Sometimes when I find myself with a range of vegetables that need using up I whip up a breakfast burrito for a quick and satisfying meal. The best part is you don’t even have to restrict them to just breakfast, they are equally delicious for a super fast mid-week dinner, or any time the desire hits!
When I visited my parents over Christmas I was greeted by peach and plum trees laden with fruit, with my mum in a daily battle with the birds to ensure we got at least some of the ripest fruit before they helped themselves to it! Mum had been madly stewing them and baking muffins but we couldn’t use them fast enough, so I thought I’d try something different with a few of the peaches and turned them into a syrup! (more…)
I received some beetroots in my veggie box recently and decided to use them for something a little different to what I normally do. Often I just add them to a juice or make a salad, but this time I thought I would grate them up and make a relish! The relish goes really well on burgers, as part of a cheese platter or even just on some bread as a snack – all perfect for this time of year! It’s super simple to make as well, just as long as you don’t mind getting pink beetroot juice everywhere first!
Melbourne has embraced December as only Melbourne can – with a mixture of super warm days and then some well, not so summery days. I took advantage of one of the cooler days to turn on the oven and whip up this salad, which I then proceeded to eat for dinner for the next few warm days when cooking something warm was the furthest from what I wanted to be doing!
I wanted to make some thankyou cookies for a colleague who had been helping me out on a major project I have been working on over the last few months, and as we’re hurtling towards Christmas I thought it was only appropriate that I made him some spicy, delicious, ginger flavoured treats. Instead of traditional ginger biscuits which tend to be flat and crunchy like a gingernut biscuit, these are soft and doughy but still full of that delicious ginger flavour!
