We got home from camping at 2pm Saturday, we’d been in the car since 10am and we spent an hour unpacking. The last thing I wanted to do was to cook dinner. We could have ordered take away but honestly I couldn’t be bothered competing with the tourists in our town for fish and chips, […]

Meal Planning – Winter Warmers and a birthday
This meal plan is a little late for me. Usually I do it every second Thursday but as we didn’t get home from Wollangarra until Sunday, I just did a shorter one on Monday morning. It’s full of hearty slow cooker meals and a treat of bought Mexican for Jay’s birthday. Chicken and Coriander Curry Jay […]
Cauliflower Soup with Chorizo Croutons
I was so relieved to sit down to a bowl of this delicious comforting cauliflower soup for lunch today. I crisped up the last of the chorizo croutons in the fry pan and let out a big sigh as I nestled into the couch. You see this morning, I dropped my iPhone in my friends […]
Pumpkin and Lentil ‘Sausage Rolls’
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 […]
Best Veggie Pattie Ever
I mentioned in this fortnight’s meal plan that we’d having veggie patties this week, and that I’d share the recipe with you. It’s delicious, easy and a great one for doubling the recipe, making heaps and freezing for later. I also mentioned in that I first had these patties the night after our wedding. We had […]
Meal Planning – Vegetarian Fortnight
I’m starting to really enjoy the meal planning process. I enjoy finding delicious meals to look forward to all fortnight, finding new dinners that I haven’t cooked before and actually using all those recipes that sit on the bookshelf in the kitchen. We had a very meaty fortnight last fortnight, so I decided to have […]
Vegan Chilli
I love getting to the end of the fortnight and trying to decide on what we’re going to cook with the remaining few things in the fridge and the last few tins in the pantry. Honestly, sometimes it’s tough but mostly it’s kind of a cooking show mystery bag type experience. Last week the result […]
Broccoli Salad
This salad has been with me for a long time. I first learnt a version of it when I use to travel to Cairns on my school holidays, it then became the salad I’d have to take to barbecues when I was studying at uni, now it’s a fabulous salad for late winter when […]
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 […]
Spinach and Ricotta Pie
I took these photos to enter a food blogging competition. I was planning on winning. I mean, you don’t enter and plan on loosing do you? The prize was a 12 week paid position on their blog. I’d love this, because, as with a lot of bloggers, I’m hoping to earn an income from this […]

Falafel
I was vegetarian for 10 years. When I was in year 10 I went off to school camp, Wollangarra, a camp in East Gippsland, Victoria, where there is a flying fox to get in and no electricity, and came home vegetarian. I announced this to my parents upon my arrival home, they both looked unsurprise, and […]
