Heidi’s Baby Shower

My dear friend Heidi had her baby shower today and she looked absolutely beautiful; she was truly glowing as they say. A traditional high tea baby shower was held at Heidi’s mother’s house on the sunny Gold Coast. We enjoyed everything from asparagus sandwiches, homemade spinach triangles, mouth size chorizo and herbed potato skewers to sweet-tooth decadent caramel slice and Heidi’s Berry Muffins.

Easy Tuesday Dinner – Lebanese Meatball Pockets

I made one of my favourite and easiest dinners last night – Lebanese Meatball Pockets. I have been enjoying Lebanese meatballs since I was a rugrat living in Darwin’s Northern Territory. As a family, we used sit on the cliffs at Nightcliff Beach with our friends and family to enjoy dinner and watch the sun go down behind the sparkling Timor Sea. Mum would make the Lebanese Meatballs and condiments to take down for our dinner. After experiencing not-so-good Lebanese suvlaki from the local, Mum decided to make up her own, she improved the taste by using lamb mince. As Spring has...
