This would have to be the most satisfying dish that I’ve cooked in a very long time. If you’re a stranger to using tofu – I strongly urge you to give this stir fry a go. I can’t get enough of it, it’s so tasty. Quick, easy and light, the firm tofu in the sticky, […]
The thing I love about cooking is that you can cook things depending on your mood. One day you’ll lose yourself in making a trendy Vegan chickpea stew (thanks to Soph for the inspo) and the next – you’ll feel like throwing everything in a pot and chucking it in the oven. Tonight’s mood calls […]
Lo Corcoran talks all things Christmas ham, New Year’s resolutions, seafood paella and the beloved game of cricket. How good is Christmas ham. Cork Daddy’s favourite food, I have to admit I’m a bit fussy when it comes to the carving. I love it really finely shaved – please no ham steaks for me! Frequenting many a […]
Sweet and sour pork, honey chicken, beef with black bean, Mongolian lamb; don’t forget the spring rolls and our all time favourite – fried rice of course! Does any of this ring a bell? Growing up – going to our local Chinese restaurant was something we always looked forward to; just as exciting as seeing […]
Thai green chicken curry is one of my all time favourite meals – I make it a lot. I’ve adapted this recipe for the slow cooker. Simple, tasty and comforting, you’d be hard pressed to find a more satisfying meal for a busy weeknight or a lazy weekend at home. Similar to my Thai red […]
One of the things I love most about our annual family holiday to Mollymook is the fresh seafood at our fingertips. The days are spent at the beach with most evenings being happily spent in the kitchen. We feast on prawns and oysters down at Ulladulla wharf, eat lots of fresh fish (my favourite being […]
Wagga has seen scorching temperatures of above 40℃ over the past week. And I’m forever grateful that we’ve escaped the heat – spending the school holidays at Mum and Dad’s beach house in Culburra (on the NSW south coast). Our days have been spent swimming, building sandcastles, eating ice cream, drinking coffee (before beer o’clock […]
Tired of making the same old things night after night? In a bit of a dinner rut? Then this quick and easy stir fry is for you. Cooked in the same amount of time it takes to steam the rice, if your family is anything like mine – there’ll be none left over. As always, spice […]
Do you ever buy pork mince? If the answer is NO, then you should definitely start. Lean, affordable and quick to cook, throw some in your trolley today and whip up this simple stir fry with hoisin sauce. Inspired by a trip I did to South East Asia years ago, I couldn’t get enough of […]
Mince. Every home cooks best friend. Easy, affordable, oh so versatile and talk about tasty. A flavour carrier that is perfect for making quick and easy midweek meals, it’s always a staple in my trolley. Beef, pork, chicken or sausage mince. There’s a recipe below for every occasion and to suit everyones taste buds and […]
This recipe for San choy bow marks the 14th mince recipe on the blog. And I have to admit, I think this is the pick of them. The ultimate midweek meal, this is one that the whole family will enjoy. It’s so quick and easy to whip up, it’s packed with hidden vege and you can […]
The River and Wren markets were on in Wagga over the weekend. Cork Daddy and I took the girls for something to do and were really impressed. So many stalls selling local, homemade goodies; there was something for everyone. From sweet treats and health foods to wall hangings, baby clothes and jewellery, the show ground […]
Of course you’re allowed to disagree with me, but I don’t think there is anything daggy about tinned salmon. I love it. Not used as much as it should, you don’t see many recipes cutting round using this tinned fish anymore. I’ve grown up eating salmon rissoles a lot and enjoy making this delicious salmon pate. […]
This roasted pumpkin salad is the perfect thing to bring when told ‘not to bring a thing’. So leave the Favourites at home and turn up with this impressive salad instead when invited to a friends place for a barbie. Goes down really well with any grilled meat, tastes delicious, looks great and is sure to […]
When my sister Elles lived in Sydney, she used to always have Chinese containers full of leftover risotto in her freezer. Whenever I’d head to the big smoke to go out for a night on the town, Jez and Elle would kindly let me crash at theirs. Oh how good was a steaming hot serve […]
We are so spoilt for choice when it comes to food. Obviously there are a huge number of restaurants in Sydney, Melbourne and other capital cities, but with Wagga being NSW’s biggest regional inland city (if you haven’t heard me tell you that before) you are able to choose from a large range of restaurants […]
A typical Saturday in our house. In to town for ballet and coffee in the morning, home for a chicken roll for lunch and then out to watch Cork Daddy play rugby in the arvo. “Chicken on a bread roll” as the girls have coined it, is one of THE best meals you can eat. […]
I feel the same way about brown rice as I do at the start of each new season. “What on earth did I used to wear last winter?” as I search for something to wear in the beginning of the colder months. What on earth did I used to eat before discovering individual, microwavable brown […]
