If I asked my boys what they would like for dinner I would get back a few standard responses, pasta, sausages, pizza! I have never been asked for a salad, spinach or zucchini (but they have eaten many of these without knowing) so my green hating boys continue to eat them in the many dishes […]
No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Squares
Who loves the combination of peanut butter and honey on toast? It’s my treat breakfast on the weekends. These no bake peanut butter oat squares have only three ingredients, you’ve probably guessed them already – peanut butter, rolled oats and honey. Too easy.

Coconut Health Bars
I was looking through the box of The Australian Women’s Weekly Recipe Card Library circa early 1980’s that mum had passed down to me for some back to basic recipes for the lunchbox and snacks.

I also find myself experimenting with different combinations and using up things that need to be eaten (like the 5 small apples that were past being ok to eat, but still good for cooking with). This […]
Upside Down Peach Cake
What I love most about an upside down cake is the moment you tip the cooked cake over onto a plate and carefully remove the pan to reveal your lovely fruit creation sitting there all proud like on top of the cake. You then have a little smile to yourself in relief it didn’t stick […]
