The town I moved to last year has so many community events going on all the time, it’s really a lovely place to live and I’m so glad I found it. Since having Darryl I have found time to meet new mummy friends and attend some of the midweek day time activities such as Baby … Continue reading
Since having baby Darryl, now 5 and a 1/2 weeks old, I have been keen to get back into the kitchen. Mainly because I missed having some time to myself to be creative or to unwind; I love my days with Darryl more than anything but these first few weeks are so intense – day … Continue reading
I’ve been keeping things simple recently, classic flavours with not too much effort. It’s been lovely! Food is best enjoyed at one’s leisure and I think the effect of a rather upheaved life teamed with a busy lifestyle has meant I have slowed down and stepped back in other areas.

NBC state that although “Bejo Zaden’s Australian subsidiary has run out of kale seeds, its U.S. unit … Continue reading
In keeping with the theme of bringing recipes back to basics and sharing with you some of the more simple snacks I like to make, today I am sharing a recipe for really easy home made vegetable crisps. I love savoury food and although I try not to eat crisps too often they are still … Continue reading
Curried cous cous isn’t something that you see everyday however I think cous cous makes a perfect base to spices as it is a blank canvas that absorbs up flavours and holds them well. You could use rice to make this gluten free or if you have rice in the cupboard instead. Peaches have been … Continue reading
Tofu scramble is one of those things that when done well can be simply the best vegan breakfast ever! I love scrambled eggs and was convinced nothing would ever replace this breakfast in my life. The first time I tried scrambled tofu it was awful, bland and mushy. It took me awhile to try it … Continue reading
