Gosh everyone’s obsessed with Biscoff lately aren’t they. It seems to be everywhere. My eldest girls were introduced to the popular Belgian spread (made by crushing up the caramelised, cinnamon spiced biscuits) by a friend and have been at me to make something with it ever since. Insert the Biscoff brownie. A little too sweet […]
If you’re looking for something easy to make with the kids – and by easy, I mean, easy. Then you’ve come to the right place. Try these tasty “two ingredient” protein crisp chocolate crackles. A great little after school treat and made simply by melting some chocolate in the microwave before mixing through some protein […]
I got this recipe from the side of my Weet-bix collectors tin years and years ago. An oldie but a goodie, this is a must have recipe for anybody with little people in their life. Made simply by combining some dry ingredients with some melted butter, sugar and golden syrup and then pressed into a […]
Charlotte took one bite of this slice tonight and shrieked “Mum! You have to put this recipe on your blog. It’s soooo good”. This reminded me of why I started Lo’s Kitchen all those years ago as a way of collating all of our families favourite recipes that my mum, grandma’s, sisters and aunties have […]
I always have carrots in the fridge. In fact I always have all of the ingredients for this carrot cake loaf in the pantry and fridge. That’s why I love it. You can whip this up in minutes and apart from needing a grater, you don’t need any fancy mixing equipment here as it’s all […]
Toothpick meatballs. Why are they called that? Because they’re best eaten with a toothpick. Simple as that. This isn’t very complicated stuff here. Simply throw everything together into a bowl, get in there with your hands and roll out into small balls before frying them in a bit of olive oil. Succulent and juicy, they […]
This is the ultimate sweet treat. Comforting and delicious and just like the old school caramel slice your grandma used to make. Just like the one found in bakeries all over the country. The recipe was given to me by a good friend Nikki who makes it as a gluten free version, using gluten free […]
It’s funny. I started this blog back in 2018 as a way of keeping all of our family recipes together in one spot. I’ll often find myself searching Lo’s Kitchen for the recipes for Mum’s Outstanding Blueberry cake, Grandma Betty’s carrot and pineapple cake, Nee’s white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies or Mim’s pumpkin scones. […]
I call this recipe pumpkin “bread” in the same way that I call my banana bread, “bread”. As in it’s more of a sweet loaf to enjoy with a hot cuppa as opposed to a loaf of bread that you use to make a sandwich. Made using freshly steamed and mashed pumpkin I know a […]
Every recipe that I post on here, we eat. What I mean by this is that most food blogs and food writers cook for “shoots” where their sole purpose is to make the food look good for the camera, using plenty of clever food photography tricks up their sleeves to do so. Think things like […]
There’s something lovely about whipping up a batch of cookies at home. I think maybe it’s the smell that gets me. That sweet smell of chocolate, oats and golden syrup wafting from the kitchen is just so comforting and oh so inviting. This recipe makes a large batch of cookies and packaged up in some […]
If you’re looking for something fun to do with the kids, why not make my easy chocolate slab. Simply melt some chocolate and stud it with anything you like. Think lollies, choccies, candy canes, pretzels, nuts, dried fruit, marshmallows and sprinkles. A real special treat to have in the fridge or make some and package […]
I don’t know about you but the first thing I do when I get home after being away is to make a cake. Something about switching the oven on and reaching for the mixing bowl just relaxes me. Restores order somehow in a way that the endless washing pile being tackled doesn’t. There’s nothing better […]
This is a recipe for the novice bakers out there. I’ve called it the “packet mix” cake because you get exactly the same result as if you were to use a basic butter cake packet mix. Great for making kids’ novelty birthday cakes or to throw in the oven for a quick activity/afternoon tea for […]
One can only cook spaghetti bolognese so many times. So here’s another way with mince. My girls love these easy and delicious beef kofta’s for something a little different. Anything on a stick seems to be a hit in our house at the moment (thinking back to our honey soy chicken kebabs and Teriyaki salmon […]
The twinnies woke at 5 this morning. I’m on to my second cup of coffee and while they play with the dishwasher tablets in the cupboard under my feet, I’m throwing a brown sugar loaf cake (my new favourite recipe) into the oven. Mother’s of twins all need a piece of cake when this sleep […]
Mum messaged our ‘Ladies of the Fam’ WhatsApp group the other day asking if “.. anyone has my sticky date recipe handy? I really must bring it to Culburra!” “No, I don’t. Sorry Mum”, Case replied. “Is it on the blog?” says Ali, seconds later… shortly before copying and pasting a link to the very […]
It’s been a while since I’ve written a new blog post. Reason being is that I’ve been so crook with morning sickness. They say that being pregnant with twins will do that to you! I’ve wanted to share this no fuss chocolate pudding recipe with you for ages. It’s such a good one to have […]
We’re big in to Christmas trees in our house. Did you know that my Mum and Dad grow fresh pine trees, selling them at their ‘cut your own’ Christmas tree farm each year? For as long as I can remember we’ve always had a fresh tree, no fake plastic ones in sight. We’ve got many […]
November is the new December. Or so my good friend Anna tells me. It’s only the 13th of the month and judging by my insta feed, you’d think it was Christmas Eve already. I must admit it felt like Christmas here today. Along with the smell of gingerbread in the air, there were Santa lists […]
