Do you love macaroni and cheese but think it’s a bit of a chore to make? I’ve got just the recipe for you then – it only has 3 ingredients and it’s ready in under 10 minutes. My friend, Kristy, got me started on almond milk a while ago and since then I’ve always had…

Kitchenware Direct Products Review + Prawn & Asparagus Stir Fry With Black Rice
For someone who loves cooking and eating Asian-style stir fries, it’s a wonder I’ve made it this far without a wok. I’ve just been using my stainless steel frying pans for stir frying. I mainly choose stainless steel because it’s not coated in Teflon, or other questionable material, that flakes off so easily. I’ve never…
Cauliflower Steaks With Olive & Herb Salsa
I know I haven’t updated in nearly a month; please forgive me! If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll know I haven’t stopped baking and cooking. I just haven’t had time to take photos on anything other than my phone, let alone transfer those photos to the computer, edit and watermark them, and write…
Bacon & Mushroom Pizza + Bonus Cupcakes
My daughter comes up with some pretty cool ideas sometimes (but most of the time her ideas are pretty wacky!) and two of those ideas have made their way onto this blog in the past. These vanilla, raspberry and white chocolate cupcakes were the first to make it to the blog; next, her wonderful Madderneine…
Lentil Bolognese
Wow, the school holidays have been crazy; I am so glad the kids go back to school on Tuesday, but Tuesday cannot come quick enough. Here’s a brief summary as to what we’ve been up to…
Kid-Friendly Tuna Pasta Salad
Isn’t it funny how when moms of young children get together, all they do is talk about children? One of the most popular topics, I’ve found, is food. “My child won’t eat vegetables” or “My child eats anything” or “My child won’t eat anything but sausages” or even “My child won’t eat anything at all!”! …
Yoghurt Week: Mashed Potatoes
Today’s recipe featuring yoghurt is mashed potatoes. I have a long-term relationship with mashed potatoes; I have always loved this simple and classic side dish. Believe it or not, I actually grew up with instant mashed potatoes. Yes, I can see some of you wrinkling your noses at that! It’s all I knew at the…
Yoghurt Week: Cold Chobani-Sesame Noodles
Yoghurt week is coming along nicely, don’t you think? This is day number four and I’ve got a good dish for summer to share. I was reluctant to cook the recipe, however, because of my experience with whole wheat spaghetti in the past; it seems to stay more firm than I prefer my pasta to…
Yoghurt Week: Macaroni & Cheese
When I placed all those tubs of Chobani yoghurt (see previous post) in my refrigerator, I didn’t expect anyone else to be eating them but myself. But I was surprised to find a tub missing the next day. I knew it wouldn’t have been my children; my daughter hates yoghurt, and my two boys only…
2 Delicious Pasta Recipes
I love trying out new pasta recipes. Recently I’ve made 2 really lovely ones that I need to share with you. The first one is a recipe from one of my favorite cooks, Nigella Lawson. Her recipe for pappardelle with lamb ragu can be found on her website. I was attracted to this recipe because…
