spiced apricot, orange + quinoa muesli bar recipe {gluten + dairy-free} + giveaway winners!

It has only just recently occurred to me that I’ve not ever shared a muesli bar recipe on here!? This kinda shocked me as hardly a week goes by when I don’t whip up some for the kids lunch boxes. The recipe always changes… Often I make these muesli-bar style cookies (using ground sunflower seeds in place of the almond meal), […]
chickpea, tomato + feta salad with pomegranate molasses dressing + a spice giveaway!

It’s been awhile since I’ve spoken about our garden hasn’t it? When we first started growing our own vegetables about 10 years ago everything was planned and precise. The tomatoes were lined up in perfect rows, cucumbers grew on trellis and each and every carrot had it’s place. Si and I are both perfectionists so I guess […]
a few teeny changes around here….

Just a quick little hello today to let you know some slightly exciting, slightly terrifying news today… After much, much thought (three and a half years to be exact) I have decided to open up ad space on my blog.

mulberry lemon yoghurt tart + a giveaway winner!

While exercise is definitely not something that’s new to me (me and a group of friends have been catching up to exercise in the park a couple of times a week for the […]
buckwheat pancakes with warm vanilla berries {gluten + dairy-free} + a cookbook giveaway!

I own a lot of cookbooks. If my husband Si was telling this story he would definitely be using expletives by now and would be going on about how my cookbooks are no longer contained to the one shelf above the T.V. He would be saying they now occupy premium space under the desk, beside […]
black bean + quinoa tacos with avocado, coriander + lime sauce {gluten-free + vegan}

When we were little, we didn’t do barbecues at home. I guess it was the thinking of the time, that only meat can be cooked on one of them. And being well, vegetarian, meant we didn’t even own one. When invited over to friends for barbecues my mum would buy one packet of vegetarian sausages […]
