Are there some recipes that are your go-to when you have family or friends over for dinner? The last few times I’ve had visitors, and I didn’t know what to cook, I chose a classic and family favourite: roast chicken. My roast chicken has a bit of a fresh twist with a lemon and thyme … Continue reading Lemon and Thyme Roast Chicken with Gravy
Some of my readers may have heard of Veganuary. For those who haven't it's a food challenge where you eat vegan foods for the whole month of January. So that's no products that come from an animal - including cutting out honey and even some wines! The purpose is to raise awareness of animal suffering, … Continue reading Veganuary Challenge 2017
Those who know me know that I love breakfast. I love going out for breakfast, I love making breakfast and I especially love eating breakfast. Protein such as eggs are always a staple part of breakfast, and I am happy to share one of my favourite egg recipes. This is a great vegetarian recipe, … Continue reading Spinach and Mushroom Omelette Recipe
I used to love eating tabbouleh. It is fresh and a perfect side dish for summer. The only problem is that since becoming gluten intolerant, I can't eat cous cous, which is one of the main ingredients in tabbouleh. For years I have had to say no to the delicious mix of tomato, onion … Continue reading Quinoa Tabbouleh

Is it just me or is "kale" the new buzzword? Actually, it's more like "superfood" is the buzzword but kale is definitely the flavour of the month... We hear it everywhere: add it to smoothies, it's on the menu at the hip new restaurant, blah blah blah. Well I decided that I should just see … Continue reading Kale, Beetroot and Feta Salad
It feels like summer has finally hit us here down under! The last few weeks have had cool mornings and average days. There's been rain and storms almost every afternoon for the past 3 weeks, making a trip to the pool or river the last thing on everyone's mind. One thing that doesn't depend on … Continue reading Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie
Those close to me they know that I've been suffering from a low mood of late. I thought it was just the post travel blues but it might be more than that. Struggling to find full time work, working late nights, juggling three casual jobs, having a lack of money, not having a licence or … Continue reading Health and Happiness
I love finding new recipes and trying them out. Although I always tend to change things and substitute, so it's never really the same as the recipe. This is because I'm one of those annoying gluten intolerant people, so I need to carefully consider every ingredient that goes into a dish - otherwise I will … Continue reading Stuffed Capsicums
