Lavender & Lemon Sheet Cake

The ultimate picnic cake in a “sheet cake” format, this Lavender and Lemon Cake is not only delicious, it’s easy to transport too. That is not the only reason sheet cakes are cool. They are quick and easy to ice and provide the perfect ratio of cake to icing. If you love this format, you…

Delicious Date Balls

September 18, 2018 by Louise

I’ll admit upfront, I’m a “Date Ball” convert. Love em. Before changing over though, the thought of eating a Date made my face contort and my shoulders hunch. Dates! Ugh! Those are dried, sticky and overly sweet fruit with a gooey texture that moms try and give their kids to get their kilojoule intake up, right? …

Fiery Ginger Chews

August 17, 2018 by Louise

  I was first introduced to Ginger Chews earlier this year by my husband. He did a sailing course, got sea sick and some kind soul presented him with a pack of Gingerbons to alleviate the nausea and save his life. He came home with a packet of these fiery sweets and I finished them….

Lemon Lentil Soup Recipe

Red Lentil and Lemon Soup

August 7, 2018 by Louise

I have never used raw lentils in a soup, until I tried this soup. For some reason I thought they took FOREVER to cook. Turns out, they only take 20 minutes, if that. So, it’s a good enough reason to keep that wholesome looking jar of red lentils in my pantry and a VERY good…

Salted Macadamia Nut Brittle

July 31, 2018 by Louise

I just want to say straight away that I am not a fan of peanut brittle. Nope. But Macadamia nut brittle is different. It’s on a whole new level to Peanut Brittle. It is addictive and I am warning you now that your waist line could go awry. #justsaying. It’s happened to me. I first…

Easy Cheesy Lasagne

July 3, 2018 by Louise

Lasagne, kind of like a pizza dough, always used to scare me. Not to eat it, but to make it. The length of the process! I mean you have to make mince AND cheese sauce AND then layer it.  At least an hour and a half in the kitchen, right? So I avoided making it…

My boys LOVE pizza, I love pizza. Our family loves pizza. We eat pizza a lot. After a visit to my sister in Australia, she showed me how easy it was to make homemade pizzas. She used a recipe out of one of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks. The kids loved it. So, as any mother of…

How to Make Perfect Hummus from Scratch

June 5, 2018 by Louise

Ever wondered how to make Hummus? That healthy dip/paste made from chickpeas that you dip carrot and celery sticks into? Yes, that stuff? It is called Hummus. Some say, “Hugh-miss”, whilst others say “hum-miss” and some say “hom-miss”. However you say it, it is YUMMY and wholesome and it’s easy to make from scratch –…

4-Ingredient Ginger Shots

May 23, 2018 by Louise

Because Winter is virtually here and its the season for flu and all that morbid stuff, I thought (on a happier note) it apt to introduce the juice that will save your soul and sanity from the viral as well as bacterial lurkers of June, July and August. Those party poopers always arrive uninvited so…

Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Glass of Milk

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

May 11, 2018 by Louise

I find it absolutely catastrophic that since my website launched 9 years ago, it has never featured a simple Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. I need the *shock/horror/hands on cheeks* emoticon. Aaaaaaah!!! The only other recipe I had added which is a distant cousin of the choc chip cookie was an oatmeal choc chip cookie recipe I found on…
