An oldie but a goodie! In this day and age when everyone is pushed for time we seem to forget that baking doesn’t have to be time consuming or actually involve baking at all! This recipe has been a favourite of my boys since they were little and was always […]

I think this is simply the best use for leftover pasta. Pasta for a frittata can be any type of pasta and any type of sauce, although that said I do prefer it made with a long pasta shape. With a leafy salad or vegetable on the side, it turns […]
Well, winter has certainly hit Melbourne and that means soup! There is nothing like a bowl of chicken soup to warm you up and help keep the sniffles at bay. Traditional chicken soup can be very time consuming to make, but not this one. Recipe is adapted from one on […]
