Eat & Drink

With 2020 being the year it was, we were starved of new cafes and restaurants opening in the Hills! But one little gem managed to pull it off and has been quietly serving its fans since September. These fans may be disappointed that word is out because we strongly suggest you put a visit in your diary asap!

Given it seems like we may never travel overseas again at the moment, transporting yourself there via great restaurants and delicious food is one way to experience Europe. And if a quick French fix is in order, La Boucherie in Baulkham Hills is an excellent substitute for the real deal.

We've had our eye on the Instagram feed of this local cafe for some time now! We visited recently and had a delicious brunch at this lovely local cafe. And for the month of September they're doing a free coffee with every eat in meal from the breakfast or lunch menu! 

We'd driven past the Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley several times before and always thought it looked gorgeous. We visited recently for brunch and can confirm it's as pretty as a picture and they offer numerous casual drop-in dining options that are great for mums!

This chicken casserole recipe is delicious! We make it a lot during winter as everyone in the family loves it!

Now that Spring has sprung, the weather is starting to warm up - time to clean that barbeque! Here are a couple of spice rubs to add a little zing to your grill!

Here's an easy dinner for the whole family to enjoy that may even see kids eat a vegetable or two!
