"A friend of a friend gave me this recipe (yes, everyone seems to be aware that I enjoy cooking and recipes). I am not sure where the recipe originates from, but delicious served on hot toast with butter, with pancakes and/or waffles. Can be kept in the cupboard in sterilised jars for 6 months, or store in the fridge for 2 weeks. A very easy recipe - but delicious!"

<img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name).  My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on.  I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby. My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this.  I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later. When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church. My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.
