a few of my favourite things {September 2013}
Our lemon tree is weird. Straight-up weird. Not only does it produce the strangest looking lemons ever (and I mean ever!), but it also grows giant ones which weigh in at just under 1kg each too! We picked these babies a few days ago and I’m still trying to think of what I should do […]
spiced millet pilaf with beetroot, feta + mint recipe
I love rice. Some would say there have even been times in my life when I’ve lived off the stuff. Rice porridge for breakfast, rice chia bread for lunch, followed by curry and rice for dinner… It’s played a huge part in our diet since changing over to gluten-free 5 years ago, it was my savior when […]
rhubarb, apple + ginger muffin recipe {gluten + dairy-free}
“A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.” ― Douglas Pagels I once had a pen-pal, she lived in Maine somewhere over in that big land a long way away from us. We used to write often and I always longed to meet her. But as […]
spicy rice noodle salad with pickled vegetables + sesame soy dressing {vegan + gluten-free}
If you’ve been around here for a while you will have noticed I love fresh herbs. I don’t do the “add 1 tablespoon” thing. I go the whole hog and use fresh herbs such as mint, basil and coriander (cilantro) with reckless abandon, throwing in huge handfuls of each into my salads and using them in […]
creamy pink smoothie {vegan}
There’s quite a few things that Si and I do differently. I don’t eat meat, he does. I like to eat healthily, he doesn’t always. He likes salty, I like sweet. I only eat 1-2 bits of fruit a day, he’s a fruit bat. I drink herb tea, he drinks coffee. I eat homemade gluten-free […]
a few of my favourite things {august 2013}
With Spring on our door-step I’m looking forward to the lightness the season brings. Our garden is rather sad at the moment, however our salad greens, herbs and strawberries are going berserk and wild nasturtiums are popping up along the roadside, which I find myself picking whenever I get the chance. As usual, here’s a bunch of […]
gluten-free lemon maple meringue pies
“What did you used to eat mum, you know… back in the day?” the boy asked recently. Back in the day? What does he mean by back in the day? Like the 100 years ago kinda back in the day his words were implying or the just when I was younger kinda back in the day? […]
