Soup is the perfect meal to serve on a wintery day. And in our house, we eat soup at least once a week because it’s such an easy meal to prepare, and it’s a sure-fire way to fill hungry tummies. One of the soups we used to make frequently is the good old Pea and […]
Winter has set in quickly this year, and so our menu has changed rather abruptly from BBQed meat and salads to comforting, cook-all-day type of stews. While it’s easy to reach for the same old stew recipe, occasionally it’s satisfying to try something new. And even more when the ‘new’ can be added to the […]
Which parent wouldn’t love a high-protein quick snack or lunch right in time for the school holidays? We certainly would! And while it’s not possible to come and show you each just how simple they are to prepare, we can share the recipe with you, and wait expectantly for big grins from your whole family! […]
The presence of flavour enhances our eating satisfaction no end. (We’ve discussed this on our blog here). On the other hand, the absence of flavour in a meal can be disappointing.

You know those mornings when you don’t feel like eggs (again), but you need something more filling than cereal or a slice of toast. When you need a nourishing breakfast, but don’t have much in the fridge? Well this simple breakfast mince hits the spot (and is the breakfast of choice for our eldest son). […]
The other night it was 6pm and no plans had been made for dinner (again). There was a steady stream of little people making ‘hungry’ statements. We needed a meal on the table, and quickly! Thankfully there was some beef mince in the fridge, but we had precious little in the way of vegies ☺ […]
Being Mexican Aussies, we have a soft spot for anything that brings the Australian and Mexican food culture together ☺. So when we discovered this recipe, we were cheering! What child (Mexican or not) doesn’t enjoy food served in a tortilla, with the excuse to forget the cutlery? And what parent doesn’t enjoy supplying simple, […]
