MY DARLING LEMON THYME

gluten-free cardamom, black pepper + dark chocolate cookies

This time of the year doesn’t feel the same to me without the smell of a Christmas tree wafting through the house. Growing up surrounded by pine forests we always had a ‘real’ Christmas tree. Sometimes it was just a branch, lopped off by my Dad and dragged up the steep hill to the house. […]

Spiced lentil bowls with turmeric seeds

Ada’s been home from school the last week and a half with a yet-to-be-explained pain in her ankle, the same ankle she broke last year. It’s been a rough few days to say the least and I’m crossing every finger and toe it’s nothing long-term. Most days she’s not felt like eating much, but the […]
