home made graham crackers

June 30th, 2011|Categories: recipes|Tags: , |4 Comments

Lately I have been craving graham crackers. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re like a sweet biscuit with a distinct honey or cinnamon flavour. You can buy them in Australia from USA Foods, but they’re $10 a box. Boo.I thought surely you can make them yourself? Yes, you can! I found this recipe here and it worked well for me. The results were delicious. Every single person I gave one to absolutely loved them. Graham CrackersIngredients: 2 1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp / 375g plain flour1 cup / 176g dark brown sugar, lightly […]

memory

This game is one that my little guy LOVED.What’s great about it is it is fun for the kiddos, helps build memory power, is quick and can be ready at a few moments notice. I just went around the house and grabbed a few things that would fit on a tray. For Noah I choose about 6 things as I feel this is a good number for his age. Sometimes we do more, sometimes less if I’ve picked a tricky combo! {like all yellow coloured items, etc}Just line them up on the tray and cover […]

Yes, they are actually quite do-able!This was one of the things on our Winter Fun List, a list of things our family would like to do during this winter season. I love winter!I contemplated making my own marshmallows before but I assumed they’d be super difficult. Turns out they’re not difficult at all! They taste really good and you get the satisfaction of knowing there is nothing nasty in your home made little clouds of yumminess. I wish I had a cloud cookie cutter because that would have been PERFECTLY cute for these :o}Although, […]

Hello!It’s been a while. Things have been full on in our delightful home. I had a really difficult semester at uni … tough units that were not easy to get my head around.Coupled with so much more going on at the same time and I’m feeling burnt out.I also received a couple of not so nice emails and while I try to tell myself they don’t matter, it’s not always that easy. They were personal attacks, and came at a really bad time for myself and my family.I just feel that this quote is so […]

I have met some lovely people and have formed new friendships and found new things I really enjoy doing {like printables!}.Since starting my little blog I have received some lovely lovely emails {and only some […]
