Sometimes when I find myself with a range of vegetables that need using up I whip up a breakfast burrito for a quick and satisfying meal. The best part is you don’t even have to restrict them to just breakfast, they are equally delicious for a super fast mid-week dinner, or any time the desire hits!
After spending our cold, rainy winter being inundated with delicious looking icy-poles (or popsicles!) on all the northern hemisphere blogs I read I decided that once the weather warmed up here I needed to play with some varieties of my own! So I found myself some moulds and then pondered over what flavoured icy poles to concoct. I had a bag of apricots waiting to be eaten so I decided to combine them with some yoghurt for an almost healthy frozen treat! (more…)
For as long as I can remember, whenever I would order a freshly squeezed juice at a cafe it was always a combination of apple, pineapple and orange juice. As I got older I’d sometimes add ginger, maybe a carrot, but those three key ingredients never changed. I still standby it as a great flavour combination, but over time I have expanded my horizons somewhat, and now my freshly squeezed juices are more guided by whatever fruit and veggies I have on hand (which unfortunately rarely includes pineapple!) as opposed to habit!
When I visited my parents over Christmas I was greeted by peach and plum trees laden with fruit, with my mum in a daily battle with the birds to ensure we got at least some of the ripest fruit before they helped themselves to it! Mum had been madly stewing them and baking muffins but we couldn’t use them fast enough, so I thought I’d try something different with a few of the peaches and turned them into a syrup! (more…)
I received some beetroots in my veggie box recently and decided to use them for something a little different to what I normally do. Often I just add them to a juice or make a salad, but this time I thought I would grate them up and make a relish! The relish goes really well on burgers, as part of a cheese platter or even just on some bread as a snack – all perfect for this time of year! It’s super simple to make as well, just as long as you don’t mind getting pink beetroot juice everywhere first!
