One of the best meals we had during my recent week in Port Douglas was at Thala Beach, a nature resort with the most incredible views and absolutely delicious food. We were very lucky to get a chance to eat there as it was closed to people not staying at the resort until our very last day, but I’m so glad we persisted and got ourselves a table!
Mexican is one of my favourite cuisines and these mushroom, zucchini & black bean quesadillas are a prime example of why! They are so quick and easy to make, super delicious and fairly healthy too! Yum!
Buddha bowls are something I tend to associate more with summer meals, full of fresh salad items, but I’ve discovered they are equally perfect for these colder months and this winter tofu buddha bowl is testament to that! With a combination of crunchy tofu, roasted veggies and a zesty dressing you’ll be left feeling both warmed and healthy!
As part of our day in Christchurch we headed to Mama Hooch for a lunchtime feed and we were most definitely not disappointed! It’s open from breakfast to late most days of the week and was the sort of place I would have liked to come back to later for a few drinks as well.
Soup season is definitely upon us! This minted pea and potato soup can be on the table in under half an hour, making it a perfect mid week dinner option served with some crusty bread, or a delicious weekend lunch. The potatoes make it super creamy without even needing to add any actual cream, making it kinder on our winter waistlines too!
