We picked a 3kg bounty of strawberries last weekend and just about managed to chomp through them, however the remainder were on borrowed time. I chopped them up in the blender, saved some for cereal in the morning and baked the rest into these pretty naughty muffins for Dave and Ethan. For the recipe base I used the Edmonds …
This is neither a glamourous nor adventurous recipe but damnit we have some serious stock of Weet-Bix in the pantry! All that aside, these muffins are really good, knobby with lots of texture, super easy and quick to make and they taste delish.

We returned from our camping trip to find two giant marrow chilling in the vege patch. What to do, what to do? I have never cooked a marrow, or even investigated …
This is a bit of a jail-food dinner but it is very quick, healthy and super tasty. I find it hard to get inspired when I am only cooking for Ethan and I on certain nights of the week, the portions are hard to work with for one thing! So, though this might not be the most beautiful dinner I …
I am awash in zucchini right now, my vege bin in the fridge is literally groaning under their weight in fact. Which is good, because it is a staple vege in our house and one all three of us really love. So, I have frozen them, baked them in muffins, made pasta sauce out of them, put them in every …
