If you live in Australia, you know Coles. And you may have seen a commercial on TV where chef Curtis Stone takes a woman and her daughter shopping for ingredients for his fettuccine bolognese recipe. The cost of the ingredients for the recipe is supposed to be under $10. I’m a Woolies girl myself, and I’m [...]

Wow, a whole seven days without a post, what am I coming to? I have been a little busy over the Easter holidays and while I haven’t quit baking, I have had less time to spend on the computer. Now that the holidays are over, I hope to resume some sort of normality. To make [...]

I’ve been trying to expand into other types of recipes, other than just sweets. I realize this is The Sweetest Kitchen, but I figure that I should include some tasty savory recipes as well, to counteract the sweetness, just a bit. So I’ve been visiting the library and borrowing some recipe books. One of my [...]

We all try to feed our children healthy foods, but I’m pretty sure that most moms would have to admit that just sometimes we let the sweets get a little out of control. We keep a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the kitchen and luckily my 4-year-old daughter loves fresh, raw fruits and [...]

As an accompaniment to my spaghettti with mushrooms and garlic I decided to try a recipe from the lastest Taste of Home magazine for parmesan knots. This recipe uses refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough (I used Pillsbury) as the base for the knots, which makes these easy and quick to bake up. They taste great, like a [...]

I realize I haven’t posted a new recipe in 5 days now, so I apologize for that! No, I haven’t had my baby yet – I’m currently at 38 weeks and 4 days. My mom has been staying with us in these last few days of my pregnancy, so we’ve been too busy talking to [...]

I’m a big fan of baked pastas, so when I saw this recipe in my Taste of Home magazine (the June & July 2009 issue) I couldn’t pass it up. I’m so glad I decided to make this, it turned out really well and gave us three nights of dinners. I did have to make [...]

It would be safe to say that my all-time favorite food is sushi. Well, everyone knows that pregnant women shouldn’t eat sushi because of 1) bacteria from being stored improperly and 2) mercury levels in fish. So you can probably imagine how much I have missed sushi during all three of my pregnancies. I’m almost [...]

I get a lot of different cravings, and I blame that on being pregnant! This time, it was Mexican, and I made chimichangas! These were actually much easier to make than I thought they would be, and they tasted so nice! I left out the chopped green chilies in the white sauce, but if I [...]

This dinner was inspired by Not Without Salt. It’s broccoli pesto. I’ve never actually had any pesto of any sort that I’m aware of, so I was interested to try this out. The “recipe” is posted at the link above to Not Without Salt, but you’ll see it’s not exactly a recipe. It basically says [...]
