Recipe: Pumpkin and Chickpea Burgers

During the recent AFL finals series I found myself home on a Friday or Saturday night each weekend cheering on my beloved Sydney Swans until they unfortunately bowed out for the year. I’m a mad football fan but B is somewhat less enthused so I decided I would make up for yet another Saturday night in by whipping up some hearty homemade pumpkin and chickpea burgers, served with thick-cut chips to help ease his pain (and ultimately mine too, as the Swans lost that night, boo). They turned out really delicious and it was probably lucky we ate them before a night on the couch as we were so full that we couldn’t move far anyway! Now to get ready for the cricket season to commence!

Recipe: Pumpkin & Chilli Israeli Couscous

I went through a phase a while ago when I was using Israeli (or pearl as it’s also known) couscous all the time, then all of a sudden I just stopped buying it for no particular reason. Over the last few weeks I have seen a lot of recipes pop up on blogs I follow, so decided it was about time I restocked the cupboard and reignited my love for Israeli couscous. If you haven’t used it before it’s a much larger grain than standard couscous and puffs up in size when cooked, but it’s just as quick and easy to prepare as standard couscous. I just find it tastier!

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: Pumpkin Soup

If you follow I Spy Plum Pie on facebook you would have seen I got a new toy recently (and if you don’t, maybe now is a good time to start?!). As an early birthday present my parents bought me a food processor and I LOVE it! It does everything I could possibly need including juicing, blending, mixing and chopping. Given the weather took a turn in Melbourne on Saturday we decided to try it out by making pumpkin soup, and it was a delicious success.
