I know Australia Day was yesterday and I’m a little late to the party but I really wanted to share this cheesy-mite scroll recipe and a little about my first baking experience with Elliot. I love to bake, sugary sweet treats, muffins, cookies, cakes anything but I also love to be ordered, quick and in […]

Sweet Lemon Scrolls
When life hands you as many lemons as I’ve got at the moment, then you’ve really got to use your imagination with how you use them. I’ve made lemon slice, limoncello, squeezed and frozen juice in cubes. I’ve made preserved lemons, and have been drinking them in warm water to start the day. I really […]
Upside Down Peach Syrup Cake
We have this weird block behind our house. It’s land locked, 572m2 (most of which is the drive way), and it’s completely bare except for a peach tree. For about a week a year, the peach tree become so laden with fruit that the branches reach down to the ground. So, throughout that week for […]
Sour dough with Chia Seeds
This week has been a learning curve, I imagine the rest of my weeks will be also. But this week particularly because I have come to the realisation that I no longer leave the house to go to work. Since I finished work in December it’s been the festive season, J was on holidays, I […]
Eating Locally
“What’s the story behind the food” Sophie Budd says passionately. She runs a cooking school, Taste Buds, in central Perth with a huge focus on using local, seasonal ingredients. It made me think. I know the story behind most of our food. I know our potatoes, carrots and pumpkins come from Vince at the Buy […]
Baked Cheesecake With Poached Rhubarb
As you know, I love using local and seasonal ingredients. I kept seeing rhubarb at our local farmers market, and I love it, but all my childhood memories of rhubarb leave my mouth dry. This months Sweet Adventure Blog Hop (hosted by Nic from Nic Cooks) theme was ‘Say Cheese’, desserts with cheese in them […]
I Don’t Want To…
I love living the life we do. I love knowing where our food comes from and what goes into it. But for the first time, this week I found myself saying to J, “I know this is the life we’ve chosen to live, but I just don’t want to bake bread right now.” What I […]
Feta, Beetroot and Spinach Tart
I find this time of year tough. I love the signs of Spring and the warm days, but then the cool ones seem to come along and smack you in the face. Yesterday was super chilly, and windy up on our coastal hill. But only days before I was in shorts, basking in the sun.I […]
Pumpkin Cupcakes and an unintentional week off
I’m usually one of those annoying positive types. I try to find positives in everything, and because of that (the law of attraction thing), I believe my life is surrounded by mostly postive things. However, this last 7 days was different, it was as though everything I touched turned to coal, everywhere I looked something […]
Apple Slice
Welcome, it’s lovely to meet you! this slice is my absolute favourite recipe. I hope you love it too. Bake it, then settle in with a cup of tea. Maybe you’d like these too, and these are super quick and delicious. This was published in the Herald Sun on Friday 24th of May Mary Bond […]
