WonderHubby’s Comfort Food for Lucky Wives
by Jane on Sunday, 3rd August 2008

WonderHubby’s Masterpiece Omelette is one of my very very favouritest foods ever, and my wonderful, fantastic, incredibly kind husband is kind enough to cook it for me about once a week in Winter.
I also love Campbell’s Split Pea & Ham soup, french toast and scrambled eggs.
These are the foods that I come crawling back to [...]

Puff Paint Recipe
by Jane on Monday, 30th June 2008

I’ve had this recipe for a few years and haven’t actually tried it until now because Wren & Mr Bump have such sensitive skin.

Okay, so I’m [...]

by Jane on Saturday, 17th May 2008

This is a totally scrummy recipe that WonderHubby has developed over years of trial and error, with me as the innocent guinea pig.
Now, I am not a fan of pumpkin. I don’t even like it in baked dinners.
But this… oh, this!
And on top of that, it’s extremely healthy.
But please don’t tell my kids that.

It’s not a very clear picture, but it’s important.
Tiki had developed feline diabetes about a year earlier, and not long after Wren was born she passed away.
I adopted Tiki when I was 19 and [...]
