Loaf of white bread on a wooden cutting board with some slices cut.

Simple Homemade Bread Recipe (by hand or bread machine)

You just can’t beat freshly baked homemade bread. This easy bread recipe is great for beginners and experienced bakers alike. It only requires 6 ingredients, and you can adapt it to make a variety of loaves! I shared this recipe over nine years ago, so I think it’s about time I update it! When I first published this recipe, I was only making bread on and off. More recently though I have stopped buying bread and I use this recipe to make my own. That’s because everyone in my family prefers homemade bread over the store-bought stuff! For some reason it just seems to have more flavour. Not … [Read More...]

Lemon curd is dripping from a spoon into a Pale blue bowl containing more lemon curd. The bowl is on a wooden board and three lemons can be seen in the background.

Easiest Homemade Lemon Curd Recipe

Deliciously tangy lemon curd without the hassle. This recipe is super easy – no double boiler or strainer required! I mentioned last year, when sharing my Lemon Brownie recipe, that our lemon trees have provided us with lots of lemons to use. This oversupply of lemons has given me the opportunity to practice making lemon curd. It was called lemon butter when I went to school, but whatever you call it it’s delicious! I have made it a couple of times over the last few years. But I always get put off by the fiddly process. Common recipes call for heating over a double boiler or water bath … [Read More...]

3 Rows of hedgehog squares are lined up on a piece of baking paper. Part of a white plate with more squares can be seen in the background.

Fudgy Hedgehog Squares

You are going to love this recipe for Fudgy Hedgehog Squares. It’s got all the flavour of hedgehog with less work! All you need is one bowl and 5 ingredients! Hedgehog is a classic Australian recipe. It is usually made as a slice and consists of a chocolaty later that is packed with crushed biscuits, coconut, and walnuts. That delicious layer is then topped with a layer of melted chocolate. Why call these Fudgy Hedgehog Squares? I got the idea to make something like hedgehog when I was looking at my Easy Nutty Microwave Fudge recipe. It is very easy to make, so I thought that I could swap the … [Read More...]

Grey and white cat in a leopard print play tunnel. There are lots of various cat toys in the foreground and two cat trees in the background.

Simple Cat Toy Storage Idea

Cat toy storage can be an issue when you have multiple cats and lots of toys in the house. We found a simple solution to cat toy storage that complements our décor! The cats that we had years ago spent a lot of time outside, so they didn’t have many toys. Nowadays our cats spend more time inside. Firstly, because our local council has a cat curfew at night, but also because we have installed cat nets to limit how far they can roam. We installed the cat nets a few years back after one of our cats was bitten by a snake. The vets had to work hard to save him, so we installed cat nets soon … [Read More...]

Iced lemon brownies on a blue plate. A blue and white patterned tea towel, two whole lemons, and a half of a lemon can be seen in the background.

Tangy Lemon Brownies

If you are a lover of lemon desserts but have never indulged in lemon brownies, then this is the recipe for you.  It is quick and easy, and the brownies are oh so lemony! A few years back we decided to plant a couple of lemon trees in pots as we were buying a lot from the supermarket. Fast forward to now and we’ve got lemons coming out of our ears almost! Not that we’re complaining because … [Read More...]

Two rows of radish plants growing in the soil with a drip irrigation hose running down the middle. A plastic plant marker labelled ‘Cherry Belle Radish’ is sticking out of the soil in front of the plants.

Easy Plastic Plant Markers

I have enjoyed growing my own vegetables immensely over the last few years.  It is so rewarding to plan out what you want to grow, care for the plants, and then harvest your vegetables. I have even contemplated planting vegetables that I don’t like that much just so I can see if I can grow them! No matter what you are planting though, one thing that comes in handy in the vegetable garden is … [Read More...]

Buns are shown still joined together on baking paper and on a cooling rack.

Delicious Mini Hot Cross Buns

The whole family will love these soft and fluffy Mini Hot Cross Buns fresh from the oven! They are so hard to resist with their delicious fruitiness and yummy spices. In the past I have never been a big fan of hot cross buns; or fruit buns of any description actually! I’m not sure why I didn’t like them, but as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to appreciate their fruitiness and the yummy spices. Mostly … [Read More...]

Salvia bush covered in small bright pink flowers.

Growing Salvia Plants for Easy Summer Colour!

Salvia plants add wonderful colour to a summer garden. They require only moderate watering, they can handle extreme heat, and they flower for months. Summer in Australia tends to be very hot and dry. Where we live temperatures close to (and sometimes over) 40 °C (104 °F) are not uncommon during the summer months. This extreme heat can be hard on our garden so we try to choose plants that can … [Read More...]
