I don’t know what to call this slice, other than ‘easiest slice ever’. It’s a tin of condensed milk, some SR flour, coconut, choc bits and butter all melted together to form something naughty but nice. This is the kind of thing that you would throw into a tin and into the oven when you…
Quick mix cookies
Sometimes you don’t want to muck around making the world’s best chocolate chip cookies. Because biscuits like that involve creaming the sugar and butter for a rather long time. Sometimes you just want a quick mix biscuit recipe that you can whip up in a storm. This is that recipe. It will take you 5…
Lucy’s Mum’s no-bake chocolate slice
Once upon a time a lovely lass called Lucy had a blog called Diminishing Lucy. It was one of the very first blogs I ever read and I truly connected with Lucy through it. It was a health and fitness blog, but so much more than that. Lucy had a way of inviting us in and…
Simple eggy fried rice with cashews
This is a ‘throw it all together’ one pot meal that my family are ga-ga for. It’s pretty much made with all the stuff you have in the freezer on any given Sunday and it’s yummy. That’s all we really need to know. The nuts add texture and crunch but if you’re not nut-friendly, leave them…

A lovely lighter quiche lorraine
When you’re a keeper of the chickens, a good egg recipe will always catch your eye. We eat a lot of eggs at our place, something that we are all very happy about. Since the chickens were all killed last weekend, we are going to have to buy eggs again. At least for the short term….
Easy apple muffins
My local is lovely friend Soph created a recipe for Alice’s apple muffins that we made once and then another 20 times. Since our first baking, the girls and I have modified the recipe so much that they’ve stopped being called Alice’s muffins and are now known as “the girls’ muffins”. They are super-easy to…
