Australia Day 2015



Australia Day 2015 rolled around...the temperature had dropped dramatically from yesterday which was a welcome relief!

 With no plans and no commitments we decided on a quiet day at home....which turned into a bit of an Aussie Food Extravaganza!


After breakfast the girls and I hit the kitchen and got baking!
Miss 6 got her hands dirty making Tim Tam balls from a recipe we found at Best Recipes.....oh my gosh they were divine!!


Miss 10 made use of her 2015 Alice Miranda diary and made Mrs McInnerney's Honey Jumbles...definitely better than the store bought ones!



Miss 13 tried her hand at the classic Monte Carlo biscuit thanks to a recipe by Lucy at Play Bake Smile



Miss 15 made a lamington inspired cake thanks to Butter Hearts Sugar....and it is soooo good!!


And last but not least Miss 17 made a good 'ol pavlova...with an Aussie twist...inspired by Cooker and a Looker...didn't turn out too badly either....and then there were fights over who would eat which state!!



 Needless to say we are all pretty full right now!!


Hope you all had a great Australia Day...what did you get up to?  
was there a lot of food involved?!?!

    Oh my goodness I want it all!! I CAN NOT WAIT until my son is old enough to cook for me. That's why we have kids right? So they can cook and clean for us?? ;)
