Working at home has its perks. For the most part, it’s pretty awesome, however there are a few potential negatives that also come with working from home.

Beer Can Chicken
Sometimes my husband loves to experiment in the kitchen. Always with meat, as that is his area of specialty and thankfully it is almost always a winner. And I am happy to sit back and let him do the cooking too. Since he works nights, we have a lot of freezer meals during the week. It […]

No Butter Oreo Brownies

Easy Chocolate Slice
There’s nothing like the simplicity and awesomeness of a quick chocolate slice to bring back memories of childhood… at least in my family.

Anzac Biscuits
ANZAC Day is near, this year being the 100 year anniversary of the landing in Gallipoli.

Like last year, I decided to go with the handmade option again this Easter. With such a large family, buying Easter eggs can be pretty costly and there is nothing quite so special as handmade. Thankfully it only took a couple of hours in the kitchen and some cute gift bags to get 16 family […]
