Something Sebastian and I love doing together is jumping in the kitchen and doing a spot of baking. I will admit, I am not 100% sure if he loves the baking side of it or the licking the bowl / beaters afterwards?!? All the same I love the time we spend together and there is always hope that this will turn into a love of baking. Another thing I love is Summer and the warmer weather it brings with it. What I'm not that keen about is the fact fruit goes off so quickly … [Read more...]

Decadent Cadbury Jaffa Slice
If you follow me on Social Media you may have seen that over the weekend a couple of bars of the Cadbury Jaffa chocolate conveniently, by accident made their way into my hot little hands.

If not, go out and buy yourself a bar/packet or three... Right. Now. This stuff is special and I have sent my darling hubby out on a mercy dash on more than one occasion for some (because, you know - the baby wanted it)! One of my fondest memories as a child were Summer days spent at the beach, followed by a car ride … [Read more...]
Roasted Strawberries
I tried Roasted Strawberries for the very first time a few Summer's ago, when a family friend mentioned how good they were. At the time we were on a picnic and a lot of the conversation went on around why would you roast them when they are just so yummy and delicious fresh. Now in the past I would probably have felt the same way... except in the peak of the season, strawberries are four punnets for $5 and I am the only one in our household who eats them (Sebastian has one or two a … [Read more...]
