I never really understood the appeal of a sausage roll until I came to Australia. The whole thing seemed a bit American to be honest. Fatty meat wrapped in pastry eaten with ketchup (tomato sauce)...it sounded gross. News flash: IT IS NOT GROSS. I can remember when I officially fell in love with the Aussie…
This is one of our absolute favorite salads to order when we're out or toss together as a refreshing side to pretty much any Asian meal. Cucumbers are so often overlooked and just tossed into a salad or thrown into a juicer with 10 other vegetables. It's not very often that they take center stage…
A few weeks ago I put up a recipe for the best red sauce ever, and I had quite a few people asking me where the recipe for meatballs was. Well, to be completely honest, I did make meatballs to go with that red sauce, I just didn't think they were the best meatballs ever. So I've…
I'm a big advocate for frozen peas. Sometimes I even eat them straight out of the bag...still frozen (YUM), but there's something to be said for fresh peas...I have very vivid memories of shelling fresh pea's for my dad on Thanksgiving. I wasn't allowed to go to a friends house until I was finished, which…
This one of those things, similar to my Thai Green Curry Paste recipe, that if you have the time, you could (should) be making at home instead of buying from a store. You pretty much put everything into a food processor and voilà! you've got hummus. Too easy. Makes 3 cups hummus 800g chickpeas (2 cans),…
I'm that annoying person that says they're hungry, leaves the house without eating or grabbing a snack, then complains about how hungry they are until they finally get food an hour or so later. In an effort to not be that person, Hayden suggested that I make a bar, similar to the ones I'm always…
One of my favorite recipes when I want something filling and cozy without going into a food coma immediately after eating (depending on how much sour cream and cheese you add...I add a lot). Eat on it's own or with any toppings you like- sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, coriander (cilantro), hot sauce, lime, cheese..…
I've been procrastinating making these cookies for my blog because everyone likes a different type or style. Some like chewy, some like crisp, some like thin, some like thick. You get it. These are my favorite style of chocolate chip cookies. They are crispy on the edges and outside and lightly chewy in the center.…
It's 82ºF in Sydney right now, at 8am...it's not even "summer" yet. The only thing (besides a cold Champagne or pint of ice-cream) that sounds appealing to me right now is a smoothie. So here is my favorite smoothie recipe. I like to add in a handful of spinach and some chia seeds as well…
I feel like there are three types of kale eaters in the world. The first, eat kale regularly and thoroughly enjoy it in all of it's forms and preparations. The second (me), enjoy the occasional kale chip, pasta with (a small amount of) kale or even a kale salad smothered in amazing dressing with toppings.…
