Remember how we are on a journey Around the World in 12 Dishes? Well we are spending this month in Brazil (metaphorically- in actual fact we are in Bromley. But they both begin with a 'br' so there's that!) Because The Girls are advancing their independence in the kitchen, I took a different approach to this month's challenge. I gave them the tools and the project and helped when asked. And they learned how to make a Brazilian Open … [Read more...]
2 Ingredient dough: cheesy dough balls
Now I think about it, I should have called this post 3-ingredient dough balls, since that is all it requires: Greek yogurt- I used TOTAL, which has a great consistency for this kind of dough making. Self-raising flour Cheese. I developed it whilst using the last of my 2-Ingredient breadstick dough. Make the dough up according to the instructions: half the mixture made about 8 balls, so I would guess that a full batch would make … [Read more...]
Easy Peasy Pesto Pizza
You remember the two ingredient breadsticks that Dimples and I made last week? This week we made dough again only we actually made 2-ingredient pizzas this time.

I obviously didn't pin it, so just Googled the term and can … [Read more...]

It's only a month until half-term and Halloween, which means it's time for me to start planning our Annual Pumpkin Party.

Around the World in 12 Dishes: Australia
Pavlova, Anzac biscuits, Lamingtons, BBQ shrimp : these are the foods I associate with Oz, based primarily on my former love of the hit soap opera Home and Away. I thought about making one of these for the latest leg of the 12 Dishes tour, but we're away from home, in someone else's home, so I thought should keep it simple. And Damper bread really is simple to make. Originally made with flour and water, this bread was made by the Jackaroos on … [Read more...]
