vegan green mango salad recipe

Everywhere I look everyone’s getting into the Christmas spirit, the trees are up, tinsel is scattered throughout every building, there’s spiced cookies here, eggnog and Christmas cake there, Santa sitting waiting for photos to be taken in the malls and super excited kids everywhere I turn. I’ve never been crazy big into the whole palaver that goes with Christmas. I love spending […]
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.

vegan fried rice with sugar-snap peas + chilli recipe

It feels like forever since I’ve been here. Really it’s only been a week or so, but life has been so busy these school holidays that to be honest I’ve not had even one second to pull a recipe together to share, until today. It’s been an eventful few weeks with trips to the beach, […]
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 […]
