homemade lemon thyme extract recipe
I usually only post a recipe on here if I know 100% that it works. But today is the day I’m gonna break my own rules and share a little experiment with you all. See I figure if I wait the 2-3 months until this baby is ready and then post the recipe, you’ll all […]
spiced apricot, orange + quinoa muesli bar recipe {gluten + dairy-free} + giveaway winners!
It has only just recently occurred to me that I’ve not ever shared a muesli bar recipe on here!? This kinda shocked me as hardly a week goes by when I don’t whip up some for the kids lunch boxes. The recipe always changes… Often I make these muesli-bar style cookies (using ground sunflower seeds in place of the almond meal), […]
chickpea, tomato + feta salad with pomegranate molasses dressing + a spice giveaway!
It’s been awhile since I’ve spoken about our garden hasn’t it? When we first started growing our own vegetables about 10 years ago everything was planned and precise.

black bean + quinoa tacos with avocado, coriander + lime sauce {gluten-free + vegan}
When we were little, we didn’t do barbecues at home. I guess it was the thinking of the time, that only meat can be cooked on one of them. And being well, vegetarian, meant we didn’t even own one. When invited over to friends for barbecues my mum would buy one packet of vegetarian sausages […]
kohlrabi, beetroot + apple salad with parsley + lime
Mum and Dad used to grow all sorts of fruits and vegetables when we were little. There were rows of strawberries covered in black netting to keep the birds out, rows of corn that we kids would play hide and seek in, mounds of potatoes, which if I remember rightly is where I put the […]
