Chocolate Treats
The first of these recipes is based on the traditional rum ball recipe (without the rum) and dipped in chocolate. The second is based on a Nigellarecipe. Oscar and I were watching her Christmas episode a couple of nights before Christmas and when Oscar commented that the fudge would be “yummy in my tummy” I… Read more

Christmas Scones
I saw this recipe for Whole Wheat Biscuits on Super Healthy Kids and thought it would be a good one to make with Oscar for Christmas. It was only as I was making it that I realised “biscuit” in America means scone in Australia. As scones they turned out pretty well, and better than scones they… Read more

Makka Pakka Cake
Its Oscar’s 2nd birthday. He’s had a wonderful day and just loved his Makka Pakka cake. Makka Pakka is a character in the children’s TV program In the Night Garden. He’s Oscar’s favorite and lucky for us he is light brown in colour. Oscar always misses out when the other kids have birthday cakes at… Read more
