Making the Perfect Pizza at Home
Many years ago I stumbled across this Spring Cream Pizza recipe over at Lady & Pups. It surprised me that you could create such an exceptional looking pizza at home. This discovery lead me on a delicious adventure and I’m now the proud owner of Joe Beddia’s “Pizza Camp” book. This book contains more information about the background of this recipe and method and is well worth a read if you’re interested. Making Pizza at home can seem intimidating when you’re at the beginning of your bread making adventures. Even though the recipe itself is simple, different types of yeast or flour can yield different finished products. As with all…

Mum’s Quick Chicken Curry Pasta
Chicken Curry Pasta was one of my favourite comfort meals as a child. Creamy, lightly spiced sauce over chicken pieces with peas, carrot, corn and pasta. Easy to eat by the spoonful and made for excellent leftovers. I brought it out recently in a burst of nostalgia for my weekly meal prep and realised just how convenient and macro friendly this recipe is.

Oat Slice Cookies
Roughly 12 months ago we received a free sample of Oat Slice Cookies with our weekly grocery shop.

The more I thought about it, the more it annoyed me. Of course there is always a cost for convenience, but these were simple oat cookies. I want to encourage you to give these ago, not just to cut a few dollars off your grocery bill, but also to enjoy the process, eat a more delicious cookie and waste a bit less…

Frankies in Blankies
Silly, delicious, fun – these Frankies in Blankies are the perfect party food or light lunch. Especially on days where you feel like having a little fun with your food. These aren’t going to win any nutritional awards, but for what it’s worth there is a decent amount of protein and the bread is lovingly made from simple ingredients. There’s no super food ingredients except for a generous sprinkling of love. Some days that’s enough, but you are welcome to add in a side salad if you’re really trying to keep up with your reccomended veg intake. Cocktail Franks (frankies) are known as ‘Cheerios’ in Australia which is confusing for…
