Today has been another GLORIOUS day in Newcastle with perfect temperatures and a shining sun. I have 5 days to go in my job so spend most of this morning (after I woke up at 3:10 am!!) cooking furiously for the week and for my team. It’s school holidays for the next 2 weeks so [...]
Mac ‘n Cheese. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Yummmmmmm. It was a staple in my life growing up and is still my all time favourite food. I love baked mac ‘n cheese, lobster mac ‘n cheese, boxed mac ‘n cheese……ok really anything mac ‘n cheese! The most fat filled indulgent mac n cheese I have ever had was at [...]
Today is someone special’s birthday. It’s our surrogate daughter the dancing daughter’s friend and we are having a special birthday dinner for her on Sunday. You’ll have to wait to see what else we are making for her but she has requested this spaghetti casserole for her special dinner dish. I made it a while [...]
Lenten update ~ Today I bought a coffee for the complete stranger standing behind me at Gloria Jeans. She was thrilled! Don’t forget to enter the 2nd chance draw for the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker!!

I’ve mentioned that I grew up with the super fabulous boxed version of mac n cheese and was a complete slave to it’s cheesy, scrumptious temptation. No more blue box for me but I still enjoy the best comfort food on the planet. We were invited to some friends’ house and this is what I [...]
Mac ‘n cheese is my ultimate comfort food. I grew up with macaroni and cheese of this variety and admit to loving the cheesy powdered fake stuff. When Easy Mac was invented, I thought all my prayers had been answered……except it has gluten and makes me sick of course! I’m sure the blue box [...]
There’s been a lot of talk about “Bromances” and “man-love” as terms which have been accepted in our vernacular. But what happens when you develop a girly “blogger crush”? I have a couple of bloggers that I follow religiously who inspire and challenge the way I think. But one, in particular, is amazing [...]
I can’t remember eating a lot of pasta as a kid. I’m sure we did, but it just doesn’t stick in my mind. What does stick in my mind is going to a friend’s house and they had a pantry stocked full of Ragu jarred pasta sauce. In my adult life, I’ve [...]
Now you can have both!!! Is it Spagsane or Laghetti? I’ll let you decide but make sure you make this. My family absolutely loved it and I am already planning a veggie version so that I can sample it myself. Just a note, this can be made glutenous just as easily as gluten free. The [...]
