Every good BBQ needs a great coleslaw dish.  I generally find coleslaw recipes to be a bit hit and miss, and bought coleslaw tastes like vinegar, but the dressing I have used in this dish adds a bit of sweetness and it got a thumbs up from my family.  It […]

Coleslaw

  I wanted something quick and easy to wrap up in my Homemade Tortillas this week, so I came up with this slightly spicy Shredded BBQ Beef.  And the best part is it’s a Crockpot Recipe.  That’s right, chuck it all in, then walk away until dinner time. Shredded BBQ […]

Shredded BBQ Beef with Home-made BBQ Sauce

  Think Home-made Tortillas are a little out of your league?  Shame on you!  Even my kids can make these ones, and they have.  It’s another recipe for us to add to our Kids Cookbook this year. We live on Tortillas in this house, and they cost me a small […]

Homemade Tortillas

Plagued by a sudden urge to visit a McDonald’s Drive-through to buy a Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap?  You might like to have a re-think and try these instead.  You could be munching away on their awesomeness in less time than it would take you to grab your keys, jump in […]

Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps

  I feel a cool change may be imminent, so I’m making the most of this beautiful weather and having as many BBQ’s as I possibly can. Hmmm, I’ve probably mentioned that before, but I’m crossing my fingers that these beautiful days stick around this weekend.  Now, we all know […]

Roast Pumpkin, Feta and Spinach Salad

  Whenever I’m planning to bake a cake, the Love of My Life chimes in with “An Orange Cake?”  No dear, not everyone in this house loves Orange Cake more than any other cake in the world.  Some of us like lemons and Chocolate!  And then, if I choose to […]

Glazed Orange Scones

There’s nothing like planning a BBQ only to discover that you have been using it so much lately that you are out of Gas, and there are no BBQ Rocks for the Weber either.  That was me the other night, but not to worry, Mr 8 recently bought me an […]

Moroccan Chicken Kebabs

We don’t entertain much.  It’s not that we don’t like our friends, it’s just that  with so many little ones in the house, by the time the weekend arrives, we are POOPED!!  And the thought of all that cleaning, shopping and preparing is just too much for these two tired […]

Citrus Tart

  I have been so busy exercising my Mummyness lately (that’s code for cleaning and re-organising my house) that I haven’t had time to share some of the great recipes I collected from my mother-in-law’s stash of cookbooks.  But today I have decided to take a quick break and share […]

Ginger Beef

Yesterday Miss 3 (almost four now!) and I dropped the big kids off at school and then headed off to pick up Grandma and take her to Grandparents Day at our Kindy.  We LOVE our Kindy!  Which is probably why for the past 7 years one, and sometimes two of […]
