The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land!
Before I started my new position I had a few days where I would test recipes on my former (awesome) admin team to see whether I was on track or needed to go back to the drawing board. It was such fun to be given a rating each day and this recipe was no different! [...]
I was so happy when Pink Lady apples started showing up again at the fruit shops and we are now well and truly in full swing of apple season. At my house, we go through an inordinate amount of apples. Seriously, I think I buy them every second day! We eat an awful lot of [...]
I am ALWAYS on the lookout for breads to try and when I noticed a Facebook post for this bread in stock locally I knew I would Road Test it for you, dear readers. Let me tell you more……see, a local business recently opened in Newcastle that provides organic and gluten free groceries as well [...]
These weren’t supposed to be Oatmeal Raisin (although they have been high on my craving list). These were supposed to be something completely different but……. FAIL!!!!! So I needed a muffin and I needed it STAT. Short on time, patience and ingredients, I decided to amend my previous 3 ingredient muffins for a quick [...]

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 [...]
Joyfulness and Weekend Breakfast……… It’s very hard NOT to be optimistic today! I cancelled Pilates today after there was an instructor switch (the awesome Jess Nall was unavailable today) so I had some spare time this morning. Plus the dancing daughter is really sick so there was no running from Pilates to pick her up [...]
