At one stage I was blogging regularly about the past weeks menu. Here's the link to the last one I posted, well over a year ago. I don't plan to start this regularly again but thought I'd share some of what's been on our menu in the last 10 days or so. Some of my… Continue reading Some Menu Offerings
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. I used my rissole recipe but… Continue reading Heart Dinner
Fried Rice is a great recipe for using up leftover rice. Alternatively, I'll cook up some rice for this recipe if I have leftover chicken or roast meat. This recipe is adapted from a recipe in the Mothers' & Others' Recipe Book. In the fried rice pictured I have used ham & chopped up twiggy… Continue reading Fried Rice
Last night I had mince out ready to cook but hadn't decided exactly what I was going to make with the mince. At 5 o'clock with my daughter leaving the house about 6pm I had to decide what to cook. I was thinking some sort of savoury mince but we had eaten a few rice… Continue reading Salsa Mince
Last week I managed to make a couple of quiche like slices for my children to try as lunch options. I made No Green Stuff Veggie Slice which I took to my friends house for lunch with a small group of ladies. There were a couple of slices left but my children didn't try it. I also… Continue reading Last Week’s Menu – 13 February 2017
It's been a while since I've posted about what I've been cooking but thought I would start this again. I'm not sure that I'll do it every week especially as I sometimes end up doing the same things. Anyhow here is what was on the dinner menu last week: Monday - Ham steaks & pineapple… Continue reading Last Week’s Menu – 6 Feb 2017
"What's for Dinner?" has been the catch cry of my children since they could talk. Often this would be one of the first things my daughter would ask in the morning when she was little. I started menu planning a few years ago and have found that it helps. I usually plan and shop for… Continue reading What’s for Dinner?
My daughter recently turned 18. She decided to have a Pirate & Fairy kids themed birthday party complete with party games. We held it during the day and about 20 of her friends came. I think partly because both her brother & father both have multiple food intolerances she wanted to cater for everyone's dietary needs.… Continue reading Pirate & Fairy 18th – Food

We were celebrating 2 birthdays. Thursday & Friday- Burritos/Nachos Saturday - Chicken Nuggets (just cut chicken breast into nugget size… Continue reading Last Weeks Menu – 25 April
Last week was a fairly big week, baking wise. I made No-Bake Walnut Cookies (which are stored in the freezer), raw brownie bites (don't tell my husband what's in them!), apple cinnamon muffins, Banana Blueberry Buckwheat Muffins (the recipe uses raspberries but I used blueberries instead), my version of My Kind of Bliss Bliss Balls, chocolate slice and passionfruit slice. The… Continue reading Last Weeks Menu – 15 Feb
