My love for the bliss ball is never ending which means I am always coming up with new flavour combinations. This time I have tried a Quinoa and Choc Chip version. I had cooked a batch of quinoa to make my Gluten Free Chocolate Cake and had a cup left so I decided to experiment […]
Slow Cooker Oyster Blade Steak and Vegetable Stew
In an attempt to balance work and coming home late after school pick ups I am vowing to cook one slow cooker meal a week. I am hoping this will help combat the I AM STARVING comment from the boys every afternoon as we get home close to normal dinner time. This week is the […]
Five Ingredient Ham, Vegetable and Noodle Cups
This year I am trying to combat what I call “sandwich fatigue” in the boys lunchboxes. I find that it is so easy to make a sandwich that I get stuck in the rut of making them everyday and then the boys return with them half eaten because they are “sick of eating sandwiches”. These […]
Pepperoni, Broccoli and Cheese Fritters
Let’s be honest, I have NOT felt like cooking this past week thanks to the steamy humid conditions we are currently experiencing on the Gold Coast. Come dinner time and I’m like meh it’s too hot to even think about eating let alone cooking. Luckily it’s the school holidays and we have been eating dinner […]

Baked Eggnog Cheesecake
Every year I look forward to buying the cartons of eggnog from the supermarket. Sure I could make it but it’s a little tradition we have been doing each year and the boys love picking it out of the fridge at the supermarket and the carton is so festive, they love it. I sometimes sneak […]
Chocolate Caramel Crown Ice Cream Cheesecake
One of my lovely friends came over with her two boys for a swim in the pool and an early dinner and dessert last week. I made homemade pizzas and she bought over this amazing Chocolate Caramel Crown Ice Cream Cheesecake. It was such a delicious dessert and a perfect way to end a great […]
