Quick Ramen
This quick ramen is my ultimate go-to lunch. I love it! I stared making it about eighteen months ago and since then there would rarely be a week when I don’t make a bowl! I regularly find myself looking for something other than a sandwich for lunch when I’m home. I want vegetables, something green […]
Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup is another dish that brings back many memories of growing up for me. It was one of a handful of soups that we ate on a regular basis through winter each year and was probably my favourite. It could often be found simmering away on the fireplace, ready to eat for dinner or […]
Build-Your-Own Chicken Salad
Sometimes you need a quick and simple dinner. Healthy too, if possible. And something that caters to all the fussiness the kids might be throwing your way that day. This build-your-own chicken salad is the answer you have been looking for. It really is the ultimate in throw together simplicity. I love that there are […]
Roast Cauliflower & Fennel Soup
I can always tell when the weather is cooling down as I start making soups almost weekly. Barbeques and salads make way for bowls of hearty soup and I love experimenting with new flavour combinations. This week I was inspired by some cauliflower and fennel in the fridge.

The smell of a ham hock bubbling away to make a soup stock evokes so many childhood memories for me. Growing up it was the smell of wintertime with hearty soups being a regular dinner in our house. Mum would pop all the stock ingredients into a pot then place it on the wood fire […]
Barramundi with Ginger Broth and Green Veg
I can tell that the weather has cooled lately just by the food I have been cooking and dreaming about. Gone are the salads and stir frys of warmer weather and in have come soups, stews and warming comfort food. There’s nothing better than tucking into a bowl of tasty goodness that warms from the […]
Broccolini Soup
I was out tidying the vegetable garden yesterday after neglecting it for a week. There was an armful of tomatoes, a few zucchini and more broccolini than I could’ve imagined! The broccolini was ready to flower so needed to be picked and used. Given the cooler weather at the moment, a Broccolini Soup seemed the […]
Salmon & Ginger Ramen
I’ve always been a fan of an Asian inspired noodle soup. I’m not that fussy – I love them all! There is something quite delightful about sitting down to a big bowl of soup filled with noodles, veggies and a protein of some sort. On a trip to Japan last year I discovered the joys […]
Healthy Taco Bowl
I’ve been on a bit of a heath kick these past few week so have found myself eating clean – think lots of veggies, salad and lean meats. To keep my food interesting I have been playing around with some old favourites to see how I could enjoy comfortable flavours but still have a super […]
