homemade lemon + lime cordial recipe

Growing up, our water came straight from the sky and onto our tin roof, before draining into the dark green tank that sat perched amongst the jasmine flowers at the back of our house. There were no chemicals added, at all. We bathed in this beautiful rainwater, drank it and mum prepared our meals using […]
spiced pumpkin + millet porridge {gluten-free + vegan} + pics from America!

My recent trip to America opened my eyes more than I ever could have imagined. Here in Australia and back home in NZ we are surrounded by all things American from a very young age, much to my Dads disgust (he wouldn’t let us watch trashy US shows on telly when we were little!). I’ve […]

But soon turned into a full-on thing as he proceeded to ask me the age of every person we know. And I mean every. one. In a single day he must have asked me how […]
salt + vinegar kale chips recipe {revisited]

So, as some of you may know… I’m a virgo, and a Galloway (yes, that’s a double whammy). What this basically means is that I’m a perfectionist. A painfully anal perfectionist. There, said it. Understand that this is both a blessing and a curse. Right, now that that’s clear there are a few things that […]
