The other weekend I came across some rather ripe kiwifruit hiding out in the bottom of my fruit bowl and realised drastic action was needed to ensure they didn’t go to waste. I thought about making a cheesecake or pavlova to use them all on, but given I wasn’t planning on doing any entertaining that weekend (and definitely didn’t need to eat a whole cheesecake myself!) I thought that probably wasn’t the best idea. So, I decided I would use them as the basis of my smoothies for the next few days and see what flavour combos I could come up with!
Recipe: Peanut Butter Cheesecake
I first participated in the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop back in August when the delightful Sophie hosted a cookie theme (to which I took my white chocolate & macadamia cookies). For some reason I didn’t get around to taking part in the next two SABH, but when I saw that this month’s theme (hosted by Nic from Nic cooks) was cheese, I knew I had no choice but to participate!

Recipe: Caramelised Peanuts & Sweet Peanut Sauce
The November edition of the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop goes live on Monday, and whilst I don’t want to give too much away about my recipe for the blog hop, I thought today I would share the recipes for two elements that will feature come Monday – caramelised peanuts and a sweet peanut sauce!
Recipe: Ginger & Orange Quinoa Greens
This bright green dish is amazingly simple but packs a flavour punch thanks to the ginger & orange dressing. The tangy orange works so well with the grated ginger, with a tiny bit of sweetness from the honey – perfect! This recipe makes quite a bit of dressing, but the quinoa just drinks it up so I really like it, but use less if you prefer!
Recipe: Mushroom & Spinach Macaroni and Cheese
Mushrooms appear in my veggie box with somewhat regularity and I always find ways to use them by adding them to pasta sauces, throwing them in stir-fries or curries or cooking them up for breakfast (which is B’s favourite way to eat them!). I rarely make them the star of the dish though, so when I got a large bag full of little button mushrooms in my last veggie box delivery I decided it was time to change all that, and went hunting for a mushroom focused recipe to try out!
