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…
5-Star Vegetarian Stroganoff
Well hello 5-Star Vegetarian Stroganoff. Helloooo. Uhm does this look yummy or what? Do you see this pan of pasta and sauce right here. Got a visual? Well, it is roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head tasty. It is also my new FAVOURITE sauce and soon to be your new FAVOURITE sauce too. My husband and I devoured this entire…
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. I remember this well because we held our littlest boys birthday party on Friday and we had about 300 kids in our swimming pool and I was running around sweating like a gypsy…
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…
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…
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 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…
Mango Chicken Curry
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…

Camembert with Fig and Pistachios
The thing with entertaining is that you want to serve something stylish but you don’t want to be in the kitchen for hours creating that style, right? Yes, I hear you. We speak the same language.
