I tend to ask my Husband for my kitchen wishlist items each Mothers Day and Birthday, to take the guesswork out of it for my him! (and lets face it – to actually get something I want and know I will use!) A Mini Doughnut Tin was at the top of my wishlist and I […]
Bento Lunchbox made by Mr 3
May 4, 2012 by
Mr 3 has been asking me for an old fashioned whisk (see below for picture) for a couple of weeks. They have one at his kinder and he’s been playing with it there regularly, so he wanted one at home too. So, I’ve been looking and they are a little tricky to find nowadays. Luckily, […]
Oaty Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies
May 3, 2012 by
On Facebook the Yummy Inspirations Page reached the milestone of over 1000 incredible fans earlier in the week. I posted a Huge Thank you out to all the loyal fans, asking if they would like to see more of anything on the Yummy Inspirations blog. The response was to see more WHITE CHOCOLATE! These cookies […]
Bento Supplies Clean-Up
May 2, 2012 by
Over the past year, I’ve slowly been accumulating Bento Lunchbox Supplies and my storage hasn’t quite kept up. This has meant my kitchen benchtop/tabletop has slowly been overtaken by cute food picks and mini cookie cutters! So, here is the before photo (eek!)… As you can see, it’s a bit of a jumbled mess, overflowing […]
Kiwi and Cucumber Salad
May 2, 2012 by
I put together this instant salad as a result of a few kiwi fruit needing to be used QUICK! I thought it would be interesting to enjoy them in a healthy salad. You simply combine 3 chopped kiwi fruits, 1 whole cucumber (also chopped) and half a finely diced red onion. And Voila! You have […]
Berry Banana Smoothie
May 1, 2012 by
The boys LOVE yoghurt, and have at least a serve a day. Mr 22 months insists on feeding himself and making a GIANT mess in the process. So, on days when I prefer to keep him free of a head to toe yoghurty coating, I pop his yoghurt into an easily drinkable smoothie instead – […]
Quinoa, Corn and Oat Muffins
April 29, 2012 by
I’ve been experimenting a lot with Quinoa recently – in the past few weeks I’ve shared recipes for Coconut Chicken with Quinoa and Vegetables and Quinoa Porridge. My latest experiment involved cooking the hearty grain and mixing them into Quinoa, Corn and Oat Muffins. Quinoa, Corn and Oat Muffins are Gluten Free and Dairy Free, […]
Creamy Mushroom Soup
April 27, 2012 by
Growing up, my Granny lived in a Hotel which served the most amazing Mushroom Soup in their restaurant. It was the treat of my week to visit her and share a meal in the restaurant with my family. The soup I remember was creamy, but not too rich and had a perfectly balanced mushroom […]
Instant Raspberry Ice Cream
April 26, 2012 by
The other day, out of nowhere, Mr 3 asked for Ice Cream. I haven’t made him Ice-Cream in months and it’s getting colder and colder here in Australia, so I’m not sure what prompted his request. Not having any Ice Cream in the freezer, I thought I’d experiment and whip him up some instant ice […]
Coconut Chicken with Quinoa & Vegetables
April 25, 2012 by
I’ve enjoyed experimenting with Quinoa the past few weeks. I made Quinoa Porridge the other week and have also prepared a Quinoa Salad, which looked good, but I’m not 100% happy with the outcome, taste wise, so I’m going to experiment a little further before sharing the recipe with you. This Coconut Chicken with Quinoa […]
