Because Winter is virtually here and its the season for flu and all that morbid stuff, I thought (on a happier note) it apt to introduce the juice that will save your soul and sanity from the viral as well as bacterial lurkers of June, July and August. Those party poopers always arrive uninvited so…
Vegetarian
Lentil Cottage Pie
In an effort to eat less meat and more vegetarian meals and of course to be a supporter of Meatless Mondays, I have been looking at how I can make lentils and chickpeas taste good. Let’s be honest, they can be rather bland, yes? BUT!! They are great protein additions and there is hope for…
Rustic French Onion and Mushroom Pasta
This is quite possibly one of the best pastas I have ever tasted. Ever. If I was ever delusional enough to own/run a restaurant, this would definitely feature on the menu. But I like to think that I’m not delusional and I can just post it here instead. Genius. It’s simple and rustic yet full…
Easy Leek and Potato Soup
There are many reasons to love this tasty Leek & Potato soup! Firstly, look at the method, there are 7 ridiculously easy steps. When I look at recipes, I always do a quick glance of the method and it can be an instant turn-on or turn-off for me. Methods shouldn’t be essays, yes?? YES! Secondly, it…
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…
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…
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 –…
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.
Potato Wedges with Sour Cream and Spring Onion Dip
Hello my friendies. How has February been to you? I’ll take that as Fabulous. February for me is party month. Two of my 3 boys have birthdays this month, so I have literally being partying since February 1st. Not that partying and party set-ups ever really leave me because of my work….I sell, amongst other digital products,…
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…
Lemon and Rosemary Roast Potatoes
Good hearty potatoes. Roast potatoes. Roast baby potatoes with lemon butter and Rosemary. Crunchy on the top and soft on the inside. Lemon butter seeping into the heart of the potato. ~ Just imagine if Romeo and Juliet were foodies!! Hah! I think they would be whispering sweet nothings such as these to each other. I…
