Back in the Land Down Under!!!!

I'm back!!!!

I have to say, as sad as it was to leave Europe/the UK and all of the amazing sights and people I had been meeting there it is always, always nice to get home dont you think??

I have just finished loading up the washing machine with the MOUNTAIN of clothes I need to sort through and wash and have attempted unpacking all of the souvenirs and goodies I managed to stuff my bag with to bring home (including some cheese from Amsterdam - made it through customs - YES!!) lol

I have so much to catch up on, blog about and organise for my life now that I am back home, feeling great and looking to the future! I have soooo many plans for the next few months (and years to come) and some awesome stuff to share with you.

I can't wait to get back into blogging along with you all!

More news to come, stay tuned - I hope you followers are all still out there!!! :o)

Oh, and I thought I'd share a few of the HUNDREDS of fav pictures I took on my adventures! I am having the biggest struggle trying to upload all of these pictures! OMG, who would have thought someone could take so many!! haha

Food Rampage!

Yes, I'm on a bit of a food rampage at the moment whipping up new recipes when I can! I know i've mentioned this site alot lately but I've found the yummiest soup recipe on here!! http://www.homelife.com.au/ you've done me proud once again!!!

I'm not a huge soup fan but after this one that I tried and tested for the first time last night I think I'm growing to like it! Who would have thought that Aspargus and Pea's would taste soooo great together!!? Well it does and I was so surprised at how delicious this recipe turned out!

Roger was just as surprised as me at just how nice this recipe was, and I will definitely recommend it to anyone! Give it a go!! It was perfect for this chilly weather!

In other news I received a great little package yesterday with some gorgeous fabric in it that I ordered from this nifty online store. Thanks Corrie, I love it! I have NO idea what I'm going to use it for yet, but I think its super cute and will look great at what ever I enventually make it into! If I can get into a sewing class maybe I could use it sooner!?

Also last week I finished off another quick project that I mentioned in an earlier post - my Design Sponge face washer! I love it, it turned out great, love the colour and I'm planning on making some more!

Winter Warmer

Brrr, it has been so cold here at home lately, I'm not sure how bad its been where you are but if it's anything like at my house it's FREEZING!!


When it's cold I love nothing more than staying home in my winter woolies and curling up on the couch, but since I need to work to make a living (damn) I'll settle for other winter warmers and I found just the right recipe that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I look at it, it's a yummy Rice Pudding.


This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with how it tuned out. I got the yummy recipe from here.

It was super easy to make, and I whipped the base of it up in about half an hour, it takes about 40 mins in the oven and you're done! The perfect dessert to any winter dinner!!

What are your favourite winter warmer recipes??
