Legal Pancakes

Emma — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 02:19:44 +0000

Pancakes aren’t something I have very often, basically because of the refined wheat and low amount of protein. For me it’s not a substantial enough breakfast to get me through to lunchtime. That is until I came up with this fantastic recipe …now used for all pancake fixes in our house! It’s wheat-free, sugar-free and protein-full, and a […]

My husband’s a trooper… he’s up at 5am every weekday to travel an hour to work as a tradie (no late 9am starts in his world!). I do my bit my making sure he has an easy breakfast that he can just grab and go, so he doesn’t have to fuss around in the kitchen […]

Real Strawberry Milkshake

Sometimes a smoothie or milkshake is all you need to satiate three-thirty-itis. But rather than loading up on sugary milkshake syrups, how about going for the REAL thing? This milkshake is made with real fruit, a milk of your choice – so you can make it dairy-free or lactose-free, whatever floats your boat – and […]

Persimmon, walnut and cranberry cookies

Persimmons are such an exotic fruit (well to me at least!), and I happened to get a delivery from a family friend right at the very end of their season (February to May). This was just in time to make them into a delicious little cookie, which happens to go perfectly with a cup of […]

Nan’s Beer Cake

Emma — Sun, 27 May 2012 00:11:34 +0000

With origins from the humble Aussie damper, this cake is unusually tasty and one that has been a favourite in our family for years. It’s more moist than it appears, has the subtle taste of beer and is topped with a sweet crumble crust. This cake is great if you don’t like your cakes too […]

Some people like biographies, some like science fiction or romance novels. I like cookbooks and I’ve gathered quite the collection over the years. I love flicking through the pages of beautiful mouthwatering photos and discovering new flavour combinations. So, I thought I’d give you a sneak peek into my book shelf to show you some […]
