Crispy Oat Waffles

Crispy Oat Waffles

To say I've been living off these waffles is a bit of an understatement, so I figured it was about time -- after teasing you with the short version of the recipe a while back -- to properly share them here. And, as it's Valentine's Day, consider this my love letter to your breakfast (and lunch, and dinner) table. But to be honest, regardless of the day of the week or month, these waffles make for the perfect meal to share with someone you love. Convenient, eh? Crispy Oat … [Read more...]

Healthier Pecan Pie

December 24, 2016 By JJ 3 Comments

Healthier Pecan Pie

Well now, isn't that a terribly mundane name for a stunningly good pie. Perhaps I could have gone with something more descriptive like Dairy-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Pecan Pie, but I feel that it's really just a longer and equally mundane name for a remarkable dessert. So remarkable in fact, I had to make a video -- but we'll get to that in a moment. Maybe I should have named it something more screechy and celebratory -- The Best Pecan Pie Ever!!!! Life-Changing Pecan Pie!!! OMG … [Read more...]

3-Ingredient Emergency Cookies

June 18, 2016 By JJ 11 Comments

3-Ingredient Emergency Cookies

Sometimes you just need a cookie. It's a sentiment which seems to be a common theme around here these days -- although it's not quite as opinionated or parenthesised this time, ahem. These little morsles have made many an appearance on Instagram over the years, generally in a fit of irritation over something or other, occasionally for dinner, and very unfairly with nary a recipe to be seen. Of course this is almost to be expected for something with the word "emergency" in its name. As … [Read more...]

Fridge Surprise Skillet Hash & 3-Steps to Becoming a Leftovers Renovation Superstar

Fridge Surprise Skillet Hash & 3-Steps to Becoming a Leftovers Renovation Superstar

Sit up straight, take a deep breath and repeat after me... "Leftovers" is not a dirty word,"leftovers" is not a dirty word,"LEFTOVERS" IS NOT A DIRTY WORD! Don't believe me? I'm such a fan of the sentiment that I even made a little video to prove my case. Now I do get it, leftovers are -- without a doubt -- polarising. People either love them or hate them -- and the hateful feelings are generally driven by shudder-inducing (or gag-inducing) memories of dried out, fragrant in the … [Read more...]

Vegan Butter (Dairy-Free | Soy-Free | Gluten-Free | Probably Paleo)

July 19, 2014 By JJ 13 Comments

Butter and I have a long history -- or perhaps a lack there of... Many decades ago there was a cheeky toddler habit of biting into sticks of butter (and onions apparently), but that quickly passed and turned into years of simply not using butter because it was just tasteless fat spread over toast and what was the point? Then more recently there was the discovery of local hand-made cultured butter. Packed with flavour and spiked with crystals of sea salt it changed my mind about humble … [Read more...]

How to Cut a Watermelon – a simple yet brilliant technique (Video)

How to Cut a Watermelon – a simple yet brilliant technique (Video)

It's the simple things -- finding a leftover piece of cake in the fridge, receiving an offhand compliment from a stranger, cracking a recipe with an unexpected twist -- that surprise and delight me. But it's the "why didn't I think of that first" discoveries that really stick with me. Cutting a watermelon seems a simple task, just rounds and wedges, right? But late last year I came across a whole new way. During our trip we spent a week in Cape Cod with my extended family. We ate and … [Read more...]
