It was a coldish and wet day yesterday. Comfort food day. We’ve been having so many salads lately I really wanted a good old vegetable fest. Vegetable Gratin 2 carrots, thinly sliced 1 sweet potato, thinly sliced big chunk pumpkin, thinly sliced 3 potatoes, thinly sliced bunch asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into 1 […]
Or kinder, or work, or creche, or whatever else requires you to start wracking your brains about packing lunches. Lunch is my least liked meal of the day. I don’t heart thinking about it. I try and avoid thinking about it by having a checklist of ideas floating around the kitchen. I thought I’d share […]
Day Nine in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning. Today is all about cleaning out the fridge, using everything up and making sure we have snacks for the car. We’re leaving early tomorrow morning to drive home. I miss my dog, my thermomix and my sewing machine but with the exception of Bronte, […]

Day Four in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning. We actually had a meal today that I didn’t cook so don’t expect a recipe for lunch! It was delicious. Probably a tad to much chilli though. I like it hot but it killed the actual flavour of the laksa. We ate in the […]
Day Three in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning. I had to do a small shopping top up last night, I bought more bread, eggs, rocket and a massive bunch of coriander. Most of which is already gone. I’m going to have to hit the supermarket again in the next day or so. […]

I thought I’d share mine. I use a […]
My kids have a stock standard favourite for a stinking hot day and we just whipped up a new batch. Our supplies have been rapidly depleted with the recent hot weather. Watermelon icy poles. Simply puree watermelon in a thermomix or food processor and pour into those plactic thingies for making icy poles and freeze. […]
A simple meal tonight by request of First Born. Baked potatoes. I popped a bunch of desirees in the oven (180 degrees) before wandering off to a friend’s for a cuppa. Pricked them with a fork and sprayed them with olive oil first. When we got home I sliced some free range bacon and mushrooms […]
The amount of minutes entirely depends on soft or hard boiled eggs. No lettuce in this one. I want it dense and meal like, no arguments, it’s hot, I cleaned the house, mowed the lawn and did the ironing. I’m done in the kitchen for today. Tuna Salad 1 – 2 eggs per person, boil’em […]
