Guess what! Today is my third blogiversary! Yep, on this day three years ago I hit publish on my very first post, and what a ride it has been. I’ve definitely come a loooong way with my photography (and I still have a lot further to go!), that’s for sure! Each year on my blogiversary I like to share a recipe featuring plums and this year I’m right in celebration mode with a plum basil cocktail!
The recipe for these garlic asian greens is probably the simplest I have ever shared here on I Spy Plum Pie, but they are mighty delicious. I whip them up all the time as a side dish to go with rice and something like grilled tofu, steamed dumplings or the recipe I shared last week, miso eggplant. They take no time at all to whip up and are a tasty way to up your leafy green vegetable uptake.
It’s time for another balcony garden update! January is probably one of my favourite months for gardening, there are so many things to grow at this time of year that seem to flourish in small spaces. That doesn’t mean it’s been all a roaring success, but that’s part of the fun!
Miso eggplant is one of my go-to dishes to order when I’m at a Japanese restaurant, but it’s also super quick and easy to whip up at home too! It can be ready in just over half an hour and makes a delicious, vegan friendly dinner option served with rice and greens. Miso eggplant is a regular feature on my table, that’s for sure!
It’s been quite some time since I’ve shared a restaurant review here on I Spy Plum Pie, but I’m rectifying that today! While my sister, Pip, stayed with me we decided to hit up a local cafe for brunch and settled on Archie’s All Day, up on Gertrude Street in Fitzroy. I’d been up for a drink not long after it opened but was yet to sample the menu, so I was keen try it out. It’s always busy on the weekends, so my expectations were set pretty high!
