Chewy Fruit and Seed Slice {gluten-free, and very, very addictive}

January 21, 2015

Is it too early to start talking about lunchbox snacks? Probably. But with less than one week to go until the new school year begins, I thought it was time to get some healthy snacks on the radar. What actually prompted this post was a visit to the beach in the incredibly cold, wet weather…

Chocolate Chip & Coconut Cakes (gluten-free + dairy-free + egg-free}

November 12, 2014

Call me a soft touch. But when I see a young boy’s face crumple with disappointment because he can’t eat the cakes all the other kids are eating, it calls for an intervention. These mini chocolate chip and coconut cakes are the intervention. They are super-easy, super-quick, and devoid of all those nasties that seem…

Best Ever Date & Banana Bread

September 28, 2014

It’s kind of funny, but not really surprising, that some of my clearest memories of high school relate to food. I was already addicted to baking, and completely obsessed with collecting recipes. I remember staring out of the window during typing class, wondering how soon the lunchtime bell would ring so I could tame my…

Wagon Wheel Slice

Another birthday, another reason to design a new dessert recipe! Alex organised his party this year around a distinctly 1940s theme, so I thought I’d adapt something that was launched around the same time – the Wagon Wheel biscuit… one of his favourite snacks! The original marshmallow and jam sandwiched between two thin shortbread biscuits becomes a…

The Lazy Cook’s Melt and Mix Cocoa Brownies

August 13, 2014

Yup. I’m the lazy one. The Lazy Cook. And impatient, too! Especially when eager to get some of this super-easy, chocolate melty, gooey brownie goodness past my lips! Quick and easy is the name of the game these days! Especially with a little one around, who though now occasionally ‘helping’ me with the baking, also has…

Sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut. Make that all the time. But I like honesty; I prefer to be truthful. So I say it like it is. Or rather, I say what I’m thinking. Not always a good plan. We were out for coffee, two other gal pals and I. One, a dietician,…

“The greatest marriages are built on teamwork. A mutual respect, a healthy dose of admiration, and a never-ending portion of love and grace.” ~Fawn Weaver It’s not often your friend gets married on your birthday. (Yes, my birthday. The big 4-0!) And we got invited. But it’s not like we live in the same state,…

Baby, it’s cold outside! A huge storm came through the other night and threatened to tear the roof off! We had toys still outside, and clothes on the washing line, and I was convinced nothing would be there in the morning. Thankfully, I was wrong. The air is washed clean and I can even see some…

When you see him eating cake for breakfast, you know you’re onto a good thing. Being the proud baker that I am, it makes my heart sing when Alex enjoys what I create in the kitchen. It can be a bit of a hit and miss thing because we tend to like different things. But I…

It won’t surprise you to learn that I spend a fair amount of my down time drooling over foodie blogs and web sites. Sometimes I read them properly; sometimes I just browse for recipes. The smitten kitchen, one of the most popular foodie sites on-line, is always worth a read. Turns out Deb and I…

We don’t have many traditions in my family of origin; we are more likely to eschew a tradition than maintain one – non-conformist is our rule of thumb! Growing up we never had a Christmas tree (except the year when Mum, in desperation, strung together a few palm fronds and draped them with tinsel). We…

Harmony Day 21 March is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home – from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world. www.harmony.gov.au One of the great things about this nation is that everyone here is a migrant, or from a migrant…
