Caramel Butter Cake

February 8, 2011

In my family there is a definite ‘birthday season’. It starts December 12th with my youngest sons birthday, and extends until February 24th which is my birthday (I only mentioned that as you all have time to get my presents ready ). So that’s pretty much 2 solid months of birthdays with Christmas and New [...]

Spaghetti and Meatballs

February 3, 2011

Who doesn’t love meatballs? They are just one of those feel good meals that nobody complains about. You know that conversation you have with the kids around 5pm every evening (time may vary depending on your family routine) that goes something like this… Kid: ”What’s for dinner Mum” Mum: ” One of your favourites, it’s [...]

Brisbane Floods and Freezers

January 19, 2011

Well what a start to the New Year it has been. In my part of the world (Brisbane, Australia) we have been absolutely inundated with water, culminating in the floods that hit world headlines last week. Luckily, we live in a part of town that was not affected. To be living so close to such [...]

Lilly Pilly Homemade Jelly

December 8, 2010

I got a call from my friend Wendy a few weeks ago that went something like this: Wendy – “I’m going to pick some lilly pillies – do you want some?” Me – “I guess so, what are you going to do with them?” Wendy – “Make some jam” Me – “OK, sounds like a [...]

Fruit Ice Blocks

November 29, 2010

With only a couple of days until Summer is here, it is no coincidence that the kid’s requests for ice blocks has increased. It’s one of those things in life that is directly proportionate (sorry, that’s the scientist coming out in me) – the hotter it gets, the more ice blocks are consumed. Of course, [...]

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

November 18, 2010

Whenever mushrooms are in abundance in my fridge, I have two go-to recipes – Two Mushroom Risotto and Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff. Both use a good pile of the mushrooms up and are enjoyed by everyone. In fact, one of my beloved’s favourite dishes is Beef Stroganoff, so it’s always one that is met with [...]

Rhubarb (and a little bit of apple) Crumble

November 11, 2010

Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb. I don’t know how, but this is an ingredient that slipped under my radar for far too long. Particularly since my Mum used to have a huge patch of it in the backyard when we lived in Canberra (I think she secretly kept it all for herself). It’s only in the last [...]

Roast Pork Steak Recipe with Potatoes & Feta

November 4, 2010

A meal that involves only one pan is always a winner in my books – particularly if it also happens to taste great. Whether it be in a slow cooker, frying pan or roasting pan, just piling all the ingredients in and letting them cook away (with an occasional stir), is going to save time. [...]

Prawn Curry Recipe

October 28, 2010

Since I’ve been on a bit of a curry bent lately (My Roti Recipe, Slow Cooker Chicken Curry) and I thought I’d finish off the ‘series’ with a family favourite – Prawn Curry. This Prawn Cury Recipe is an oldie, but a goodie that has been made many, many times and enjoyed many, many times. [...]

Slow Cooker Chicken Curry with Lentils and Pumpkin

October 21, 2010

As discussed in my last Indian themed post (My Roti Recipe), I have been experimenting making curries. Not only have I been using traditional methods, I’ve also been experimenting in the slow cooker (or crockpot). In the past I have found that a slow cooker beef curry is to die for as the meat becomes [...]
