Chocolate Mud Cake with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Icing

Matthew bought me a really awesome cake for my actual birthday dinner, a blog and pics of that night to come. But when it came to my picnic celebration that weekend I couldn't get the cake I wanted, so decided to make it myself. This is the result!!

Mushroom Pie with Seeded Mustard Mash Pototoes and Baby Peas

Tonight I made one of our favourites, Mushroom pie with ginger and shallots, seeded mustard mash, and baby peas. Matthew and I like our pie a bit deeper so we use a 24cm deep quiche dish, but a regular pie dish works just fine and that is how I used to make it.

1 year and counting...

It has been over a year since my last post. A very busy and good year at that. A trip back to the states, my first Christmas in Australia, new company ventures for Matthew and I, our birthdays, some new cars, and our 1 year anniversary. I'll make another post soon with photos from some of those events. Also I plan on bringing back posting recipes that I have been making.
