Pineapple Coconut Goo Cake Recipe

This is a no-good very BAD cake that you shouldn’t make if you are at all concerned with sugar, butter and all of those yummy things.

Calzone

Eat Cook | Calzone Recipe

Oh yes.  You will love this one.  I guarantee it.  It has been tried and tested on Very Important Friends and they concur; calzones are go!

Maggi Extra Delicious Chicken Instant Noodles

Product Review | Maggi Extra Delicious Noodles

Our family were sent The Maggi Extra Delicious Chicken Noodles with ‘Invisible Wholegrain’ to sample.  Luckily Chicken is the ONLY flavour we would actually purchase so we felt somewhat qualified to comment!  The problem we have with instant noodles in general is that they just taste SO unhealthy {maybe because they are?}, so despite the fact that we quite like …

Cook | Dave’s Fried Chicken Nibbles / Wings

There aren’t many that know fried chicken like a southern boy, and Dave surely knows how to make fried chicken. In our 7 years of marriage he has cooked this gor-met delicacy for me only twice. Once on New Years three years ago and tonight, surprisingly, he fried up a big lovely mess of chicken. Unprompted! Because I’m sure you …

Date Scone Recipe New Zealand

Classic Date Scone Recipe

Eating Baking always cheers me up and I knew exactly what I wanted to make today.  I have only recently become a fan of dates, they seem to be Abby’s favourite scone variety so whenever we have morning tea she always comes equipped with some date scones. Dates are yummy, are grown on palm trees and are a source of …
