Last week I was talking to my sweetie pie sister and she asked me if the six foot teenager’s favourite treat was a brownie. How did you know? I asked. We had a laugh once I realised that the majority of the Faux Foodie posts revolve around THE brownie. It’s true, we love those sweet [...]
There is only one full day left in November…….OMG I’m not organised for Christmas yet! Usually I am well in front with shopping, wrapping, decorating and planning but, this year, I seem to not be able to get ahead and think maybe I need to reassess everything that is on my plate. You can’t [...]
The super swine I made in the slow cooker was a big hit and has now been “Christmas approved.” Even better news since I had confirmation yesterday that our house will indeed be the venue for Christmas lunch with all the outlaws this year. I really do love having everyone at our house [...]
