Nooo! I'm going to a Tupperware party on Tuesday night. I don't need to see this temptation! ;-)

We had some family over for a big meal of roast pork followed by apple pie and ice-cream (we're heading into winter down here!). The pie was store bought but I made gravy from scratch! We drank lov...

I already plan our meals too. I've been practicing my knife skills, like dicing onions and garlic. I've also been trying to plan and cook cupboard (and garden!) meals, using things we already have ...

I just cut up an onion exactly as demonstrated and the first thing I thought when I'd finished was: "Oooh... that really is perfectly diced onion." I'm sure there was ev...

Spices! Herbs and spices! I'm all ready to make a soup from scratch, no recipe, just inspiration, and I think I've almost got it down but I've realised I don't know how to season!

The biggest problem I'm facing is keeping my kitchen clean. We use it every day - for meals, to make baby foods, treats and more, so it gets grubby quickly. Time to break out the cleaning vi...

Thank you! I manage legs and thighs easily enough but always seem to make a hacked up mess of the breast meat. I've watched the video twice and now feel pretty confident for next time...

I've just started trying to cook stir-fries at home and now really understand the need for mise en place! Such different prep is necessary compared to that needed to cook long, slow casseroles and ...

Lovely picture. I've just spent the last few hours reviewing my two worst cupboards - the ones where I keep appliances, baking equipment, cutting boards, serving dishes and more.

I'm looking for a zester. So many recipes call for zest!

Tackling the bathroom today! I've already made a list of the bits and pieces I'd like to buy: a ceramic hand soap dispenser to replace the plastic supermarket one, a hook to hang the ...

Oooh... there's my fridge.... I LOVE looking at pictures of cleaned-out cupboards! ;-) Thanks everyone, for sharing. :-)

We use puff pastry to write our children's names on top of any family-size pie we make. It uses up the scraps of pastry and entertains the babies. :-)

I've recently gone vinegar crazy. I mixed vinegar and water together in a spray bottle and now no surface is safe... I love the stuff. Vinegar smell=clean! Also, my two cents on the ov...

Hi guys, I hope everyone is enjoying that deep-cleansing high that accompanies a cure... Compliments to Sara Kate and all of the other bloggers on the frequency and volume...

I'm sure I've got some wilted celery, and I've had a chicken carcass in the freezer for a couple of weeks now, just waiting to be made into stock. Today's the day! Thanks for all of the great links!

Wow. I just halved the condiments living in my fridge door...

Wow! I'm already ahead! We went grocery shopping yesterday and everything got a good wipe down before we re-stocked the cupboards. I'll take a few photos today though to show and tell...

How is everyone going? My motivation kicked in last week and I've been working through my list of jobs pretty steadily for the last few days. When it all gets too much I sit down with ...

Hi everyone, I'm Phillippa. I've taken part in The Cure before, the last time about 18 months ago, fueled by pregnancy nesting urges! I'm not feeling particularly motivated right now (...
