Herby crumbed chicken snuggled under a layer of rich tomato sauce adorned with a crispy, molten, golden coating of melted cheese. Mmmm. It’s no surprise chicken parma is a timeless classic. Grace is a big fan of chicken and an even bigger fan of the crumbed variety so I am always keen to include a little poultry on our weekly meal plan. And yesterday I was lucky enough to be gifted some ...

eggplant & tomato penne
Much to my delight one of the first foods that Miss Grace really mastered and enjoyed was pasta and ever since has loved and adored countless pasta dishes.

Flicking through the mammoth amount of photographs we’ve taken of our lovely little daughter I came across snaps of Grace on her way home from the hospital. Nestled in her car seat our new born precious bundle of joy echoed serenity, peace and perfection with her tiny little hands and feet just poking out of the seat ...
raspberry & chocolate blondies
What’s a blondie? Glad you asked! Blondie’s are the ‘blonde’ equivalent of the chocolate brownie and just like their brunette cousin they exude equally enticing qualities; rich, fudgy, molten, dense, sticky and unbelievably delicious. The only real distinguishing factor between the two is the lack of cocoa in the blondie recipe that results in a fair, pale, almost albino version of brownie, ...
