Hi my names bree, which is short for Brionaigh. Don't ask how to pronounce it cause you will probably never get it! lol. I am 16 years old and living on the Mornington Peninsula Victoria Australia. I'm currently completing year 11 VCE in high school in victoria australia. I have a passion for irish dancing which takes up more of my life than school and home work and i compete in state and national competitions each year. travelling to many different states in Australia is part of Irish Dancing. In my spare time i love to cook with my mum in the kitchen and make anything we can come up with from what we have in our pantry. I also spend alot of my time on the internet chatting with my friends and just avoiding homework. I take foodtech as one of my vce subjects and love to spend a double period in the kitchen with my friends. Hope you enjoy some of my simple recipes that I love to make on a weekly basis.
