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 [...]
In 2013 I’m going to continue to expand my eating repertoire. This year I’m going to find at least 10 salads that I like and make them every now and then. I’ve established that traditional salads with lots of lettuce are not my cup of tea. For me, a salad has to have a bit of oomph and [...]
It would appear that what I thought was the end of my stupid spring cold was actually the eye of it. I thought I was over it and on the mend but Sunday night took a turn again and am now afflicted with a very unattractive cough. Yesterday I downed nearly two liters of lemon [...]
After starting yesterday’s post with a little bit of karma it seemed the whole day was full of it. It wasn’t too far away but far enough for it to be annoying. I’m talking about the distance between my car and the trolley return bay. There was an older gentleman waiting for my car park. [...]
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 [...]
Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, fetta and avocado – that was my standard salad mix until recently. I’m not a big salad eater, it was more of a token salad whenever I made it. I have come a long way in recent times and grown to love a lot of the things that I previously disliked. This [...]
Please forgive me for my lack of posting yesterday. I was off at the doc being told I yet again have tonsillitis. Thankfully I was onto the antibiotics early and feeling slightly better today so heading in the right direction. I do have a very easy and pretty recipe to make up for my brief [...]
This recipe is a slight variation on one from my friend Lani. It’s easy to prepare, tastes great and lasts a few days in the fridge. This makes it the perfect summer recipe in my books. Pesto pasta salad 500g dried small pasta – I think spirals are best as they grab the other ingredients. [...]
I made this festive looking side dish for our early family Christmas feast last night. It was very quick and easy to prepare and tasted great – ticked all the boxes for me. Tomato and capsicum bake Serves 6 – I think this would be if you were having only this and some meat – [...]
