Chestnut & Sweet Potato ‘Pasta’

Bowl of chestnut and 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…]

Meatballs with Zucchini & Carrot ‘Pasta’

I’m just going to put this out there but sometimes blogging can be a pain in the arse! And yes in Australia we say arse and not ass 😉 Apologies if that came across too harsh but seriously some days I just can’t be arsed to sit down and post on here!

Take yesterday for example, I had planned on putting this recipe up yesterday but here’s what happened. First off it was a SUNNY day! Which as you may have realised from my weather rants on here this is rare for England. So of course I had to take advantage of this beautiful day, plus Joe had taken the day off work (well he took Monday off too to take me to the teaching agency… more on the below). So instead of sitting at home with me typing away on the computer we decided to head out for a day time walk and ended up running around like kids on the grass in the middle of the park. And you know what it was fun! And I didn’t feel bad about not having put up my blog post, even though on my FB page I said I would.

Yes I love writing here and posting recipes but it’s not my life. If I get the chance to be outside, enjoy the sun and enjoy the company of my husband well then that trumps everything else! I’m pretty sure… or at least I hope that other bloggers feel the same way! [Read more…]
