Recipe: Black Bean Tacos

Mexican food is a big favourite of mine and B’s, it’s so easy to whip up, full of flavour and you can use pretty much anything you have on hand. I had been sick and had pretty much no appetite for almost a week (the worst kind of sickness for someone like me!) so had a fridge full of veggies that needed using, so into the mix they all went! I’ve become a big fan of black beans recently as well, although sometimes it’s tricky to find cans of them, but worth the effort when you do locate them! I went cheese-less when making these, opting to go more heavy handed on the avocado instead, but obviously you can cheese them up if you so desire!

I picked the brightest coloured vegetables from my veggie delivery, and away I went!

Recipe: Cauliflower & Corn Soup

Melbourne has been teasing us recently with some days of beautiful sunshine, before descending straight back into winter with pouring rain and freezing temperatures. Even though I’m hanging out for Spring I am making the most of the weather by having winter warming meals like this cauliflower and corn soup. It’s full of flavour and is particularly delicious served with crusty bread sitting by an open fire. A heater works well too though!

Recipe: Zucchini & Corn Slice

I never used to like zucchini, I’d turn my nose up when mum served it, and would never think of ordering a zucchini-based dish. How times have changed! Now I use zucchini all the time, and whilst I wouldn’t ever just snack on it as is, I find it such a versatile and easy to use veggie that it is popping up in all kinds of dishes these days! Case in point – a zucchini and corn slice!
