You know you’ve got a good thing going when you come home from work to find freshly baked homemade cookies ready for your return.
Here are some delicious (and thoughtful!) oatmeal, peanutbutter, and honey (and shot of whiskey!) baked by Mister:

Getting to the end of our grocery week – we were running very low and ingredients to choose from. Thankfully for the 5kg bag of potatoes and 2kg bag of carrots I’d bought a couple of weeks ago, I was able to whip up a meal using some of the ingredients we had in our fridge and pantry.
Here’s a modified version of baked eggs/shakshouka:
This dish was made without a recipe and was mainly used using what I could find leftover in my fridge/pantry. So feel free to modify as you feel necessary.
Method:
There’s nothing more wonderful than waking up to the smell of a delicious meal cooking in the kitchen. After working a series of night shifts I was completely and absolutely exhausted. I’d promised Mister than I would cook dinner but wound up falling asleep. To my surprise, I woke up to him making a Shepherd’s pie (definitely some Brownie points there!).
What other thoughtful things have your partner or significant other done for you?
I have always wanted to have a go at making my own bread. So last night, after realising that we were out of bread (and also that I was too lazy to go to the supermarket again just for bread), I thought I’d give the homemade bread a try. And surprisingly, it was a success!
The recipe I used was extremely simple and I will definitely be doing this again! There’s something satisfying about creating your own food, that you know exactly what ingredients have gone into it, and you can modify it each time as you please.
To add a bit of flavour and a golden crust to the load, I brushed the top of the loaf with a light coating of olive oil and sprinkled some oregano for the last 15mins of baking.
Ingredients:
Living in a regional town means that takeaway options are much less readily available. No more MenuLog or getting home delivery from an option of at least 10 different restaurants in your locality. But, that is why I love living here. For lazy nights in, we make simple cheap meals which are are much healthier and economical option that the ‘convenient’ takeaways.
Wallaby mince was on cheap for $4.50 for 500grams today so we decided to make some wallaby mince pizza.
For extra flavour I added some birds eye chilli to the mince whilst cooking and some jalapeños on top. Firstly, I cooked the wallaby mince with onions and added some spices to taste along with the chilli.
I used a pizza dough recipe from taste.com substituting plain flour for wholemeal (which I find gives it more flavour).
This ended up making 2 pizzas with some mince still to spare. A much more economical (and still very easy option) than takeaway delivery for a lazy Sunday night!
We flew back late into town the other night after our flight got delayed. By the time we got home, it was chilly and we definitely needed some warming up after a fews day away in warmer temperatures.
I decided to chuck a few ingredients together and managed to make a hearty warming stew for dinner. Surprisingly, despite the random combination of ingredients, it worked out tasting pretty well.
