Finally My Kids Approved this Tomato and Parmesan Soup
My kids can be fussy little shits sometimes. Yours? Flip. Yoh! They liked tomato soup….from Woolworths. But that “healthy homemade” Woolies soup had waaaaaaay too much sugar for my liking. We are really trying to eat more whole foods and less sugar these days and I thought I could surely replicate their favourite soup but...

Hello strangers! I have a tasty chicken surprise for you today – Chicken Mango Curry. Never thought of mango + chicken as a pair? No? There is chemistry between them I tell you. Not glaringly obvious that they’re a great match but once you get to know them, you learn they have some kind of...

Easy Beef Stew – Tonight’s Yummy Dinner
First off, thanks to Noakes and Co for this recipe, which I’ve adapted from their Raising Superheroes cookbook. The recipe in the book is actually a stew for toddlers which I came across when searching for some new recipes for my baby boy. And you know when you make stuff for your little people you have...

Fiesta Quinoa
I watched a documentary called “Food Choices” a few weeks ago on Netflix (go watch it if you can!!) and ever since then, I’ve increased our “Meatless Mondays” into Wednesdays and Fridays too. Which basically means I need more vegetarian recipes (good ones) in my life! I wanted to share this one with you –...

Easy Chai-Spiced Cupcakes
I did a yoga workshop last weekend – it was 3 hours long. That was not the exciting bit. The exciting bit was the Home-brewed Chai Tea and the carrot-raisin-apple-almond-orange cake we had at the end. I love yoga but food really is always the highlight, right? No amount of downward-facing dog could feel as...

Bacon & Broccoli Salad (Yum!!)
Let’s talk about this salad. We first met in a home industry shop. Unlikely place to meet the salad of your dreams, I know. And funnily enough it was just sitting out on the counter as though it were a piece of cake or something. It looked healthy and I was SO hungry and I...

Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup
So weatherwise for February we are actually doing quite well. Friday last week was a SCORCHER. A little “Hello Announcement” from February.

Slow Cooker Beef Ragu
If ever there ever was a reason to buy a slow cooker – this is it. Slow Cooker Beef Ragu. A friend of mine just bought a slow cooker second hand on Gumtree. Clearly the seller ain’t heard of Slow Cooker Beef Ragu. *Shakes head* There really should be a car sticker that says “Don’t...

YASSSSSS! Creamy, ridiculously addictive, old-fashioned fudge! FUDGE me its good! (sorry) I am going to confess straight up here – this is my 5th time making fudge and its only the first time I have managed to nail it down to the right consistency and taste. That means, I failed FOUR times. Yikes! Granted it was...

Cheese and Sundried Tomato Pinwheels
Today I am sharing one of my favourite (and ridiculously easy) go-to party food recipes. They go by many names, but I call them pinwheels (made out of puff pastry). Highly popular, I am sure you have come across them already? But have you made them? That is the important question? Essentially, you get...

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
Get your stretchy pants on people because carrot cupcakes are here and they are here to stay. The icing is a dessert in itself – the cream cheese is completely heavenly and a natural pairing for carrot cupcakes / cake. I usually reserve this type of icing for carrot cake but now I think to...

Beetroot Salad with Honey & Mustard Dressing
Beetroot. Gross, right? I know, that is totally what I used to think too. And then I actually tasted beetroot, beetroot that was slow roasted with butternut together with creamy feta cheese and OMG. I completely converted on the spot. Soon after my beetroot conversion, I discovered this power salad at my son’s school –...
