Last week when I went fruit and veggie shopping, I purchased a box of strawberries. 8 x 500g punnets of strawberries for $5! Our boys would just sit there and eat them all, but since we had so many, I decided to mix a few with white chocolate chips in some very yummy strawberry and white chocolate cupcakes.

Homemade Instant Pancake Mix

I have found while travelling around and living in a caravan, our boys went off the traditional cereal for breakfast and with the lack of storage in a van, I was looking for new breakfast ideas for them. We all love pancakes and purchasing the pre-made jugs was becoming a little expensive and they do take up a lot of room in the small pantry in our van, so I decided to try and make our own, instant pancake mix.I ...

I remember eating Apricot Bran Bread as a young child and have never gotten around to making it for my kids until now. Instead of making this as a large bread in a loaf pan, I used a mini loaf pan and made a total of 11 mini apricot bran breads. (For those in Australia, I used 2 of these silicon mini loaf pans that I purchased from Kmart.)Everyone in our family loves these, except for our youngest boy, who loves apricots, ...

This is another quick and easy slice that just melts in your mouth. I love the hint of the lemon in the icing. You can taste it but it is not too over powering.This slice only needs 5 ingredients, though you will need another 3 for the icing. One of the ingredients in this slice is condensed milk. I haven't purchased condensed milk in years, instead preferring making my own. You can find my recipe here: Condensed ...
