For the love of food
I got a rather enthusiastic response to my recipe for Afghan biscuits last week. As I said, they are New Zealand’s famous biscuits. This week I thought I would balance it out with Australia’s famous biscuit, the ANZAC biscuit. We cannot let April 25th, ANZAC Day pass without a batch of these delicious treats. Edmonds [...]
This post is sponsored by Kellogg’s and Nuffnang. A few weeks ago I introduced Kellogg’s new All-Bran Fibre Toppers and not being one to shy away from a food challenge, took the All-Bran 7 Day Challenge where you eat All-Bran Fibre Toppers every day for 7 days and see if you feel All-Bran New [...]
I’ve been rather in the wars lately. The week before last I took a chunk out of my forehead with my fingernail while I was putting on a singlet. A week later I somehow managed to burn myself on the iron quite badly. It’s on the inside of my arm and very unattractive (hoping that [...]
I was a hero this morning. Ok maybe not a serious hero in all senses of the word but I did make one family pretty happy. I was near the end of my Saturday morning walk/run when I spotted a gorgeous white fluffy kitten with big blue eyes cowering on the footpath. This little girl [...]
I used to be a tomato hater but lover of anything tomatoey (like tomato pasta sauce). Now bruschetta is one of my favourite things. I don’t seem to have the same relationship with white chocolate though. I absolutely love anything flavoured with it but I’d never eat a piece of white chocolate. Strange aren’t I? [...]
This post is sponsored by Kellogg’s and Nuffnang. It doesn’t matter where I am in the world or what sort of hotel I’m staying at, I can almost guarantee that there will be bran and cornflakes on the breakfast buffet. It sounds very boring but one of my favourite holiday breakfasts is bran, with some [...]
I have an admission. I am a little embarrassed to say that I still watch Desperate Housewives and I love it. I can’t be the only one or it wouldn’t still be showing. One thing I love about it is guessing who people in my life would be if they were on the show. I [...]
I’m off visiting a friend in America today. Ok not technically just virtually. I’m guest blogging over at the Cafe Sucre Farine. Stop by and check out my recipe for olive oil orange cake with orange drizzle.
If you follow me on twitter or Facebook, yesterday you might have read how excited I was to get back to the Eagle Farm markets. It’s my Sunday ritual to make the short trip to stock up on fresh goodies. Having been away for most of the year so far, this was my first trip [...]
I am strange. I love fruit smoothies but I only eat 3 fruits (apples, strawberries and grapes). I go crazy for fruity desserts and I can’t get enough of banana bread despite really disliking eating bananas. In fact banana bread is one of my favourite breakfast foods. Since I started Claire K Creations last year [...]
Did you have a win on the Melbourne Cup yesterday? I didn’t. I thought that between all the sweeps and $1 bets I had that I might have won something but sadly no. I did see a lady who might have had too big a celebration yesterday. She was walking down Racecourse Road (next to [...]
I subscribe to just about every daily deal email list you possibly can. While it does drive me nuts getting an email about every 5 minutes, I have come across some brilliant deals. My most recent purchase was $15 for a $30 fruit box from Oz Fruit. They deliver market-fresh fruits straight to your door. [...]
