As a society we are getting busier and busier, whether you are a student running from class to your job, or working full time and trying to get home to your family or running around after little ones at home, we more often than not find ourselves in a position where we think it would […]
Roast Carrot Soup
I have had quite a few requests for soup recipes recently, and given that the first snow of the winter fell this weekend – I think that is completely fitting! I am not sure if there is anything much better than indulging in a big bowl of warming soup with a hunk of crusty bread […]
Thai Pumpkin Soup
The air is definitely feeling a little cooler now that we are well and truly into autumn, and whilst I do love summer, the autumn colours really are beautiful and the crispness in the air is a welcome relief after the humidity that we sometimes get here in Auckland. One of my favourite things to […]
Carrot Cake Oats
If you love cake, and would love to be able to eat cake for breakfast (or indeed any time of the day) then this recipe is definitely for you! I have a sweet tooth – it’s true, and I know controlling that sweet tooth can sometimes be hard, but it doesn’t have to be when […]
Loaded ‘Nachos’
If you’re anything like me, then you are always on the look out for recipes that are healthy, satisfying and most importantly, delicious! If they are easy to prepare and won’t cost you an arm and a leg, then that is always a bonus as well, right?! I think I have cracked it with this […]

The #Junkfreejune Soup Series – Week #2 and some unexpected learning points
So we are well and truly into the middle of #Junkfreejune – how is everybody going? It has made me realise that I actually don’t buy a lot of junk. Not at the supermarket during the weekly shop, at least. It has made me realise that I am more likely to buy ‘treats’ when I […]
The #JunkFreeJune Soup Series – Week #1
So winter is definitely here, of which I am not a massive fan, but I have decided to embrace it, and in doing so I am going to experiment with some new recipes. I have that many recipe books, but do you think I use them?? Most of the time I make the same old […]
Top tips to enjoy weekend brunch without undoing a week’s worth of mindful choices
It’s the weekend! Time to relax, catch up on sleep, catch up with people and socialise. Inevitably food will be involved. Eating brunch out is something that my partner and I look forward to most weekends. And as I have said in multiple posts – I love breakfast – there are so many options. So […]
