Recipe: Roast Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad

At the moment it seems to be a tie between soups and salads as to what I’m enjoying cooking the most. I love the seemingly endless variety with both of them, with the added bonus that I can whip up a big batch that will see me through most of the working week for lunches. This salad came about after wanting to roast some cauliflower and the combination of cumin-coated cauliflower with a tahini-lemon dressing seemed too good not to try! Luckily, it turned out as delicious as I hoped and proved to be a hearty salad to get me through the afternoon at work.

This roast pumpkin puree is a simple and delicious recipe that is really versatile. I like to make a batch to have on hand for quick meals, with the added bonus that it freezes well so you never have to be without it!  (more…)

Recipe: Banana Choc-Chip Quinoa Flake Biscuits

Woah, what a mouthful of a name for a biscuit! If you like I Spy Plum Pie on facebook (and if you don’t, maybe now is a good time to start?!) you might have seen these biscuits pop up last week, so I thought I should share the recipe! I bought some quinoa flakes for the first time a few weeks back and have been using them to make porridge in the morning as it’s just gotten too cold for my normal smoothies. I decided to try something different with the flakes and I had heard they make a good substitute for flour in biscuits and cakes, so took some inspiration from a bunch of recipes I came across and came up with these! They turned out pretty delicious too!

Recipe: Pumpkin, Chickpea Salad with a Lemon & Chilli Dressing

Even though winter has well and truly arrived in Melbourne I can’t seem to stop making up big batches of salad to take to work for my lunch. It’s possibly because the wait for the microwave is often rather long, but also just that I really do love salads! I love how they can be as simple or elaborate as you like, and the seemingly endless combination of dressings means that there’s no need to repeat flavours very often. It’s a nice way to also use winter vegetables other than just in roasts and soups, which is how they seem to be ending up for dinner! Anyway, enough rambling, on to today’s salad!

Recipe: Broccoli and Parmesan Soup

I’m a big fan of broccoli and would happily just eat a bowl of it steamed with some lemon juice and chilli, but this time I decided to try something a bit different and make a soup, as that’s all I seem to be eating! The addition of the parmesan adds a nice bite and the potato helps to make it creamier and denser. A big bowl of this served with some crusty bread made me a very happy camper!
