Food, Glorious Food!

Big, Fat, Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and a Sandwich Wrap Give Away.

October 26, 2011

Do your kids chop and change their minds about what they will and won’t eat in their school lunches?? My girls will happily eat fruit slice every day for a month, and then suddenly, one day they bring it home untouched declaring that they don’t like it, it’s disgusting and if I ever dare put [...]

Lovely Links – Lets Make Bread

September 24, 2011

I’m not sure what’s come over me, but lately I’ve been busy making bread, lots and lots of bread! Before you think I am total whiz in the kitchen, rest assured that I use our trusty bread machine to do all the hard work. I let it mix, knead and rise the dough the first [...]

Family Food – Fruit Sponge Dessert.

September 12, 2011

Desert or Dessert?
No matter how many little rhymes or tricks I read about I never seem to be able to remember which is which! But who cares how you spell it, as long as it tastes good right?

At the Pickle Farm we like a special treat every now and then, and one of our favourite treats is an easy fruit sponge dessert (I think that’s right?).

Family Food – Cornies Biscuits

August 15, 2011

I was invited to brunch last week. I don’t often get invited to ‘brunch’. I guess I am not really a ‘brunch’ kind of person. I mean in a perfect world I’d eat breakfast at 10am every day, so who needs brunch? But not only was I invited by the lovely Louisa from Brand Meets [...]

Thousands of Biscuits!

July 25, 2011

It’s no wonder that my girls like to roll their eyes, I’m sure it’s hereditary. When they both looked me dead in the eye and quiet seriously told me that could only eat tiny teddies in their school lunches because my home made biscuits were too big and took too long to eat, I’m pretty [...]

Lovely Links – Baaaconnn

July 24, 2011

I don’t like bacon, but the darn stuff is all over the internet at the moment. I used to like bacon, then I got pregnant with our middle child and suddenly even the thought of bacon made me want to hurl. That was more than four years ago, and I still can’t stomach it. The [...]

Face Biscuits

June 27, 2011

When life is insanely busy, when you have no roof or walls on your kitchen, when you’ve promised your boy that you will bring a birthday treat to preschool…. what do you do?? You make face biscuits that’s what you do! You’ll need… A packet (or two) of marie biscuits, or any plain round biscuits. [...]

Ten Survival Tips for Renovation Cooking

June 20, 2011

I’m currently ‘cooking under plastic’ or that should be ‘trying to cook under plastic’. The current state of our renovations means that our kitchen has only one wall and no roof. The current state of the weather means that the tarpaulin that is supposed to be saving the kitchen from the elements is slowly being [...]

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 [...]
