A few weeks ago our friend Ang requested that I make a recipe that uses persimmons because she loves them so much. To be honest, I'd never (knowingly) had a persimmon until today...and I think I love them too. This galette is super easy and highlights the persimmons perfectly. I originally shot the galette WITHOUT…
You know when people say things like "I just whipped this up!" and it's something amazingly delicious that you think took at least 30 minutes to make? This is one of those things. I was feeling a bit peckish this afternoon but didn't want anything too filling as I've made a massive batch of my Healing…
I love a good meatball sub, and this one would have to be my all time favorite. Simple, not fussy, with LOTS of cheese. Makes 2 meatball subs 1/2 batch of my Classic Meatballs 2 cups of The Best Red Sauce Ever 1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into thick disks 1/2 cup parmesan, freshly grated 2 small…
I woke up this morning feeling below average. A bit of a headache, a bit of a sore throat, overall not amazing. With no real plan to do anything to make myself feel better or stop myself from getting properly sick, I went about my morning... Until Hayden texted asking if I needed anything from…
I’m not vegan, but I have a bit of a strange obsession with vegan desserts. My theory is that it has something to do with the texture of cold coconut oil, but who really knows. When I was approached by Califia Farms to create a recipe using their Mocha Noir Cold Brew Coffee, I was…
There really are few things in life better than a good taco. And I mean that. My perfect taco is without a doubt, al pastor. I stole this recipe from my dad...because he knows how to make them perfectly. To quote our housemate "they're the best tacos I've ever had". Serves 4-5 people, 1.5kg pork,…
This is basically a key lime pie but instead of using strictly limes I use whatever random citrus I have laying around the house. This time I had a quarter grapefruit, 1 lemon and 3 limes. That's probably the best part about this recipe because almost everyone has a few lemons or limes sitting around.…

Lasagna is not easy to get right. I don't know why people always offer to make it for school events, potlucks, birthdays, funerals... Growing up it seemed like something that would be easy to make because everyone was making it all the time. Let me assure you, it is not. I have made about a…
So a week or so ago I asked my lovely/readers/followers/fans (okay I won't push it...I take back the fans) what they wanted to see more of on my blog. The general consensus was that you would like more healthy, easy, mains and chocolate, duh. So I spent a good chunk of time yesterday (while half…
Valentines day is a thing in America, not so much in Australia... That being said, I think it's safe to say that cake is a thing in every country. And it's definitely a thing when you have a heart shaped bunt cake pan from Williams-Sonoma. Makes 1 12x8 pan- to make for a bunt pan, simply…
