Coming Up In April

I'm sounding like a broken recorder. Again apologies for not being more productive in the kitchen. There hasn't been much "playing" at all recently, cooking became a necessity, even then many shortcuts were taken, and takeaways featured heavily on our family diet recently. 

OK I do have a good excuse. We're having a baby in 4 weeks! Apart from the lack of energy, sore numb hands from carpal tunnel and backaches, I've been busy finishing up work, and setting up the nursery. I've tried to eat healthily enough for the baby though, but our family meals consisted of meat and veges, Woolies chicken and salad or a quick frittata.

This month I'll be doing some meals and snacks for the freezer. Since I have a month off work before the Eviction Day. Yesterday DH said he's been fixing up little DIY jobs in the house (that he's been putting off for ages!!!) because he's "nesting". OMG, ever heard of men nesting?

Here's a pic of the nursery.

Coming Up In February

My sincere apologies to my followers for a long no post hiatus. A combination of factors have prevented the cooking and blogging. My camera died, my mixer went caput, and I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. DH has bought a new close up lens while the other one is still in hospital. I bought a new mixer. My hands are no better but I'm surviving by improvising in minimizing stirring and mixing.

I don't have any idea what the cooking plans are for the month. It's going to be a "see how I feel" month I'm afraid, please bear with me.

Coming Up in November

Hello dear blog readers! I’ve sort of lost my baking mojo at the moment, and in the past two weeks really weren’t physically up to doing any elaborate cooking. I’m hoping my kitchen will get more usage this month apart from making the easy quick meals to feed the family, you know, like heating up frozen pizzas, mixing up salads to go with Woolies roast chicken, getting the kids to grill readymade chicken skewers and flip burgers. The kids are learning to cook though LOL! They even made burritos and spaghetti bolognaise. School term is almost finished so there might not be a lot of baking this month.

I haven’t introduced the newest member of our family. Here he is with his favourite toy dog.

Messy boy has been eating in bed.

Coming Up in October

Apologies for neglecting the blog for a while. We went away for a week's holiday at Hervey Bay. See the whale watching photos below. I've also not been feeling the best, hence the slackness in cooking and blogging. I hope I'll be up to cooking a bit more in the next month or so. The DH and the boys have been doing some of the cooking lately, but not many of them presentable enough for food blogging.

Coming Up in September

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much in the last few weeks, I’m a bit overwhelmed with various stuff happening, and not having the energy to play much in the kitchen, or post for that matter. I still owe you faithful followers some recipes that I promised.

My brother did some SEO’s on my site recently, which has improved my Google ranking. Thanks bro! Sadly I haven’t produced a good enough photo this month to be published on foodgawker.

This month there will be more baking, probably with seasonal produce like pears, strawberries, apples, mangoes are trickling in, and banana prices slowly dropping. I still have those cream cheese in the fridge waiting to be turned into something delicious.

So stay tuned folks! I’d love to hear from you if you’ve tried my recipes, or like something that you might try one day, or are in possession of a recipe that you want me to try.  Please leave me a comment!
