🎃 Halloween on Saturday? Here's some spooky ideas…


Hi, friend!

Halloween is this Saturday!

And whether your kids have been planning their costumes for weeks or you've only just remembered it's happening, I've got some fun food ideas for you.

Nothing too complicated. Just a few ways to make things a little spooky (and a lot of fun).

👻 For a Halloween Snack Platter

This is probably my favourite way to do Halloween food.

My Halloween Snack Board has eight different ideas you can mix and match, including mandarin pumpkins, cheese monsters, banana ghosts and little chocolate spider webs.

You definitely don't need to make all eight! Pick a few favourites, pop them on a platter, and suddenly you've got a Halloween spread.

👻 For school parties and shared morning teas

If you've been asked to bring something Halloween-themed to school, this collection is a great place to start.

Think mummy cookies, spider web pretzels, banana ghosts and lots more. There are plenty of easy, nut-free ideas that don't require fancy decorating skills.

👻 And something spooky to drink…

If you're having friends over or just want to make Saturday afternoon a bit special, my Halloween Fruit Punch is a fun addition.

It's a gorgeous purple colour thanks to blueberries, with floating lychee eyeballs for a little spooky surprise.

Remember, Halloween doesn't have to involve hours of preparation.

Sometimes a mandarin with a celery stalk poked in the top is all it takes to make a little pumpkin!

Have a wonderful Halloween with your little ghosts and goblins.

Chicken Teriyaki Couscous and other Spring recipes

Hello! Isn't it nice having a bit more daylight in the evenings? Now that spring is well and truly here, I'm finding myself in the mood for dinners that are a little lighter, a little more colourful, and don't involve spending ages in the kitchen. So I've pulled together three family dinners that fit the bill. Different flavours, different ingredients, and all easy enough for a weeknight.

3 easy, healthy lunchbox ideas

Hello! Well, we're one week into Term 4 already! Hopefully everyone's settling back into the school routine after the holidays. Although I have to say, it doesn't take long for the novelty of packing lunchboxes to wear off, does it? And with the end-of-year busyness starting to creep in, I'm all for keeping things simple. So if your lunchbox inspiration could do with a little boost, I've got three ideas for you this week. 🍕 Something savoury: Pizza Muffins Pizza flavours in muffin form? Yes...

3 School Holiday lunch ideas

Hello! One of my favourite things about school holiday lunches? They don't have to survive a lunchbox. No worrying about whether it'll go soggy, stay warm, get squashed or come home completely untouched. So while we've still got another week of school holidays ahead of us, I thought I'd share three easy lunches that are particularly good when the kids are home - warm, quick and just a little more fun than the usual sandwich. 🍕 When you need lunch NOW: Pizza Toast This is barely a recipe -...
