gluten & dairy-free chocolate persimmon loaf recipe
A friend kindly gave us two bags of persimmons the other day from her tree. We love persimmons in this house and are never ones to pass up free fruit, so were pretty excited to get them home and dig in. The kids could barely let me get in the door before they had started tearing […]
creamy lentil soup recipe + a cookbook review
I don’t know about you, but there are two things I always do when I first lay hands on a new cookbook. One, I read the introduction to get a feel for who the author is, where they are from and where they are going to take me. Two, I start reading from the back […]

buckwheat, apple and ginger muffin recipe {gluten-free, dairy-free}
We went down south to Yallingup for a wedding last weekend and it felt like going home.
