Orange, Spinach and Pine Nut Salad
A delicious and quick salad for winter that is the perfect combination of sweet, bitter and crunchy. Great alongside a homemade pizza or big bowl of pasta! I call this my SUNSHINE SALAD! I know, it’s a little cheesy but at the end of winter it’s so nice to have this bright little salad…
Rachel’s Tomato, Pork and Fennel Soup
This is seriously one of the yummiest soups ever and it’s all thanks to my darling friend Rachel. I really want to claim this as my own but to my detriment I am such a goody-good and too scared of being hammered for plagiarism plus I kinda like my friend, just a little, so I…

Roasted Sweet Potato with Chipotle Mayo
Who would have boys? In the past month I have visited the emergency department at the hospital twice, accident and emergency clinic once, and the local GP clinic twice.

Edamame and Miso Salad
Oh I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I did it again. I up and left you all and went on hiatus for a month or so without telling you. I have done it a couple of times before and keep vowing to never do it again but it seems to happen. I…

10 Minute Tortilla Soup
What the heck is Tortilla Soup? Is it Nachos in a bowl? Do I grab a Quesadilla, throw it into a blender and voila I have Tortilla Soup? What an odd concept for a soup! Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yup. The first time I encountered Tortilla Soup on a menu I thought it…
Miso Glazed Eggplant
Did someone say miso? Me so love miso! Hehehe. Yes, I know, that was a terrible joke. Jokes have never been my forte. It’s true though, I do love miso! I can’t get enough of this addictive umami, salty flavour. If there is anything miso on the menu then I just have to have it….
