The Almighty Anzac Biscuit
You really can’t go past a good Anzac biscuit and whether its a thick chewy cookie or one of the thin tough ones, I’m always a fan. They’re a good backup bikkie you can make without having to leave the house for more supplies. This makes them even better I swear. This recipe is for…
Chocolate Zucchini Bread
“Why?” If you’re anything like my husband, that’s what your response to Chocolate Zucchini Bread was. Why put zucchini with chocolate and ruin perfectly good chocolate, you might say.

Bright Blueberry and Beetroot Bircher Muesli
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I’m sure you’ve all heard that before, and if you’re like me you’ll agree. I think I’ve mentioned in a previous post about my issues with hanger. It’s a real problem. Suddenly I’ll turn into an angry lion hunting for prey; anything that gets in my…

Strawberry Mousse made with only the best from Otway Strawberries
A shoot in a strawberry patch has been on my shoot wish list for a while now, so you can imagine how excited I was when Otway Strawberries asked us to come out and take a look at their strawberry patch! We took advantage of the school holidays and took a few of my littlest…
A Firey Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve in my family is pretty low-key and I love it. We sit together on the couch, drink in hand, and watch the carols on TV. Delicious food is a given too. This year I think we’ll spice things up from the usual glass of wine. I’m sure Santa would appreciate it if we…
