I bet you’ve heard of the ol’ smashed avocado debate. Last year millionaire Tim Gurner came under fire when he shared some advice with the youth of Australia. He advised one to ditch the avocado on toast (a popular brunch dish bought in trendy cafes) and to put that money into buying a house instead. […]
A good friend of mine, who I mustn’t name, is always banging on about the ‘points system’. You cook dinner – you get points. You stay out too late at the pub and mope around the house all day – you’re in the red. Your wife goes on a girls weekend away and you look […]
Everyone should know how to make a killer omelette. Once you get the basics right, you can add absolutely anything you want, think bacon, feta, capsicum, parmesan cheese, chilli flakes, asparagus, smoked salmon or spinach. An omelette will take you from breakfast to brunch to lunch to dinner and can be made to feed an […]
Anyone up for some ‘purple ice-cream?’ AKA a banana and mixed berry smoothie. Makes for the perfect breakfast or easy snack for you and the kids and if you’re like me – when 3 o’clock rolls round – you’re looking for something to get you through to dinner time. I’ve trialled so many smoothie recipes […]
“Yuck!” Charlotte pipes up as she watches me peel the severely overripe, browned (ok, more like blackened) bananas for this cake. If you’re anything like me, you’ll often have fruit left in the fruit bowl that has gone a little past its use by date. But don’t worry about your bananas. Once matured, they have […]
How good is Bircher museli!? If you haven’t had it before, you should have a crack at making your own. It’s so easy and the perfect solution to get you out of that breakie rut I often find myself in. Bircher is great for a kids party on a Saturday morning or to have in […]
You’re standing at the Woolies checkout; glancing over at Harry and Meghan on the cover of some glossy magazine, and your eyes land on a packet of crumpets piled up high on the “impulse buy” stand. “Of course I need crumpets”, you say, throwing them into your trolley. You get home, pop them in the […]
Anyone need some tips for jazzing up their weekly breakies or need some inspo for the weekend when you have friends staying over? With the Easter long weekend on our doorstep you are bound to find something below that will help you create a special ‘hot breakfast’ for your guests. A good breakie at home […]
The girls and I love making (and eating) crepes on Monday mornings. What better way to start the week. I love them with lemon and sugar and years of practice have meant that I can get them paper thin. Practice makes perfect. Note to self: remember to buy a second whisk to avoid fights! These […]
Having two small girls, I can say that we’ve definitely had our fair share of babycino’s and banana bread in many a cafe in town. This recipe is great to create at home and is the easiest and the nicest banana bread I’ve tasted. Make this, wrap it up in some kitchen paper and string […]
I have been in a bit of a breakfast rut of late so I was excited about re-discovering my love of a bowl of humble old porridge oats. The quick oats are so creamy and quick to make and talk about filling! NB: Check out the Texta marks on my kitchen table. Food styling en […]
