Welcome to the second instalment of my Foodie Files series! If you missed instalment one, I chatted to the delightful Spoonful of Sarah and now I’m here chatting to the lovely Tara from VegeTARAian! Tara is a fellow vegetarian (hence her excellent blog name!) who resides in Sydney, and whilst we’re yet to meet in person I have no doubt that when that time comes we will get on like we’ve known each other for years!
Over the colder months my work-day breakfast has become pretty standard – 2 eggs on sourdough, with some spinach or, since they’ve been back in season, avocado. It’s simple, healthy, delicious and keeps me full until lunchtime (and I make sure to choose ethical eggs of course!). As a result I’ve found myself with lots of egg shells on hand, so today I wanted to share my top 7 uses for egg shells with you all, and I’d love to hear your tips as well!
When we first arrived in Australia we knew quite literally no-one in Melbourne but thankfully a few months later my sister started kindergarten and mum became fast friends with some of the other kinder mums. Some 26 years later these people have become more like family than friends to us, and last weekend we farewelled the childhood home of one of them with an afternoon tea, to which I took along this passionfruit cheesecake slice.
So October turned out to be a month of learning for me here at ISPP HQ, jam packed full of workshops and events. It’s hard to believe we’re at the end of another month, but we are, so here are my October favourite finds! I’d love to hear your favourite events and finds of the month as well!
Drinking coffee is most definitely one of my favourite daily activities and living in Melbourne means there is no shortage of excellent cafes to treat myself to a takeaway coffee from. Unfortunately if you’re not careful all this coffee drinking can result in some not so pleasant side-effects for the planet, so today I wanted to talk about the problem with takeaway coffee cups and what to use instead! Instead of buying takeaway coffee, consider buying a coffee maker instead as there are a wide range of affordable and wonderful coffee machines now available.
