One of the things that surprises me these days is that no one is willing to be seen to be middle of the road. I feel like every good or service I see is marketed as either budget or premium. And I don’t think the quality of the product or service really matches the label […]

Food Shopping on a (very) tight budget
I’ve been tweeting my food budgets each fortnight as we scrimp by on my part time income. We’ve been ranging from $50-90 per fortnight. Some people have been curious, so I thought I would list my items & receipts and talk about how we use the items. This was a particularly large spending fortnight as […]
The Real Steps to Packet Mix Baking
I’ve been restless all day. I finally decided to watch Bones and bake some apple cinnamon muffins from a packet mix. I know. I use packet mix. Call the CWA on me and have me beheaded. I started off by reading the instructions. Immediately, I started laughing because eating the batter and by extension, […]
The Intimidating Salad
Yes, you read the headline correctly. The Intimidating Salad. I bought some fresh fruit & veggies last night and woke up thinking about the mix of a ripe tomato, crisp lettuce with a bit of kewpie mayo. Kind of like this one I made the other weekend, but simpler: But yes, needless to […]
Breaded Camembert with Cranberry Sauce
We ducked out last night to Woolies to grab a few bits and pieces and I came across this Breaded Camembert with Cranberry Sauce marked down. For something like $2, I figured, why not?! And one came out of the oven like this: Overall, it was pretty nice, though the cranberry sauce […]
Dumpling Party
Instead of going out to a restaurant as we had been planning to, my friends and I decided to have a cook at home day yesterday. Dumplings, or Gyoza, or Pot Stickers…depending on where you are from! I’m sure there’s some other definition of why they have different names, but I’m not a food blogger, […]
A Catch Up With Friends
Food bloggers, switch browsers now. I’m going to be talking about something so hideous, so unthinkable, un-platedly uncool that you heads might not be able to cope. That’s right, I went to Sizzler!! Some friends & I were long overdue for a catch up, and since we’re spread out around SE Qld we decided to […]
Wednesday Food Post – Sauce!
Do you have a sauce that you would happily take a bath in? For me, it’s this type of sesame sauce. I have no idea what is in it that makes it so addictive, but I would willingly drink it. We drive to the other side of town to buy it – and […]
Wednesday Food Post – Pesto
On the weekend I picked up a bargain $5 box of fruit and vegetables while searching for a particular sauce I love (more on that in later weeks). Not one to pass up a bargain, I bought the box. Only I wasn’t really sure what to do with all the items. They were discounted for a […]
Why I’ll never be a Food Blogger
Patience. What? Call me impatient (or hungry) but when I have pretty food in front of me, I want to eat it! I think I’m fairly creative with quick dinners during the week, and I’d love to share some on here. But by the time I get home I’ve commuted 3 hours already that day […]
