“I don’t want a birthday cake” my just turned six year old declared. “I want a birthday pudding!” So that’s what he got- chocolate self-saucing pudding with candles! It was a bit of a strange request, but I can’t say I blame the birthday boy. There is nothing better than warm, gooey, chocolatey […]
Seven ways to encourage kids to consume more milk!
This post is sponsored by Dairy Australia Three out of my four kids don’t drink milk. In fact, they would rather eat their cereal dry than add milk to it! Personally I think that is all kinds of wrong (dry cereal? You have to be kidding!), but over the years I’ve learned that it’s much […]
Apple and Oat Bars
When life gives you apples… um… bake lots of things with apples in them? We were given yet another big bag of apples this week, and since my freezer is already full of apple sauce, and I can’t face cutting, dipping and drying any more apple slices, the only thing left to do is bake […]
Cheaters Lemon and Berry Strudel
We had a fancy afternoon tea on the weekend. I whipped up this amazing lemon and berry strudel, using my awesome culinary skills, in no time flat. Ok fine, I confess, unless you call defrosting a sheet of puff pastry and turning on the oven skill, I didn’t use any culinary skills at all to […]
Family Food – Fruit Sponge Dessert.
Desert or Dessert?

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?).
Apple and Cinnamon Baked Pancake
So I have this great giant baked berry pancake of awesomeness recipe that really and truly is awesome. My kids bug me to make it all the time, but it involves egg whites, whipping them to be exact, and sadly, my total-cheapskate-only-costs-me-five-buck-second-hand electric mixers broke. They broke! I’m still in shock. I thought these ancient […]
Honey and Banana Muffins
What do you do with a bunch of bored, starving, children on a wet and miserable Friday afternoon? Stick a giant piece of paper to the table and instruct them to fill it with drawings while you bake muffins, that’s what you do. Even my big kids can’t resist the lure of a big sheet […]
Kids Can Cook – Basic Vanilla Cake
My twelve year old has made this basic vanilla cake four times in the past three weeks. Man, it is so good when your kids are old enough to cook something, from scratch, without any help, and clean up after themselves. This is a really basic cake recipe, and it’s very forgiving. If you don’t […]
