OOTD and Weekend Do's

I got a few compliments today on my outfit, which is really nice as I barely wear this dress :)

I find it a little clingy, especially when wearing stockings, so might be better for the warmer months.

On the weekend hubby and I attended a 50th party for his boss at work, so we got dressed up and headed to the Kirribilli Club in North Sydney.
Was really nice to meet his co-workers and chat, and to get out of the house!

We did treat ourselves to icecream on the way home too hehe.

Cannot wait!!

Sydney Biennale chill out day

Friday last week our team was taken out for the afternoon to enjoy relaxing in the sun and also checking out the art installations etc on Cockatoo Island for the Biennale of Sydney,


Was heaps of fun and just what we needed at the end of our week.

We caught a free ferry over then headed to the Island Bar for drinks and pizza - was delicious and the view stunning



Here are some pics of some of the more interesting artworks and installations




This was made completely out of styrofoam, all the links - crazy!

This was cute - loved the sign at the side


All made out of coloured paper


Was a long afternoon, but simply amazing - and is a free event held every 2 years in Sydney. We have a pretty cool city :)

Ciao Lovelies

Baked Vegie Frittata

Here is a pretty simple frittata recipe I tried out, mainly because I had to use the buttermilk in the fridge before it got all scary like ^_^

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 garlic clove  (I added more as I loooove me some garlic)
  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium capsicum, diced
  • 5 button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tomato roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup basil, roughly torn (I used a pinch of dry instead - but I think fresh would taste better)
  • 5 medium eggs
  • Cracked pepper
  • 2 handfuls of baby spinach leaves
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella, grated (I used pizza cheese, as it is a combination of cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan) 






Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C

2. Heat 1tbs oil in a pan and saute onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the rest of your veggies and saute until soft - about 5 more minutes. Add basil leave to one side.


3. Whisk together your eggs and buttermilk, seasoning with pepper. Pour this into an oven proof dish.



4. Cook this in the oven for 5 or so minutes until you have a skin form around the outside.

5. Spoon your veggies into the egg mix and cook for a further 7-10 minutes.


6. Top with your spinach and cheese and leave in the oven until the cheese is melted.


7. Serve and enjoy


I found I was a bit heavy with the basil - hence why I think fresh would of had a nicer taste.

Anyhoo, I am still sick - just had two days off work, so no bueno :( Need to get fit and healthy straight away!

Babies and Batman

I had my sisters baby shower on the weekend, which makes 4 I have been to this year (no-one else is allowed to have babies haha). Was heaps of fun as my sister and I organised it. We had a candy bar, finger food and we also made a pregnant cake :)





I'm also sick at the moment, so tried to stay rugged up this weekend as I need to get better straight away! But we got to catch up with friends on Sunday, missed out on seeing my girlfriends new baby boy (cause I was sick), helped decorate cupcakes






and then finally watched the new batman movie - was awesome!!

Hehe, that's all from me, now home from work to have my hubby cook dinner :)
