Butterscotch Pudding
In the earlier years of our relationship, I would frequently visit Monte’s house. I’ve always been a bit besotted with Montague. My grandmothers always told me that fellas like a bit of good cooking, so I collected quite a few recipes before I got hitched to the love of my life. Yesterday I rummaged through […]
Carrot and walnut muffins
I sometimes make these without walnuts because the children go to nut-free school and Childcare, but occasionally it is nice to make this version; it’s a bit more speccy. Ingredients ::1 cup grated carrot ::1/2 cup chopped walnuts ::2 cups wholemeal SRF ::1 cup brown sugar ::1/2 cup golden syrup ::2 eggs ::1 cup milk […]
Spinach and feta quiche
I tell you, having chickens is wonderful! They eat our food scraps and lay eggs for us. We have been eating quiche and custards lately (I will post a recipe for some custards soon). Not so great for our waistlines, but delicious nonetheless. Tonight I made a spinach and feta quiche. It was so delicious; […]
Picnic (and a quiche recipe)
I made a quiche with the eggs our hens laid. Delicious! My recipe is at the end of this post. We headed down to Catamaran, which is near Cockle Creek, which is near ‘The End of the World.’ We went to a very pretty, secluded bay. The area is a popular camping ground but the […]
Baking: muffins and date loaf (recipe)
It has been a little while since I baked, due to being sick and busy etc. This weekend, all my baking was performed with wholemeal flour and less sugar, to make everything healthier. I made blueberry muffins, without chocolate or nuts, so Elora can take them to Childcare. The children were eager to taste these […]
Roasted Cabbage
I know. It’s hard to believe we are having this conversation. Roasted cabbage? I saw a recipe for roasted cabbage on Pinterest. I can’t remember the exact original recipe, but I liked the idea of roasting cabbage. The easiest meals to cook are the ones that you can prepare, shove in the oven or on […]
Bean soup
My weekend routine of cooking at least two soups has turned out to be a lifesaver in this busy household. Having pots of soup in the fridge for the week means that there is always a healthy meal ready when things are too busy to prepare something else. Last weekend I made a different soup: […]
Chicken Tagine
Chicken tagine with lemon, pear and almonds, served with spicy cabbage I like experimenting with cooking, if I have the chance. Yesterday, during a few moments of the children being happily occupied, I made a chicken tagine whilst a large pot of Bolognese simmered on the stove and choc-chip biscuits cooled on the bench. Ingredients […]
