Chocolate. Easter. Joy. They go hand in hand. So when the Coles Magazine Easter edition comes out, we get a little bit excited (What? We have a good excuse to eat copious amounts of chocolate, it’s all part of the festivities!). Here at Mama loves to share, we love to get our bake on, (even if […]

Week night meals can be an absolute headache! School drop off, house work, emails, school pick up, rush to milo cricket, finally get home and…. eeek! No dinner! There’s nothing in the fridge!

Our recipe is based on […]

Who doesn’t love baked potato and even better when it’s the healthier orange version of a baked potato – the yummy baked sweet potato! This recipe is adapted from a BBC Good Food recipe and is an absolute winner in our house! At first I was worried Hubby might still be hungry when finished without […]
