Recipe Links

I love recipes. I'm one of those people who have about 100 cookbooks all doggy-eared on something I must make. The problem being is that I never seem to get back to it and when I do, I think "eww gosh, what was I thinking?"

Lately I've been finding sites online for recipes that I LOVE!! I only print them if I KNOW I'm going to make them and it seems to be a good system. Some of my favourite recipe sites include the good old Women's Weekly Recipe Finder, Cooks.com and Top Secret Recipes (home to Hard Rock Cafe's pig sandwich & other great rip-off recipes).

I use an online supermarket called Food Direct (as they deliver and carry the groceries up the stairs for me) and recently I found a really yummy recipe on there for Thai Banana Salsa. All I had to do was simply press "order ingredients" and it ordered them all for me so I knew that the salsa ingredients were on their way - no backing out now.

What Is Essential to Me

I've been thinking about this and gosh, it's been hard for me to decide but I think I'm going to have to go with my coffee machine - a DeLonghi Magnifica Automatic Cappuccino Machine.

I cannot live without it. It helps me start my day especially if my daughter has kept me up half the night. This machine is FULLY automatic...tells ME when it needs cleaning or filling, etc. It grinds its own beans or you can add pre-ground. AND it froths the milk (for coffees, tea or hot chocolates).

It's a very smart machine and one that I just simply depend on for myself, guests, clients, etc. I bought it for my husband for his 30th. It was slightly expensive but worth its weight in gold!
