I gave the elf chips and ketchup for dinner tonight. Before the pitchforks come out, I will clarify. I gave the elf homemade chips and loaded ketchup for dinner tonight. Loaded ketchup is my new weapon in the war against terrible eater-ism. Not a word, I know. A quick re-hash for any new friends out…
Snack
Rawteasers. Raw Malt Snacks.
These rawteasers are full of malt goodness and are my new go-to movie night treat. I am a very tardy girl this week. I photographed these awesome “rawteasers” days ago but it is only now that I have gotten the opportunity to share them. My apologies. I have been interstate visiting my grandmother, my wonderful…
Amazing Crispy Sprout and Caper Bruschetta
Amazing crispy sprout and caper bruschetta? Who would have thunk it? My daughter is two and has a wonderful habit of celebrating her little wins. Sitting on the potty prompts a joy filled “I did it!” Putting on her own shoes, even if they are on the wrong feet, always elicits happy clapping and sometimes…
Roasted Garlic and Artichoke Hummus w Seeded Flatbreads
The cold has a grip on our beloved Hills already and she has brought a friend. Both my beloveds, the husband and the elf, are in the grip of the season’s first cold. While soups have been bubbling away on the stove for days, I have donned my kitchen ninja cape (I know ninjas don’t…
Homemade Dumplings with Peanut Chilli Sauce
These homemade dumplings with peanut chilli sauce have given me my Yum Cha buzz back. I have been going to Yum Cha for as long as I can remember. I love the chaos of the experience. I love too many people jammed in to a restaurant, the cacophony of chatter making it hard to hear…
Beetroot and Berry Chia Pots
Does it get any prettier than these beetroot and berry chia pots? I am one of the millions who can be counted on to forgo a healthy breakfast for a giant jar of iced coffee. Stumbling around the kitchen at toddler o’clock in the morning trying not to trip over the elf or…
Sweet Georgia Vegan Blondies
These Sweet Georgia Vegan Blondies are gooey, caramely bars of brownie goodness. Angela at Oh She Glows has a recipe for vegan brownies two-ways which, I think is the bee’s knees and its elbows too. I have made these rich, chocolatey, perfect little cakes so many times I could make them blindfolded. These caramel brownies are based…
Lemon Walnut Snack Balls
These lemon walnut snack balls are ticking all the boxes for me. OK, so we’re are in to February and I my mouth is set in a grim line of determination to stick with my New Year’s commitment to better eating. So far, so good. Our main meals are very healthy, it is the…
Ginger Pear Granola Bites
Many moons ago I fell in love with a cake recipe I found in Australia’s Gourmet Traveller magazine. It was a wonderful, comforting ginger spiced apple almond cake and I made it often. The ginger used to curl up and warm the tongue after each bite. Delicious. Today I am playing with the flavours of…
