MAMA LOVES – VITTORIA FASHION TAKEAWAY CUPS I don’t know what it is about having a cardboard takeaway coffee cup in my hand that makes me feel just that little bit cool (of course I’m not cool, far from it, I just like to pretend I am every now and again)! I’m not sure if […]

Remember chocolate crackels? Growing up in the 90’s you were always guaranteed two things at a party (well three if you include fairy bread!) chocolate crackles and cornflake honey joys! Well, this chocolate crunch recipe is similar to the old chocolate crackles however it’s a slice instead of individual cakes and it doesn’t have that […]

 Some of my fondest memories growing up were our school holiday trips to the city. We used to visit the Myer “kids” exhibitions, whether it be Barbie or Lego, have “all-you-can-eat” lunch at Pizza Hut on Bourke Street (sadly no longer there!) and visit the lolly bar located at the Lonsdale Street Myer, spending the $1 or $2 we had choosing lollies […]
