Thanksgiving 2010 recap

By Mikaela ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

This is the first year I’ve hosted a thanksgiving, I think I’d like to make it a tradition with our friends from now on. They really enjoyed the novelty of it, since not a lot of Aussies celebrate Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day we had JA’s dad, his sister Katie & her boyfriend Pete, Chloé & [...]

Birthday Dinner #1

By Mikaela ⋅ November 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m one of those people that likes to drag their birthday out for as long as possible, with numerous celebrations over a few days or a week! Last year I had a Halloween Party to celebrate my 25th, this year I didn’t have anything really planned because my parents and bestie are going to be [...]

Happy Halloween : part 2

By Mikaela ⋅ November 1, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Yesterday I made some spooky cupcakes to celebrate Halloween, then walked over with JA and the dogs to Clo’s house to give a couple to them. They turned out a treat, I think they look better in real life though!

Weekend Shenanigans

By Mikaela ⋅ May 16, 2010 ⋅ One comment

This weekend was full of fun and goodness and chaos and bedlam. But so good! Friday night we went to tacos (as usual) at JA’s parents place. Erin came down from Newcastle for the weekend so she was there, as well as Katie and her boyfriend Pete. It was nice to hang out with everyone, [...]

What a lovely afternoon

By Mikaela ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

Today I hosted another Tea Party, this one being much more successful than the last (where everyone canceled and it was my mum and I eating all the finger food by ourselves haha! disaster). 11 gorgeous girls came over (including school friends, work friends, mums and my 90 year old Nandy) to play ladies, and [...]

Hamburgers for Dinner

By Mikaela ⋅ January 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We had giant hamburgers for dinner. Bun, tomato sauce, mustard, cheese, hot chilli meat pattie, more cheese, pineapple, beetroot, tomato, lettuce, avocado, bun. YUM. Giant! I had two. See my last post about always eating too much.

Homemade Bruschetta

By Mikaela ⋅ January 6, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Yesterday I was in Coles and saw this yummo looking Italian bread which inspired me to make Bruschetta as an entreé to dinner last night. I forgot to get Olive Oil when I was there so had to improvise with peanut oil, but it wasn’t too bad. I buttered the bread (no oil, remember?), spread [...]

Handmade Christmas Cookie Gifts

By Mikaela ⋅ December 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The other day I tried my hand at baking some Christmas cookies to give as gifts this year, and I must say they turned out pretty cute! I just used a simple butter biscuit/cookie recipe and cut out circles and star shapes using standard cookie cutters. My initial idea was to create little Christmas trees [...]

Bread Pudding Recipe

By Mikaela ⋅ December 13, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

As part of my to do list I’m trying to cook new recipes to build my repertoire (ie, learn how to make lots of yummy food because I’m a piggy). So when mum asked me to bring a summer pudding to our early Christmas BBQ last week like I had made for thanksgiving, I asked [...]

Pasta Salad Recipe: Best you’ll ever taste

By Mikaela ⋅ October 20, 2009 ⋅ One comment

This is a recipe I sort of made up about 4 years ago. I think it’s probably based on something I had once and I just tried to remember the ingredients when putting it together. I’ve got it down to a fine art now, everyone loves this salad. It goes perfectly with snags and steak [...]

Hello!

I'm Mikaela, 27, married to a spunk, muma to a bubba boy, and busy (mostly by choice, I suck at relaxing). I love life and have too many ideas in my head, and wish there were more hours in the day (I'm sure old people always said that when I was growing up). I live in and love Canberra, Australia (2 hours to beach or snow, what more could you ask for?). I'm a freelance designer, high school & uni teacher, and I'm working towards my dream house one DIY at a time, along with numerous other side-ventures... For more about me, go to the about page =)
