Wotcha Peeps, here I am again with a veritable cornucopia of seasonal inspiration! Not just recipes but also all the ingredients for delighted family and friends at this time of year. It's always a bind at Christmas time, when you want to stay as green as possible, yet not appear to be a complete miser. Well, I found the easiest way out of this, is simply to put a mixture of goodies together, and present your giftees with a lovely hamper made by your good self. More →

Well hello my lovelies! Here I am back again, almost all Chrimboed out and raring to go for New Year. What's that you groan? No more? Stuffed to excess are we? Fear not peeps, there's some great ways to use up your leftovers here. More →

Well here we are, all settled into 2009. I hope you all had a super time over the holidays, and are ready to face the new year bright-eyed and bushy- tailed. The credit crunch is biting harder every day, and we have to think carefully about the food we buy and put on our plates. Not only is it wasteful to throw food away, but it's something we can no longer afford to do, so one of the first tips from me this year is this...When you go food shopping, PLEASE make a list! Not only will it save you money, but you'll end up wasting far less food as well. Look out for those special offers, cut out coupons and remember to take them with you! Buy seasonal vegetables, they are far better for the environment and the local economy and cheaper than anything that has been flown miles. If you can, buy from local markets. The veg may not look as clean and pristine, but it will be much better for the environment and cheaper. More →

Hello my lovelies, here we are again, and this time, I have a veggie selection for you all. Our family is most definitely meatatarian, however, sometimes we like to have a veggie meal, and we also have veggie friends who we entertain from time to time. So even if you are a confirmed carnivore, it never hurts to have some veggie standbys does it? Plus, in-season vegetables are cheap and plentiful and more environmentally friendly than a meat option. So save the meat for special days, support your local vegetable growers and save yourself money too! More →
