It really isn’t often Tanny makes requests so when he does I make sure to make them exactly as he wants them. He asked for me to make his favourite biscuits Chocolate Coated Digestives but he wanted them in the shape of gingerbread men. He doesn’t eat alot of sweet things really and he likes…

Mini Quiches
Boxing Day for us (the day after Christmas for those who don’t know what it is) is the day we have all the kids over to have a Christmas celebration with them. I find it easiest to put together a buffet of finger food as that way there is something for everyone. Purchasing premade finger…
Scotch Eggs
As an Aussie the whole Christmas In July thing is something we do due to Christmas normally being in the depths of a sweltering summer and the idea of a turkey dinner being the furthest thing from our minds. You have to feel sorry for us really the idea of another Christmas spent getting up…
Welsh Cheesecakes
This one is one of my Nana Lucy’s recipes. I decided that for the Break Your Heart Bake collaboration I was asked to join this would be great. It’s a recipe I had never made before but wanted to and it is something I wanted to do because I had been thinking about my Nana…
Victoria Sponge Cake
This particular recipe is an absolute brilliant one for beginners and masters alike.

“Oggies” – Nanna Lucy’s Recipes
I remember my Nanna Lucy making these 1 time in my childhood. By the time I was old enough to remember things she did for me she was in her 80’s – 90’s and cooking was not top of her priority list. I do remember them being completely flaky and delicious and being one of…
Sausage, Beans and Cheese Bake – Lunchbox Favourites
I make Tanny’s lunch everyday for him to go to work. However he chose to buy his breakfast and since he works as hard as he does I never saw an issue with it. However once I saw how much it was costing per week I had to find a way for us to cut…
Tanny Cakes – Lunchbox Favourites
Last year Tanny asked me if I could come up with a cake that was a cross over between a Bakewell Tart and a Coconut Cup Cake both being his favourites. This is what I have come up with and aptly named them Tanny Cakes after him because it was all his idea. Before I…
