Swirly Whirly Rainbow Cookies

Pinterest can be an amazing tool.....it can also heap the pressure on to make seemingly perfect things. How do some people do it?! They're bakes look like perfection!

One case in point are these rainbow cookies. On Pinterest they looked so beautiful and effortless...and kind of not like biscuits!

When we tried, they looked....rustic...to say the least! lol!

We actually realised though, that instead of making them swirl cookies, more fun is had using the dyed dough to make other rainbow creations. So go where your heart takes you with them, and have fun!

This recipe produces a light buttery biscuit, so whatever you do with them, they taste delicious.

Here's the recipe for the swirly biscuits, but you can save yourself a lot of time by just mixing the rainbow dough up however you please. Original recipe is courtesy of TasteMade.

Australian Pikelets

This is my go-to recipe for a different and tasty breakfast for the kids. Obviously we don't do it often because it's not as quick and easy as toast, but they love them, and they make a great snack too. This is an Australian recipe. I used to live in Australia when I was a kid, and remember pikelets fondly. So when I had kids of my own, I dug out the recipe and started making them. They are light and fluffy, and very easy to make. Obviously if kids are involved though they need to be careful over the hot frying pan. This is an Australian recipe.

Miss L's Mushroom Omelette

Today for lunch Miss L decided to make herself a mushroom omelette. I was surprised because she's not a huge fan of egg, but I thought...great! Less work for me! As it's the first thing a chef learns at cookery school though, I thought I'd put it on the blog. It's a great start to a culinary career, and as Miss L wants to be a chef, I guess it's a given that she knows how to make at omelette. I kid you not though, it was the best omelette I'd had in a long time!! I don't know what she did....but it tasted so much better than mine! :D I love an omelette, and I always consider it as a bit of comfort food for lunch. It's so much more homely than a sandwich! During lockdown we've been keeping a lot of eggs in the house too, for baking and whatnot, so it's always a good way to use them up. The way I taught her, is probably the cheating way to do it, because I shove it under the grill to do the top, instead of it being on the stove for too long and goi...

Blogging the Culinary Everyday

So unless you've been living under a rock in the last 6 weeks you'll know that as a country we have been in lockdown because of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. My patience is getting thinner, my waist line is getting bigger and I'm feeling down in the dumps. The only things I have found that gets me out of this slump is cooking. This is something that my 8 year old daughter, Miss L, is finding too. It breaks up the day and you get to eat wonderful things you've made (hence the growing waist line). We've had to have been resourceful with our ingredients, though, not knowing what we're going to be able to get hold of. It's been a culinary mystery tour! The enormity of the situation is overwhelming, but with cooking we feel like we have some control . But then again, maybe this is exactly the right time to learn some new skills and develop ourselves. There are so many skills that are going to be learnt with this blogging venture, for me a Miss L. That'...
