BACONNAISE, DULSE AND ME!

BACONNAISE, DULSE AND ME!
Baconnaise! Well rather than go shopping for all those bits and pieces one runs out of periodically, I decided to clean out the fridge and do a bit of home made pantry inventory…so on a busy Saturday I not only managed to navigate an early start at the dentist with two (yes two at once!) kids...

CHAR SUI PORK WRAPS…Tex-Asian?

CHAR SUI PORK WRAPS…Tex-Asian?
Char Sui Pork Bun, De-Constructed! WARNING: Long ingredient list…but don’t be put off! You could call this ‘De-constructed Pork Buns or Pot Stickers’…almost. As you know (if you read this blog regularly), I am into anything that is easy and quick, can be adapted to feed...

PUMPKIN EATER!

PUMPKIN EATER!
Pumpkin Avo Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing Christmas Day and the kids have just left…feeling cruisy, the food was stunning and even though the kitchen is still in need of some cleaning, it is pretty OK. Thought I would quickly write this one down and put it up…nothing like obsession...

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCEED; THAI THAI AGAIN!

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCEED; THAI THAI AGAIN!
Thai Beef Salad Sorry, its Friday afternoon at the end of a long week, and so I am not only tired, but silly to go along with it! Thai Beef Salad is one of my favorites and lately I have been on a mission to find a nice one in a restaurant that I could rely on to deliver the taste hit that I crave…no...

IF YOU SHRED THE BEEF DOES IT HAVE LESS CALORIES??
Shredded Beef Ready to Go! Just a little ego stroking first…see that button to the right of screen? CLICK on and VOTE…5 hats for me…please! Someone has nominated me as a top food blog…we are not talking Perth, or even Australia, this is a global thing and I have to say, the company...

PEEL ME A GRAPE

PEEL ME A GRAPE
Apologies for my recent lack of posts! Life has taken over my life…(‘does it ever end?’ I ask myself.) One of my sons is in hospital with Golden Staph (though I hardly think it rates a capitalization!) Nasty super bug and it’s really bugging me too! Poor love..still on a brighter...

ROAST THE MEDITTERANEAN

ROAST THE MEDITTERANEAN
Yes, another BBQ posting…all due to my class participants from late June (who FYI are very silent in the comment department…c’mon guys) and of course a little hangover from a month of summer in the States…they are ‘grilling’ mad, especially around July 4th…so...

SEAFOOD EATFOOD

SEAFOOD EATFOOD
Looking over the last few entries on here I realise what a sweet tooth I am, but hey…I can do the other stuff, so check this out! There were no complaints when this showed up at lunch time on Friday. I re-served it completely cold on Saturday without the oohhs and ahhs, so I suggest you serve...

TRAFFIC LIGHT SALAD

I love the flavour of Roasted Vegies and this is a purler of a salad because of the beautiful flavours and colors, so spoil yourself and your family and use a beautiful roasting pan. You could even serve it in the pan if you were pushed for time. NEED: 1/2 butternut pumpkin sliced and peeled 1 whole...
