You know the drill. You’re running out the door and realise that amongst the chaos of getting everyone else ready, you haven’t had breakfast yourself. Insert the bliss ball. I love having a container of these in the fridge for a quick and easy snack when you’re on the go. Made in next to no […]
We went to Fiji last week on a family holiday and stayed on a beautiful island. A holiday we won’t be forgetting in a hurry. I think at first they thought I had to be a health inspector. Surely no normal guest would be asking so many questions about the food and the way it […]
I’ve been making so much homemade hummus lately. I honestly cannot get enough. Made using tinned chickpeas, it’s incredibly easy to make, so filling, nutritious and not to mention, delicious. I serve it alongside roasted veggies and quinoa on my fully loaded salad plates for lunch but it makes for the perfect dip when entertaining. […]
School went back last week. A busy and emotional time in our household as our darling Charlotte headed off to Kindergarten. People have always told me how busy it is when your child starts school and I have to say – I totally agree with them! I’ve been flat chat keeping up with all the […]
Everybody needs to have a few go-to salads in their repertoire. By all means, there’s nothing wrong with the humble and old school combo of some iceberg/tomato/cucumber and Spanish onion thrown together in a bowl. This tabbouleh with quinoa is just a little bit well.. a little bit ‘more’ when you’ve got friends over don’t […]
Christmas decorations are in the shops – already! They seem to be creeping in earlier and earlier each year. At the beach for the school holidays, Mum and I’ve been discussing how exciting it is to have Elles Belles and Jez home for Chrissie. Which got me thinking about our Thomas family Christmas. Mum’ll have presents […]
I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a cookbook. A compilation of my favourite recipes from the blog. I’m pretty confident I’d be able to get rid of a couple of copies. Mum would probably buy one (or ten), Cork Daddy could palm off a few to his workmates maybe and if my grandma […]
I recently bought a box of All-Bran. Random I know. I thought I might enjoy eating it for breakfast. Turns out, that wasn’t the case and it’s just been sitting in the pantry ever since. Not in it’s original packaging mind you as everything that enters our pantry, enters at it’s own risk. Packaging is […]
Weeks ago I made dhal for a meat free Monday night dinner and whilst doing a million other things, simply forgot about it, leaving it on the stove to burn. To a crisp. Talk about ruining a dish. We ate spag bol instead. And I’ve been wanting to make it again ever since. I was […]
My grandma, Mim makes the most delicious salmon rissoles and has taught me the tricks of the trade. Growing up, we’d often have them for dinner at the farm served with mashed potato and would eat the cold leftovers for lunch the next day, on an Arnott’s sesame wheat biscuit. I’m going to share some […]
