NSW Central Coast Photographer – May 10 on 10

I love the 10th of each month for the 10 on 10 challenge. Today’s instalment has Alice home from school not feeling the best.  My husband has also been away for a week (with another week to go) on a course for work and we are starting to miss him around the place. Today we’ve done the grocery shopping and bought some Mother’s Day flowers for the grandmothers. We’ve done Alice’s home reading homework and had a little adventure across the road to feed the horses and play in the mud. We even found some little cherry tomatoes growing in the open drain over there. Win! Having a nice quiet day with my sweet girl.

NSW Central Coast Photographer – Autumn Pretties

We are lucky enough to live in the street next to these amazing trees. For the past 4 years I’ve photographed them throughout the seasons but Autumn is by far my favourite. It has become a tradition to photograph my girls with the Autumn trees each year. Here is this year’s photos from our Autumn session. Aren’t the colours amazing? Such a beautiful location.

NSW Central Coast Photographer – ANZAC biscuits

A tradition in my house is making ANZAC biscuits on ANZAC Day. They would have to be one of my all time favourite biscuits and so easy to make with ingredients that we always have in the cupboard. I must confess I eat most of the dough before they even make it to the oven. Tomorrow my girls and I will be baking these yummy treats to take on a picnic. Will you be baking ANZACs too? Do you like yours crunchy or chewy? I think I like chewy best but really am not too fussy when it comes to ANZACs.

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
¾ cup desiccated coconut
150g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 ½ tablespoons bicarbonate of soda

  1. Preheat oven to 1500C . Line baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut in a large bowl. Melt butter and golden syrup together in a small saucepan.
  3. Mix boiling water and soda together. Mix into butter mixture. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Place spoonfuls of mixture onto baking trays.
  5. Bake at 1500C for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Loosen while warm. Cool on trays. Transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container (if they last that long).

ENJOY and may we remember those brave men and women who fought and continue to fight for our country.
