Eating it – The Frugal Foodie
Valentine’s Day – A 3-Course Dinner
Earlier this week it was Valentine’s Day. Hubby and I rarely go out on Valentine’s Day, as we have found in the past that restaurants are usually too busy and hence the staff overworked and really don’t want to be there. We found the service rushed and the food not at...
Special Occasion Entertaining
With Valentine’s Day only a few days away, I started to consider what I might do for a special dinner. We rarely go out on the actual day as we often find the food and service are less than perfect, as the entire staff is overworked and very busy. I was talking to my...
Holiday Time 🙂
Any travel through this CoVid time is a challenge, but we had decided that we did need a break but we would need to stay within our home state of Queensland. At Easter we usually are able to take the Thursday before and the Tuesday after Easter to create a nice 6 day...
Eating “Out”
Although in Queensland, we have been lucky to not have had the heavy lockdowns of some places, hubby and I have not been go out as much as usual. This weekend though I felt like a "Cafe" breakfast and a Picnic lunch 🙂 Rather than going out, we decided to look at what...

Friday Night “Eat In”
You may remember that last Friday, I made the decision to create a restaurant style meal each Friday night. I had the week to think about it and ponder over what was in the fridge and freezer. This what I came up with. Salmon Wellington with Lemon Butter Green Beans...
A Restaurant Style Meal
Have you seen my "Getting $#!T Done" course yet? I ask because, part of the challenge is to audit your life in every area and slowly level each area up to a "10" One area of life is, of course, "Romance / Significant Other" I have rated this area of my life as a good...
A Spring “High Tea” Picnic
This weekend was a family birthday, so we packed up the car and ventured out to have a special picnic. The spring weather here is just lovely, and it is always a great time for a picnic. I designed a "high tea" type spread with pikelets with jam and cream, finger...
Stretching Bread Rolls.
I picked up a packet of Soy and Linseed rolls at the supermarket the other day. They were on special and they looked really yummy. When I got home and looked at them again, I thought they were quite large. I am not gluten free, but I do try to keep my bread down as...
No Fuss – Stress Free meals
A couple of months of crazy days have seen us eating some "creative" meals of late. My main focus has been to feed us reasonably healthy meals that do not require too much in the way of preparation or fuss. Some days there may have been time to do things like cook a...
