Sugar Coated Peanuts

November 13, 2011

I was really looking for a recipe to make what we used to call Vanilla Peanuts. You know those reddy coloured sugar coated peanuts? As a kid we would have them every Christmas and loved them. I still quite like them even though I know they are a peanut simply encrusted in sugar! I couldn’t [...]

Frozen Banana Ice Creams

It was quite hard to photograph these frozen banana ice creams. I did take a couple of shots of the kids eating them, but they just looked really wrong! Lucky they are super easy to make and taste delicious. Frozen banana really does have this ice creamy taste to it. The first time I made [...]

Lasagne Recipe – Super Basic and Easy To Cook!

September 20, 2011

This lasagne recipe could possibly win the prize for the most basic lasagne recipe ever! But it is pretty easy to cook and my kids love it, so it is a stayer in our house. The sauce is best when it has simmered for at least 15 minutes, but can be layered straight away on [...]
