Gingerbread

Gingerbread

While I'm not one to start decking the halls until we at least make it to December 1st, I'm all up for testing Christmas recipes well in advance. Such is my dedication, I've been testing brandy for the pudding for months. Well, not brandy exactly, more like wine. Wine...

Honey Sesame Chicken Noodles

Honey Sesame Chicken Noodles

To say I like my vegetable Spiralizer would be an understatement. I LOVE my vegetable Spiralizer!! It's an amazing, inexpensive kitchen tool that's easy to use and, most importantly, easy to clean (unlike you Mr Juicer hiding in the back of the cupboard taking up...

Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs

It took me ages to decide what to name this dish…..just kidding! These bad boys contain tomatoes, basil and Balsamic vinegar, call me predictable but I think it was pretty obvious where we were going here.  These are a pretty stock standard mid-week meal at Casa...

Caramel Slice

Caramel Slice

Caramel slice is one of those treats from your childhood. So sickly sweet from the condensed milk and loaded with sugar. It was always part of any good birthday party spread. I wouldn't dream of eating that version nowadays, so I decided to try my hand at a much...

Lime Pie Squares

Lime Pie Squares

So over a herbal tea (wine) I had an intellectual meeting of minds (rambling pointless conversation) with a couple of deep thinkers (my wine-drinking baes) about politics (our favourite smells). Limes made the top 5 of things I like the smell of. Seriously how good...

Kladdkaka (Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)

Kladdkaka (Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)

You don't have to be called Sven or Ulrika to want to get this tastiness all up and around your mouth. It's everything you want in a dessert - chocolatey, dense and gooey. Those Swedes don't just do furniture and kitschy 70's pop bands, they know a thing or two about...

Mango Sauce

Mango Sauce

Oh hell no mayo! Back it up ketchup! None of that store bought crap around here. There's just no need when it takes literally minutes to knock together tasty sauces that have none of that added garbage in them. Take your taste buds on a tropical holiday with this easy...

Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons

Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons

I've got a lover-ly bunch of coconuts...well at least I used to until Crossfit stole them. But that's another story. I do like coconut though. And seeing as coconut is the main ingredient in macaroons, well I like those too. What?? You're buying them from the store?...

Dukkah

Dukkah

Do you even dukkah? If you don't you should start. This crumbly Egyptian spice mix is like fairy dust, you'll want to sprinkle that shizzle everywhere. Add to soups, salads, or dressings. Mix it through zoodles. Roast it on your veggies. Spice up your eggs or crust up...
