MY DARLING LEMON THYME

black bean veggie enchiladas à la Love and Lemons

Hi all! We only have a few days left here in NZ, so as we start to pack up our bags and have last minute catch ups with friends and family the lovely Jeanine from Love & Lemons has stopped by with a beautiful recipe today. Jeanines fresh healthy recipes paired with Jacks signature-style light-filled photographs […]

honey + thyme figs w/ yoghurt + almonds

I thought I’d stop by quickly today to say hi and to share a lovely little fig dish I made while staying over at my mums house on the east coast. I’ve been missing this space more than I ever thought I would, could or should do and didn’t realise how much my rambling on […]

a few of my favourite things {january 2013}

There’s less than one week left of the summer holidays. Less than one week until my baby girl moves up to year 1 and the little man begins his first official year of pre-primary (the equivalent of new entrants in NZ). Gulp, it’s 5 days a week and he’s to wear a uniform. Far out where did all those […]
