For the love of food
Back when I had a ‘real’ job, my favourite day of the week wasn’t Friday like most people (although only just), it was Wednesday for on Wednesdays the area under my building was transformed as tents went up, trailers rolled in and people set up their wares. On Wednesdays from 10 am you will walk [...]
Let’s take a step back in time, nearly two years back to be precise. So far back in time that I didn’t know the difference between a macaron and a macaroon! In fact I don’t think I even knew there were two such similar words. Can you believe such a time existed? Fast forward to [...]
I think one of the reasons we put on weight over winter, sorry I’m generalising to make myself feel better. I mean one of the reasons I put on weight over winter is because all the delicious summer snacks like berries and yoghurt and all those healthy, low-calorie foods don’t seem nearly as appealing when [...]
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 hope everyone has as big a chocolate hangover as me today. Easter and being a bride very soon do not go all that well together. Apart from eating too much chocolate I had a lovely day with family and friends and fabulous food. We’re up at Sunshine Beach for the long weekend staying with [...]
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 was (an secretly still am) a serious Spice Girls fan. Seriously, what’s not to love? When they announced their comeback tour a few years ago I was almost dancing around the house to ‘Spice up your life’ in joy. Sadly, they couldn’t stay together long enough to make it to Australia. Not to worry [...]
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 [...]
I am very excited to be heading off to the Good Food and Wine show today. I have tickets to see Manu and George and Gary. I spent the day in bed with a stomach bug yesterday and still not feeling tops today so sadly there will be no food tasting for me . Our [...]
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 [...]
Breast cancer sucks. I can think of much stronger words to describe this shockingly terrible disease that has taken so many lives but I think that sums it up. Thankfully there are people out there working tirelessly to try to find a cure. While most of us can’t help physically what we can do is [...]
