MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Raspberry + Coconut Dark Chocolate Cups

So, we’ve been home 3 weeks today. I’ve written this blog post over and over in my mind since the very moment we stepped foot off that plane. But now that I’m finally sitting down to write, I don’t really know where to begin. So many people have asked us why we moved back to […]

Gluten-free Holiday Cookie recipes

Chocolate-filled baby hazelnut cookies (gluten + dairy-free) Try as I might, pulling together a new recipe for a post this past month was just not ever going to happen. Between final book edits, dance rehearsals, end of year school trips and packing up our ENTIRE LIFE to ship home to NZ (in just over two […]

Indonesian-inspired choko curry + photos from Bali!

The first time I travelled to Bali as a 10 year old, I can’t say I really took in the food at all.

Orange + rosemary popsicles

Everyday I looked at them and briefly thought about following through on their requests, […]

Baby beetroot, quinoa + cumquat salad {gluten-free}

My sister and her two kids are visiting from New Zealand for the holidays. It’s a trip that’s been many months, possibly years in the planning. Actually, this year has been one big ol’ family visit, starting off with my mum and little sister in May, then my youngest brother stopped by for a few […]
