Healthy Beef Chow Mein
Who knew there was such a thing as a Healthy Beef Chow Mein? I certainly didn’t! I think of loads of slippery noodles in a rich and slightly sweet sauce. Something a little bit naughty. But when I was asked to come up with a lighter version, I saw it as a bit of a […]
Thai Beef Salad
I think this Thai Beef Salad might just be my new favourite salad! I was in the mood for something light and healthy, quick and easy to make and packed full of flavour. The weather was warm and a salad of sorts was really all I felt like eating. It had been a while since […]
Barramundi with Broccolini Rice and a Ginger Broth
I’m going through a bit of a fresh ginger phase at the moment. Although looking back through my recipes here it’s a recurring theme so maybe it’s not a new phase! It’s going in so many things I’m cooking and I’m really enjoying using it as a prominent flavour. I love the heat and character […]
Avocado Pesto Zoodles with Chicken
I love pesto. It’s such a delicious way to really amp up some flavour in a dish. You can go the traditional route and have pesto on pasta but I also love using it as a sauce or dressing. And I love experimenting with different flavour and texture combinations with my pesto depending on my […]
Pork Fillets with Mustard Sauce
This Pork Fillets with Mustard Sauce recipe is an old school family favourite. I can remember eating it just about my whole life and it is still a firm favourite. And not just with me, I know all my sisters still enjoy this dish! I believe it originated from a French neighbour of my parents […]
Lamb and Rice Stuffed Vegetables
My memories of stuffed vegetables go right back to my childhood. I remember helping my mum to cook stuffed tomatoes filled with rice, herbs and lots of cheese. They were so delicious and always a favourite. And to this day I find it hard to go past a good stuffed vegetable, especially when filled with […]
Asian Chicken and Wombok Slaw
Who doesn’t enjoy a good slaw? It’s one of those salad types that has appeal to just about everyone in some form. For me, I’m not much of a fan of the typical creamy coleslaw – I find them just a bit too heavy and often a bit too sweet. But I love just about […]
Roast Pumpkin and Spinach Salad
Spring has well and truly sprung here in Brisbane. And the warmer weather has already influenced my cooking and food cravings. The slow cooker is packed away, with hearty soups and stews a distant memory for now. Instead the focus has changed and it’s been lighter meals and plenty of salads as we make the […]
Lamb Shank Pies
Lamb shanks are such a quintessential flavour of winter in our house. It’s the only time of year that I cook them and we will have them several times over the colder months. And I always cook extra so that I can pop the leftovers into the freezer for another meal. I’ll use it in […]
Tacos Family Style
Taco night in our house is everyone’s favourite. We all love it! And it really is the prefect family meal. I serve my tacos family style so everyone can pick what they want on their creations and it’s a winner. It’s also a great meal to get the kids involved in preparing dinner. They can […]
