Baking with my boy...

Jack loves cooking. Maybe cause you get to eat the cookie dough before it makes it into the oven. His favourite cookies are Auntie Caroline's Jam drops but we left out the jam and added white chocolate chips instead. They are soooo yummy.

Gratitude Monday...



I am so thankful to have a family that can cook amazing food.
Last week Laura attempted to make 'Yorkshire Puddings' to go with the roast chicken dinner that she cooked. They were so yummy and turned out perfect. She now has the job to make them for our Christmas eve roast dinner. She is also going to make homemade christmas pudding again this year. Yum....

And over the weekend Biggsie cooked tempura battered vegies in the wok on the bbq. They were also very yummy.
