After the weekend’s birthday celebrations, one thing I did not feel like doing today was cooking. Rare but true. Even so, it’s only just occurred to me as I type this that take away is the common option for nights such as tonight. It’s just not something that occurs to me more than once in […]
Just the veg and haloumi alone would be enough for me. The carboholics in the family demanded more so I added some dried Chinese noodles. A squeeze of lemon juice is all this dinner needs.
Today was another wonderful, warm Melbourne spring day. Complete with somewhat annoying trademark Melbourne gale force winds. The Ankle Biters and I were out the door by 7.45am and on our way to the farmers market at Collingwood Children’s Farm. As were half the inhabitants on Melbourne (or so it seemed). photo by pinkcocoa, some […]
Today was officially the first short sleeve and sandal day of spring in Melbourne. Utter bliss. Made even more enjoyable by my freshly spring cleaned windows. I’m in my happy place. Just as at the start of the colder weather, soup is a fabulous meal that it seems impossible to tire of, the advent of […]
Its true. Pizza actually saves lives. It’s saved multiple lives at Chez KP today. First and foremost, it’s saved my life. With the gardening fenzy I embarked on and the destruction frenzy Lil Miss embarked on today, any more dinner preparation than pulling some dough out of the freezer and throwing toppings at it when […]
When the Ankle Biters insist on rising at 4.30am and I have to spend three hours of the morning in the pool, I tend to run a little short of energy in the afternoon. Even more so when I cut the tip off my finger and bleed like a stuck pig for hours on end. […]
It’s been quite a while since I posted a 10 minute meal. Today I needed it. I was missing a vital ingredient for my planned meal and got buried deep in laundry. So this is what I came up with. Seafood and Goat Cheese Pasta. pasta of choice (with 10 minutes or less cooking time) […]
Today we had a play day at Son and Heir’s kinder for the Ankle Biters and Dad’s (or other significant male). It was a lovely morning for all involved. The highlight of the morning seemed to be morning tea time. To keep things simple, everyone who came brought a plate to share. At Son and […]
Have you seen Cold Comfort Farm? Or read it? If you haven’t you should. Read and see it, both versions are brilliant. No idea why fritters for lunch made me think of it but I must haul the DVD out for my regular viewing. Anyhoo, back to business. I whipped these little fritters up in […]
In a word. Versatility. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Throw anything you like in and it’s a whole new meal. Always quick and easy, always delicious. Great for using up leftovers, easy on the budget. This morning, breakfast at Chez Kitchen Playground was scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, spring onions, a few drops of […]
