To celebrate Valentine's Day (or proposal day as it's called in our house) I turned our basic family meal into a heart shaped meal. Our dinner was rissoles served with potato/sweet potato, carrots & peas. My husband even put his sauce on in a heart shape, as pictured above.

What biscuits or baking do you associate with Christmas? For me, growing up we always had shortbread, lemon crunch slice, melting moments & chocolate afghans. All of these recipes were in my mothers recipe ring binder. I think most of them came from my Grandma & I have photocopies of the recipes from my Mum. … Continue reading Baking Up a Storm
The potato salad that I make is always popular but so easy to make. It is a recipe that my mother taught me & in fact she'll be making the potato salad for Christmas Day.
