Yaaaayyy for Fridays! I hope your week has gone well! I’ve been busy planning and creating new content for the blog. If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen me mention something about a newsletter, or maybe you didn’t because I never know who of you, if any Facebook shows my posts to! Anyway, the newsletter is one of the things I’m in the process of creating, this will be sent out on a weekly basis (haven’t decided what day yet) and will cover my posts for the week plus some extra bits and pieces. I can’t wait to have it all ready to share with you! [Read more…]

Parsnip Fries – Two-Ways

Parsnip Fries

I made this recipe when we were still in England and the weather was starting to get quite cold! Root vegetables being in season back there, I decided to make these parsnip fries one day! Parsnips are one of those vegetables which I feel are quiet underused… or maybe that’s just me?

In any case this root vegetable is quite tasty and can be served up in so many ways. For e.g. check out what my friend Alisa created with her parsnips recently (YUM!). I decided to go for fries/chips (I use these two terms interchangeably) and wanted to share two different versions of these.

So here we go… [Read more…]

Pumpkin Spiced Iced Chai Latte

Hello from Melbourne! I’ve been home for about a week now and over the jet lag I had going for the first couple of days! The flight over was looooooong as you can imagine and Joe and I pretty much didn’t sleep at all (seriously I don’t understand how some people can sleep for the entire flight!). So yeh the first couple of days I was feeling a bit loopy and just in a daze but as I said that’s passed!

We were greeted with warm weather when we arrived, in fact one day it reached 36C/96F but true to Melbourne weather the last few days it we had showers and cold weather! It went down to 8C/46F!!! I had forgotten how unpredictable Melbourne weather can be… luckily I packed a couple of warm things. Today the weather is better and hopefully we will be getting more of that summer sun that I desperately need, because I’m going to need it before I get back to England! [Read more…]

Chestnut & Sweet Potato ‘Pasta’

The time is officially here! Tomorrow is the day we finally fly out on our way back home to Oz! Even as I sit here typing this, and even though suitcases are packed and last minute stuff is being done before we leave it still doesn’t seem real… I don’t think it will seem real until we get off the plane in Melbourne and see our families, and even then it will probably take time to properly digest the fact that we’re there.

So you may have realised that I’m actually getting in a bit early with sharing this recipe, if you follow my page on Facebook and actually get to see my posts there, because we all know how much Facebook likes to share posts on pages with everyone (insert sarcastic emoji here!), you may have seen that I said due to leaving for holidays I will only be posting 2x week from now on, and doing a Monday + Friday thing. Well life happens, and I haven’t had a chance to develop as many recipes as I’d like to over this time so… I’m most likely just going to be sharing one post a week (sometimes two) while I’m away and getting back to normal scheduling when I get back. So apologies for that, but I guess that’s how life goes sometimes 🙂 [Read more…]
