Due to my well-known status as an inveterate cat lady (or barren baby-hating witch* to my friends), I like to expend my excess maternal energy on my cats (which they just love, let me tell you).
*Note: I don’t actually hate babies. I actually quite like them when they belong to someone else, and have even been known to call one cute (shh don’t tell anyone). I can’t refute the witch thing though.
Every now and again, a recipe comes along that is so perfect, such a heavenly combination of easy and delicious, that all you can do is sit back in wonder, and admire it…
No, I’m totally kidding – what you have to do is make it, then eat it! Like, right now!
Anyway, you probably see where I’m going here, but this recipe is exactly that kind of recipe. It takes five minutes, max, to prepare, and much much less time to eat! Continue reading
This recipe (which was inspired by one from the Australian Women’s Weekly Quick & Fast book) has rapidly become one of my all time favourite dinners to make and eat. It is SO quick and SO easy and SO SO SO delicious! It’s the perfect meal to whip up on those nights when you don’t get home until late, and just aren’t feeling the whole cooking thing.
Happy first day of spring everyone! Well, except for all you northerners :). Here in Melbourne, the plants are growing, the blossoms are blossoming, the weather is getting warmer, and I have some awesome September Short Projects lined up! Continue reading
I tried for so long to come up with a catchy name for this post, but nothing doing! So I stuck with a nice factual description of what I’m about to show you. Sorry, I know that’s boring. ;) Continue reading
It has been suggested to me once or twice that I have a very real chance of being identified as what is colloquially known as an obsessive compulsive hoarder. Personally, I think such a characterisation is grossly unfair, but what can you do? The fact of the matter remains that I really really don’t like to throw things out. Continue reading
I promised you another home-made winter warmer, and here it is: vanilla and rose sugar scrub!
This hand and body scrub is so easy to make, and it does wonders for your skin, especially in winter. It only needs a couple of ingredients, can be whipped up in a few minutes, and also makes a fantastic gift – although you should make sure to keep some for yourself too! Continue reading
When we moved in to our house, I think I went colourblind. For some reason I thought it might be nice to have a bright red in-tray and a bright blue binder sitting in our laundry (actually I think ‘some reason’ might be because they were really cheap). Continue reading
Hello everyone, happy Monday! I realise that it is Monday, and not last Friday, when I should have done this post, so my apologies! Life kind of intervened in my week of blogging last week!
Today I bring you a new creation, Very Cherry Slice. It’s a super easy, no-bake slice that will impress all your friends and relatives! Promise! Plus, with its classic Arnott’s Marie Biscuits and Cadbury Cherry Ripes, it’s a bit of an Aussie classic! I was inspired by the recipe for Terri’s Cherry Ripe Slice over at Taste.com.

I can do that!
