My son has spent the last month in a cast. This is the second time this year. Earlier in the year he broke the scaphoid bone in his right wrist after falling off his skateboard. This time he hurt his left wrist and although no break was showing on the x-ray they put a cast… Continue reading In a Cast Again!

Porcupine Meat Balls
My son likes these porcupine meat balls, however my daughter is not so keen on them. So when she wasn't eating at home a few weeks ago I decided to make them. I usually combine a couple of recipes to make my porcupines so I thought that I should record how I make them. One… Continue reading Porcupine Meat Balls
Last Weeks Menu – 2 November
Last Weeks Menu was really not planned. Since I worked Monday, my usual menu planning and shopping day, I just did a quick shop after work and bought what I thought we might need. This did mean a few extra trips to the shop. So the dinners that we did end up having were: Monday… Continue reading Last Weeks Menu – 2 November
Walking My Way to Fitness
Until just over a month ago I had really let me fitness slide this year. I need to be fit not only to stay healthy but to look after my family. Just over 5 weeks ago when it was school holidays and we were staying on the Sunshine Coast I started walking again. It was… Continue reading Walking My Way to Fitness
Easy Roast Beef Frittata
What to do with the leftover roast meat? As a child we often had meat fritters with tomato sauce spread on top. I haven't found a good gluten free fritter recipe yet.

Lunches again mostly involved… Continue reading Last Week’s Menu – 26 September
Last Weeks Menu – 19 Oct
Last week I got back to making my own almond milk again by simply used soaked almonds and blending with chilled water, straining in a nut milk bag and using. I used this with breakfast some days or in some of my baking/cooking. This week I made another GF spiced sultana bread to take to a… Continue reading Last Weeks Menu – 19 Oct
Last Weeks Menu – 12 Oct
My week involved less baking as I ended up working on more days than I thought I would. Fortunately I still had some baked goodies in the freezer. As it was a public holiday here last Monday I made melting moments and sultana bread which has been useful for breakfast as well as snacks. I… Continue reading Last Weeks Menu – 12 Oct
