Photojojo - The Camera Cookie Cutter Set

Have your camera "and eat it too" with this set of three camera shaped cookie cutters.

You get three different designs: an SLR, a classic rangefinder, and an old-school twin reflex camera.

The set also comes with a dough stamp, perfect for stenciling out camera details with frosting and sprinkles (take that, Ace of Cakes).

You'll even get a fool-proof cookie recipe that even the most culinary-challenged shutterbug can follow!

Just whip up a batch of sugary shutter treats, and you'll be the coolest kid at the camera club -- that's pretty sweet!

Buy them at Photojojo

Note: I was not paid in any way to share the awesomeness that is Photojojo

My favourite treats - Good Earth Green Tea with Lemongrass

One of my favourite treats of late is to squeeze a lemon into a cup of Good Earth Green Tea with Lemongrass.

It is decaffeinated and is full of antioxidants and is perfect for drinking with a meal.

This blend starts with premium steamed green tea and is complemented with citrus flavors and lemongrass that's bold and delicious Good Earth Tea contains no sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

The amazing smell of lemon and lemongrass means that you are treated to a big loving dose of aromatherapy and it helps cut any oils from a meal and is a natural breath freshener. Use the empty tea bag later on your eyes to reduce puffiness.

Empty the contents of the tea bag into a cup and pour hot water into it to continue the aromatherapy. I've also put it into my bathwater for a lemony bath. You could even smoke fish with it.

Wray Organics Store Tour and Tastings

On Saturday 8th of December my husband Philip and I went along to our local Wray Organics Market and Cafe for a 'store tour and tastings' which had been announced on their Facebook page.

Tastings included samples of their amazing organic products which included: fruit salad featuring jaw-droppingly delicious mango, watermelon, cherry, peach and some cream; next was sprouted bread with goats cheese and cherry tomato on top; then kale and asparagus salad with olive oil, lemon juice and sprouts; desert sample was a cup of christmas cheer including organic christmas cake with christmas CocoLuscious coconut icecream, mince pie,pouring cream and cherries. YUMM!

We also tasted some Ginger Beer made with Galangal - Thai ginger; and some coconut water - which I swear by to hydrate. To end our sampling experience, those that were game were given a taste of the Loving Earth AFA Blue Green Algae powder in water - which Marion our guide has every day. It tasted slightly like nori - which we love! Loving Earth AFA has amazing properties which you can read about here.

My husband and I had a great morning and learned a lot about the huge range of products at Wrays Organics - my favourite store.

I would rather have small amount of quality than a large amount of pesticides, meat and fish treated with antibiotics; preserved with chemicals, then tinted for attractiveness. Meat sold at Wray Organics is provided by the Meat-Ting Place - an organic butcher that preserves his meat the old fashioned way - with salt and natural tint of beetroot juice.

Gone are the days I eat dried fruit full of sulphur. Of white flour bread that is so low in nutrients you may as well not eat it. Fruit picked green and gassed to ripen. Why spend money on cheap food that then goes off or has no taste.

The cherry tomatoes we tasted just EXPLODED with flavour. As did the other organic fruit we sampled.

The asparagus was so fresh and delicious we ate it raw. As did the kale and chard. So full of nutrients, fresh and organically farmed.

I just feel GOOD when I walk in and meander around Wray Organics and even better when I leave with new products to try as well as my favourites - such as the Goats Cheese Marinated; and Sheep's Milk Yoghurt.

Elgaar Farm Bio Active™ (Probiotic) milk is something I will be trying.

"Elgaar Farm’s unique probiotic milk – our fresh organic milk with the benefit of our unique probiotic cultures, adding numerous beneficial lactic bacteria and enzymes but tastes just like normal milk. Elgaar Farm Bio Active™ (Probiotic) Full Cream Milk is not homogenised, which means that the cream will rise naturally to the top. Just shake well if you prefer"

I am just so blessed to have such amazing store so close to where I live.

Shopping Online: Heirloom seeds by Eerene (nabu9)

Buying seeds online

When shopping for local items on Ebay I spotted some very colourful seeds for sale by
nabu9. I purchased ten packs of seeds from Eerene of Alexandria Hills, QLD and was given an extra ten pack of seeds based on the amount spent. I doubled up on some of the seeds as I will be sharing them with friends and family.

I have listed some of my purchases below. They will soon be planted in my raised garden beds. Heirloom seeds have become a new obsession for me. As has seed cultivation. I find it so interesting to have a purple bean that features a wild orchid flower; miniature baby eggplants (very healthy for you); a polkadot cabbage lettuce that is great for salads; a tomato variety from the persian gulf that is classed as a dessert tomato and is said to have flavours of mango and peach; Egyptian mini dill; ancient Thai princess carrots; notre dame aka watermelon radish looks so stunning and is very healthy for you; golden stone age orange strawberries that are said to have more flavour than standard ones; Andes legend peach strawberries.
