About
Hi Everyone, My name is Bel.
I am a stay at home Mother of 2.
Nakita is 8 and Clayton is 5.
I keep very busy just looking after the house & kids, I havent a clue how people raise kids & have full time jobs. My hat is off to anyone that can manage that & not go crazy.
I have a background in hospitality. Mostly bar & waitressing but I was getting into the management side of things when I left to start a family. Next year I may do commercial cookery.
This year Clayton has started school, and now they are both there I am volunteering to help out by joining the Parents & Citizens Asoc. in the Vice Presidents role. I am also on the canteen committee which means lots of hours spent catering sporting events & later in the year, a local vintage car show.
My Avatar: That is my son Clayton when he was almost 2 years old. I had just gotten my J.O mortar & pestle for my 30th birthday. How cute is he?
Well, thats it. Me. In a nutshell.

Snow Peas & Rhubarb.
Tue 10 Nov 2009GARDEN BLOG
I was excited today to pick the first of the snow peas/mange toute (sp?) - so excited in fact that less than half made it into my basket...
I love them best raw though very lightly cooked is ok too.
My rhubarb has been very generous, I have 3 clumps - 2 red & one green variety.
This is my 4th big harvest of it - and it promises to just keep on giving so today I started looking at rhubarb chutney recipes.
As soon as I can get brown sugar, more apples & onions I will make my first batch - should be matured in time for Christmas gift baskets.
Todays harvest is currently roasting in the oven after being dressed with a mix of honey, vanilla syrup & a drop of rose geranium oil.
Smells magic & should be fantastic for breakfast with some yogurt.
Slow Cooked Lamb with veg & potato
Mon 09 Nov 2009GENERAL BLOG
I served potatoes that had first been parboiled with rosemary before baking with thyme & olive oil. Plus some shredded cabbage & broccoli & of course bread to mop up the juices.
I dont have any pics of dessert but I made a choc souffle using Lindt mint intense chocolate - I poked a hole in the top of each one & stuffed a spoon of chantilly cream in there & icecream on the side.

It was requested by my sister in law as her 25th birthday dinner after she smelt the last one cooking...it may not be pretty but it sure is tasty.
It was a hit.
Red Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Sun 08 Nov 2009GENERAL BLOG
Hi all, I just made these. They were a lovely light lunch. I was planning them for breakfast but had a marathon phone call & so it was "get your own" 'round here this morning.
I made an apple pancake recipe recently that Clayton liked as they were served with sugar sprinkled over - but I couldnt taste the apple very well - I have changed it to my taste & added the cinnamon as I am looking for ways to add it to our diet & it goes so very well with apple.
These would be a nice Christmas morning breakfast actually.
