The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land!
I was lucky enough to have the day off today to attend to some appointments and this afternoon the dancing daughter and I not only did some “speed baking” of treats and a welcome home mini-cake for the six foot teenagers girlfriend (lucky gal has been in Hawaii!), but we also thought that a spot [...]
Wednesday is here again and we are all looking forward to the upcoming 3 day weekend! I just hope the weather holds out as the June long weekend is NOTORIOUS for bad weather (i.e. 2007 Newcastle Floods!) It’s Wednesday so it’s time for some mid-week makeover inspiration. Gee, what a surprise what’s on the menu [...]
Today was absolutely miserable with a very cold, wet, windy day. The perfect day to stay inside. Despite my vow to myself NOT to make myself crazy with an insanely long to-do list, I did just that. Also, everyone was home and bored so it wasn’t just me making myself crazy Still, I got A [...]
Today was a mammoth day that was packed full of information on a work trip, the six foot teenager came home from a 3 day school retreat that was horrible, the dancing daughter achieved a prestigious opportunity, and hubby worked a super long day. Racing into the driveway after Pilates to whip up some dinner, [...]
It’s Mid Week YAY! And today I thought we would change it up from Mid Week Makeover and look for a low fat and crowd pleasing Weight Watchers recipe. A few years ago, my former team was offered Weight Watchers at Work which was a fabulous initiative in wellness. Not only did we have a [...]
Today was SUPER busy in the test kitchen but I did manage to find the time for a cuppa and chat with a friend and then a walk with the dancing daughter in the beautiful sunshine. I know the pleasant daytime temperatures won’t be here for much longer, so we are using every last moment [...]
By the time Friday rolls around I am generally to tired to lift a pan to cook dinner. It’s the end of the week, everyone is tired *and* famished, and we need a quick and easy meal to feed the masses that appear at our house each weekend. Friday is also one of those rare [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!!! Today was such a wonderful and glorious day that started with the beautiful sunrise, a showering of gifts from my fantastic family, and an absolutely superb breakfast out with the family and my Mother in Law. We went to Longbench on Darby and, even though Mother’s Day is notorious for service issues, [...]
OK! So EVERYONE knows I have an obsession with Monkey Bread. How proud was I when I remade my Mom’s classic gluten free (on the 475th 4th attempt) and then went on to make Monkey Bread Muffins on the request of a work colleague. I’m not sure why I am so enamoured of this lovely [...]
Tomorrow starts another week and I’ve been prepping food most of the weekend. The kids also head back to school tomorrow so extra lunches, treats and quick dinners are now in our fridge ready for hungry bellies! Today is Slow Cooker Sunday and today it was SUPER sized with 3 slow cookers going at once! [...]
