Every weekday morning Elliot and I have porridge and at the moment, the dark depths of winter, we have a cup of tea quickly proceeding the hot bowl of porridge. Now, I’m big on manners, and often I’ll pretend I haven’t heard Elliot until he uses please or thank you (is that rude?). This morning […]

Cheesy-Mite Scroll
I know Australia Day was yesterday and I’m a little late to the party but I really wanted to share this cheesy-mite scroll recipe and a little about my first baking experience with Elliot. I love to bake, sugary sweet treats, muffins, cookies, cakes anything but I also love to be ordered, quick and in […]
Quick and Easy Vegetable Slice
Some days I love to cook up a storm. I spend the day in the kitchen, multiple things on the go at once and I can coordinate everything. These are the days where I feel invincible. I had one of those days last weekend. I’d cooked dinner for 3 days in advance, this vegetable slice […]
Crumbed Mussels
This post is written in partnership with Roza’s Gourmet Sauces. We’re so lucky to live where we do. If we ever feel the need for fresh seafood on a budget, J just jumps in his kayak (which he loves) and heads out to harvest mussels off the jetty. It’s one of the achievable things in […]
Sugar-Crusted, Spiced Macadamia Nuts
Things have been busy around these parts, but then who isn’t busy at this time of the year? There’s decorations to hang, presents to wrap, Christmas parties to attend, pantries to fill for the all important food day, and then regular life must still continue on top of all of that. On top of the […]
Vegetarian Sausage Rolls
There’s nothing better than sausage rolls for lunch. J has a thing for bakery sausage rolls, you could say that he’s a connoisseur. We have two bakeries in our tiny town, I used to work at one of them, The Bakehouse, so you could say that I had an alliance to that bakery. At this […]
Amaze-balls! Raw Seed and Dried Fruit Power Balls.
I never thought I could be hungrier than while I was pregnant. I didn’t eat too much more than usual, but I did eat constantly. Since I’ve started breast feeding I’ve been absolutely famished, needing constant food and snacking on things that aren’t necessarily great for me, biscuits, cakes, brownies. So I needed to find […]
Foodie Secret Santa
Nothing screams “Christmas Foodie Gift” to me like this amazing almond butter crunch. So when Claire (Claire K Creations) emailed me asking if I wanted to be involved in a Foodie Secret Santa, it was the first thing that came to mind. I text my mum’s amazing friend Deb, to see if she was happy […]
Maple Syrup Yoghurt
We try to do as much as we can at home. Currently there’s 11 varying loaves of bread rising on the bench, we’ve just been out wrangling the chickens and J just washed up the food processor, after making hummus. (We also love to make our own tortillas, dips and preserves.) Something else that I’ve really loved making is my own […]
Guest Post: Roasted Eggplant Dip
I’m currently away, adventuring in Nepal and the amazing Lizzie from Strayed From the Table has written a post to share with you all. After discovering only recently young Clare use to be a vegetarian for quite some years I was taken back as my stint of vegetarianism only lasted 4 years. I missed eating […]
Apple Slice
Welcome, it’s lovely to meet you! this slice is my absolute favourite recipe. I hope you love it too. Bake it, then settle in with a cup of tea. Maybe you’d like these too, and these are super quick and delicious. This was published in the Herald Sun on Friday 24th of May Mary Bond […]
Moroccan Carrot Dip
A small barn, no bigger than our kitchen, tables line the walls, a small selection of vegetables sitting atop them. The Buy Bellarine Produce barn is where we buy our fruit and vegetables once a week. The market is only open on Saturday’s and only supplies locally grown, seasonal produce. We buy only what they […]
