I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for about a week now (seriously where does the time go?!) but I was having problems with the software I use for my photos so I had to wait until that was all sorted. Luckily it looks like it’s been fixed now, which means I get to share this with you… YAAAYYYY!!!

Before I tell you about this recipe though I wanted to share something really cute that Joe said to me last night (and sorry if you’re reading this love but I just HAD to share!). So last night we were supposed to go down to the supermarket to pick up a few things and Joe needed some shaving cream, but I wasn’t feeling the best and just wanted to eat and relax after dinner so I suggested for him to use some of my coconut oil to shave. He isn’t a fan of the smell of coconut oil but I convinced him to give it a go. Well turns out he liked it and was happy with how it worked and the cute part… after he was done he came to me and said something along the lines of “there’s so many strange looking ingredients in my regular shaving cream.” Seriously I thought that was so cute and so observant of him :). This morning I asked him if he wanted me to go get him some shaving cream today and he said no I’m happy to use the coconut oil. GO JOE!!! [Read more…]

The other day I got to thinking about how this whole love of cooking and creating dishes came about for me. These days I love to be in the kitchen making food from scratch that I know is not only going to be tasty and delicious but also healthy and nutritious… see what I did there 😉

But it wasn’t always like this for me. In fact I hardly ever spent time in the kitchen growing up, I can remember plenty of times when my mum would ask my older sister or I to come help her in the kitchen and we would always make some sort of excuse not to go in there, we even struggled with making the salad each night because neither of us wanted to stand around chopping up a cucumber or shredding lettuce!

At that time I didn’t really care about what was going in my mouth and where it was coming from. Sure we ate most of our meals at home, cooked by my mum but there was also the trips to the fast food joints and ordering lunch or buying snacks at the canteen or vending machines from school (makes me SHUDDER at the thought!)

University was much the same, most of my meals there came from one of the Cafes on campus or from the shopping centre (mall) close by that we would drive to for lunch or just because we wanted to hang out. [Read more…]
