MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Gluten + Dairy-free Peach + Passionfruit Muffins

So somehow I’ve blinked and it’s the second day of Autumn? Instead of the slower pace the season usually brings, instead it’s feeling kinda like spring to me, in that I’ve got so many things on the go, lots of new beginnings and exciting things to share. After recovering from a flu that knocked our […]

Gluten-free Blueberry, Lemon + Coconut Cake

Growing up, there was a overgrown blueberry farm that mum would take us to nestled just on the outskirts of town. It wasn’t open to the public from memory, well not anymore at least. But somehow my mum had heard about this woman’s property, so we’d find ourselves there come summertime, ice cream containers at […]

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 […]

Spring quinoa bowl w/ quick-pickled vegetables, hummus + herbed yoghurt

Returning from a trip overseas is always a little bit crap, lets be honest. Reality comes banging on the door, trying it’s best to rouse us from our chilled-out holiday slumber. I usually try my best to ignore it, even if only for a few more days. But this time around, coming home from Bali […]

Orange + rosemary popsicles

My niece and nephew mentioned more than once how nice it would be to use up some of the oranges we had laying around to make ice blocks (the NZ term for popsicle/icy-pole) when they were visiting these past few weeks. Everyday I looked at them and briefly thought about following through on their requests, […]
