MY DARLING LEMON THYME

chickpea and leek soup recipe

I’m feeling way better than I did a few days ago. I’ve been drinking loads of my lemon rosemary tea and clearing my sinuses with this, but Si’s still been complaining that I’m keeping him awake with my constant dry cough all night long. I’ve been so tired it hasn’t even been waking me up, but […]

jerk tempeh with coriander (cilantro) sauce recipe

It’s all too easy in this day and age to focus on the bad, sad and ugly reality of life that faces so many around the world.

kale and pumpkin seed pesto recipe {vegan}

Our kale plants are still just little baby seedlings, but thankfully there’s a weekend market not far from here where I can pick up beautiful bunches of organic kale for only a few dollars. Kye is a little obsessed with the stuff and as I’m washing it he will often sneak up behind me and […]
