are picking the last of our summer veggies. Our always late to ripen tomatoes, the last zucchini and lots of rainbow silverbeet. Rainbow silverbeet, or rainbow chard if you live on the other side of the world, is one of our many ‘bonus plants’. They are a bonus because [...]

Over The Top Chocolate Cookies Plus a Cadbury’s Give Away!

March 26, 2012

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: Rhubarb and Apple Scrolls.

March 19, 2012

We love a good bun in our house, and Monday is ‘bun shop’ day when we stop in at our local little bakery and get an after school treat before running off to tap and ballet. Our little town’s bakery makes the best ever apple scrolls. They are huge and soft and fluffy and appl-ey [...]

Adventures in Cooking From Scratch – Things I want to try.

March 12, 2012

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 [...]

Five Things to Cook with Zucchini.

February 27, 2012

It’s zucchini season again. The time of the year where we try and find a way to eat a zucchini every day so we can keep up with the plants and not to let any grow to the size of base ball bats! It gets easier to accomplish each year as I find more and [...]

Family Food – Lentil-ese (Vegetarian Spaghetti Bolognese)

February 20, 2012

Bolognaise? Or bolognese? Regardless of how you spell it, I am pretty sure this version isn’t anything like the good people of Bologna make. So technically I should call it something entirely different but ‘I can’t believe there’s not meat in it’ bolognaise is kinda a mouthful, so I’m sticking with ‘Lentil-ese’. The name sums [...]

February 3, 2012

I am back making school lunches and next week my big boy will need lunch for kinder (preschool) too, thankfully only once a week, but all of them want to know when I will start leaving notes in their lunch boxes! So I think it’s time for some new lunch box notes. I am not [...]
