Your Favourite

It all gets better from here. We've just had the shortest day of the year, so it will slowly get lighter and lighter outside. Before you know it we'll be rolling out the BBQ's, swimming in the outdoor pools, and rejoicing in lower power bills.

One difference living in NZ is that they don't have as many pre-preparred food items (like instant jello cheesecakes, carrot cake mixes, angel food cake, refridgerated biscuits, cinnamon rolls, pizza doughs....basically all the things that make our life easier but our waists bigger!) When the evening gets dark, and the house gets cold I usually go to the kitchen to entertain myself by baking or cooking something. You have to bake most things from scratch over here. This week I'm making chicken n' dumplings....but have to actually make the dough for the dumplings myself....I know, I know.....I'm used to being spoiled. This is where I want to share something with you...

One of my all time fav websites.....(drum roll please)......

www.allrecipies.com

It seriously is the B-E-S-T. You can type in the ingrediants you have and it spits you out all kinds of recipies you can make. You can search by time it takes to prep, cooking method, highest rating, get metric conversions (for me in NZ), and learn all kinds of amazing new recipies already tested by hundreds of other people. It seriously is fantastic...I get most all my recipies from it. Go ahead, check it out. I know you want to.

Look at my assistant :-) I can't wait till he's a bit older and we can make cookies together, decorate easter eggs, bake bananna breads...no sexism here!

A few of Luca's friends from coffee group. In the red is Olivia (she's very advanced - already teething!) and the other boy is Zeke.

So what's your favourite website?....I'm curious, and I've just told you mine, so it's time to share!
