For the love of food
You know how I said that my eating is all about balance? Well this is the perfect example. Last week, I was lucky enough to have three girlfriends (and the gorgeous twins) over to lunch mid-week. It was probably the first time that’s happened since we were all at uni at least five years ago [...]
This morning while I was powering away on the treadmill I was hit with such a strong pang of illness it brought tears to my eyes. Oh don’t worry, I will be ok, for I was suffering from a case of Green and Gold Malaria or ‘good old Aussie pride.’ As I watched Sally Pearson [...]
Last night I did something shameful. When Masterchef ended, I didn’t change the channel. I left it on The Shire and I watched it, jaw on the floor the whole episode. For those of you not unlucky enough to have this show, it’s a reality show that follows around some very interesting young people in [...]
My sister bought us tickets to the Brisbane Comedy Festival for Christmas and last Thursday night was our night. I love going to shows during the week but I often face the dinner dilemma. The show was at 7.15pm. To eat before, which would be about 6pm (we normally eat between 7.30 and 8) or [...]
Pinch and a punch for the first of the month! Happy autumn everyone! I’m not sure if you remember, but at the end of autumn last year I said that I was going to challenge myself to take a photo for a year. Fast forward a month or two and somebody (me!) got engaged and [...]
It wasn’t until about two years ago that mushrooms and I were properly introduced. Before then I thought of them as the slightly ugly vegetable that I didn’t really know what to do with. As you know I’ve come a long way in my food exploring and now I love them. They’re one of my [...]
I love a quick, healthy meal and when I’m not grilling up some halloumi or baking some eggplant parmigiana, I often turn to noodle soup. It’s so easy to make and so versatile. The latest version that I made used a Continental Stock pot which I won on Not Quite Nigella a little while ago, [...]
I’ve made this recipe more times than I can remember. It’s easy, healthy and always a crowd pleaser. Serve it hot or cold in noodle boxes at a party or eat it out of a plastic bowl on the couch (or anything in between). Just recently, I discovered Carnation’s light and creamy coconut flavoured evaporated [...]
