Make Mine Chocolate

Mick doesn’t often venture into the kitchen to cook. More often than not that is my domain. When he does, he usually makes something sweet and chocolaty. The other day he decided to make a sweet treat to take with us to the football. This is the one he made. Occasionally you get a slice that is rich and almost impossible to resist. I defy anyone to not want to come back to for a second piece of this one or even a third. So although I am giving you a quantity here for one slice, I suggest you double … Continue reading →

Chocolate Custard Slice

This is, without doubt, my husband’s all time favorite slice. It comes in three layers. Though it looks fiddly, it’s really not. I wouldn’t make it if it was. Mick’s even been known to make it himself. The advantage is you don’t need the oven to make this slice. Be warned, you will probably need to make double this recipe because you’ll find it goes quickly, especially if you have a sweet tooth in the house. I’ve not yet met anyone who doesn’t like it. Yes, once again it’s gluten free. HINT Please check all labels carefully if you are … Continue reading →

An Inexpensive Christmas Gift

For me, trying to make exactly the same recipe again is like trying to re-crack an egg. It’s just impossible, because I can’t resist looking for ways to improve and alter it. That’s not a bad thing. Coming up to Christmas, handmade gifts are always appreciated. They’re good for the elderly and people in nursing homes. They’re good for the hard to buy person or those you simply don’t know well enough to know their taste but want to give a small gift too, people like a child’s teacher or a person who has helped you or done work for … Continue reading →

Sweetly Good For You

Cranberries have become my husband’s and my new favorite fruit. The best thing is that they’re not only tasty but they’re good for you as well. Cranberries have long been known to be good for urinary tract infections but they also contain vitamin C and antioxidants. If that’s not enough, experts have discovered they can have an anti inflammatory effect and are good for fighting infection and can help with cholesterol problems. They are also good for your heart and can help prevent kidney stones. Sound like a wonder food, don’t they? They are. I’ve found them a helpful way … Continue reading →

Food for Baby

Moms, before you put away the thanksgiving turkey and all the other assorted pies and treats from the day, don’t forget baby. From the time our babies started on solid food instead of just milk, I took a little of what we were eating for them. Basically didn’t matter what it was whether it was fruit or fish, chicken or ground beef or steak and vegetables. I’d used to cut some of it into small pieces, toss it all in the blender and blend it up. In this way our babies got used to eating the same sort of foods … Continue reading →

Chili Corn Meatballs

When we’re cooking meals every day, it’s easy to get so stuck in the rut of using the same tried and proven recipes that we forget to venture out and try something new, or we simply can’t be bothered. I have a few books where I have written out some of my favorites over the years. The other day I was looking for another recipe, when I came across this one. ‘Oh, that used to be good and we haven’t had that in ages ‘I said to my husband who agreed. So I made it that week. One thing I … Continue reading →
