Gourmet Garden Blog Off /Cook off.
If I wasn’t busy enough with moving house and unpacking and consulting with builders and dealing with holes in our downstairs ceiling, I decided on a whim to participate in a blogging cooking competition! Yes, I know, my kitchen is a disgusting pit of neglect with no cupboard doors, a massive water leak underneath the [...]
Girls night in – hoisin duck pizza
My Mum has requested a few recipes that we made together while she was over here a few weeks ago. Its good to have some filler blog posts while I get my head straight. I am feeling MUCH happier today thank you!Last week I had the girls over for a lingerie party. I know, I [...]
Can’t post, won’t post.
I cant post tonight because I was out late night shopping and eating delicious Thai food with two special friends and I ran out of time! I love it when my real life gets in the way of my online life, instead of the other way around!
Summer meal planning.
Now that the weather is warming up, I need to bust out the summer food menu so I can get meal planning again. Meals since Mum and Dad and my sister and her boyfriend left have been haphazard to say the least. Last night Ron ate a left over chicken kiev with a bowl of [...]
Craftyness, of the marmalade variety.
This Winter I made another few batches of my marvellous orange marmalade and I took lots of photographs of the finished product because I was so proud! We totally raided the next door tree and Ron managed to collect over 100 oranges over the period of two weeks when the house was vacated by the [...]
Meal plan Monday: mini choc-chip muffins
I have had a frugal few weeks thanks to a clever meal plan and a great grocery shop where I spent $175 on mostly fruit and veg which managed to last us ten days! The meals I made during that time included: chicken and veg rice paper rolls with dipping sauce, chicken stirfry, various salads [...]
Feed me……
Things my children have eaten today in no particular order: a raw crumpet a bowl of nutrigrain with milk a whole mango a banana a bowl of yogurt a packet of instant noodles a whole punnet of strawberries half a bag of bacon cheese ball (crisp/chip type things) two strawberry milks a piece of cheese [...]
Would you, could you, eat a donut burger?
A week or so ago I left a comment on one of my must-read blogs A Cajun Down Under. I love Christy’s blog and have followed her recent adventures back home to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and salivated over her diary of some of the food she enjoyed, aptly titled Cajun P0rn! My comment was a [...]
FOOD…..
This week I have been a domestic goddess. I woke up on Monday morning after a Sunday afternoon adventure (blog post about that coming tomorrow… stay tuned, its a goodie!) and I decided that I need to cut out the crap from my diet. I have been at bootcamp since the beginning of the year [...]
Slinky apple.
Before my birthday we went down to stay with our friends in South Sydney, we play cards with them and have known them forever, our kids get along, its a brilliant night away and we all look forward to it! At Myf and Jason’s they offered the girls an apple after dinner and then used [...]
Meals with beef mince – Baked enchiladas.
This one is for you Rosie! I posted this over at my food blog Make your mince up in the way that you prefer. I like to use a kilo of premium mince which I brown, remove from the pan and fry onions, capsicum, garlic and celery until softened. Add back the mince and I [...]
Birthday brunch – a recap
On Sunday Amy and I celebrated our birthdays with some of our favourite people. Instead of our annual birthday BBQ we decided to shake it up and have brunch, croissants, bacon & eggs on the bbq, fizzy wine and fresh O.J. Perfect! Amy’s suprise guest was a clown called Pajamas who kept her audience enthralled [...]
Salmon & Caramelised Onion Quiche
I have had a craving for quiche for a while now, strange because its not really quiche and salad weather! But the last two days have been much more mild and so today I finally did it, I made my own pastry and created my own quiche recipe. Then when the girls were in bed [...]
Shopping showdown
Anyone who knows me in real life would know that I am a bit cheap, I like a good bargain and not spending money has been my full time job for a while now. Yesterday was my five year anniversary of being a stay-at-home-mum. On the 18th May 2006 I walked out of my job at [...]
Meal Plan Monday
Dinner tonight is above, my Mum’s sweet and sour sausage stew, its one of my ultimate favourites and a real comfort food, perfect for cold weather and head colds. Sweet & Sour Sausage Stew. The quantities are easily adjustable, more sausages, more sauce, more veg depending on how many you are cooking for and [...]
Recipe time – bran and poppy seed blinis
A few people have asked me for the recipe for the blinis that I made for our Royal Wedding High Tea. This is a recipe given to me by my Mum which was given to her by a close friend of hers, Maralyn. Thanks Maralyn! Bran and Poppy Seed Blinis. 1/2 cup of self-raising flour [...]
Meal Plan Monday – on a thursday
I have the best of intentions at the beginning of the week but the reality is that I have more time for myself and planning and organising, at the end of the week. So Meal Plan Monday is now brought to you after my grocery shop, on a Thursday! This week’s meals have been: Monday [...]
Meal Plan Monday – edition 2
After last week’s credit card statement and subsequent child-eating-money fiasco, a few things have to change. Firstly, no more playing with money. Secondly, no more spending money. So Meal Plan Monday is back with a vengeance. I am really pleased to announce that I have not had to do a big grocery shop since last [...]
Food.
Still talking food. Please tell me friends, how do you get your children to eat an adventurous and varied diet? Seriously. How often do you cook mushrooms? I don’t like raw mushrooms but I love cooked mushrooms, but even so, no mushrooms on my meal plan for the last few months. So why am I [...]
Monday Meal Plan.
This was supposed to be posted yesterday but I was inspired to blog about one of the surprise benefits of being a parent instead! I have been meal planning for over a year now and still love planning out meals and going through my little red moleskin diary to see what we have eaten in [...]
