Pumpkin Tahini Toast
Things have been a little crazy around here lately. Well not HERE specifically, here it's been crickets, but real life has been a touch nuts. If you're following along at home over on Instagram or Facebook you would have seen that we're moving currently, but that's the pointy end of 6-months since we moved out of our old apartment in the end of May, stuffed everything into storage, and fled the country (haha). When our two month overseas trip ended we got an Airbnb for a month in Sydney, … [Read more...]
Cleaning Out the Cupboard Granola 101
A few months back we made the brilliant decision to move out of our (renting-been-there-far-too-long-greedy-landlady-tried-to-raise-the-rent-again-an-enormous-amount) apartment prior to heading off on an 8-week adventure. The combination of downsizing eight years of stuff, packing all my work and craft things, moving it all into storage and packing for the aforementioned holiday nearly broke us, however it also meant I came up with some pretty interesting ways to use all the things in the … [Read more...]
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.

Of course this is almost to be expected for something with the word "emergency" in its name. As … [Read more...]
Summer Mango Salsa
For so long I took photos only for myself. And then I got better at taking photos and started shooting for other people. And somewhere along the line I kind of stopped shooting for myself. Then last weekend RJ requested fish tacos with mango salsa for dinner and there was something so very perfect about the pile of fresh, brightly coloured produce we brought home from the shop that it simply had to be photographed. Of course not just made and shot but chopped and dropped and spread … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Smoothie Bowl
One day in late June... J: I just want to run away from it all R: . . . R: *raises eyebrow* J: oh, with you of course R: so when should we leave? Sometimes, in lieu of an immediate departure from the daily grind, chocolate for breakfast is the only solution. No judgement if you make it again and call it dessert. … [Read more...]
Creamy Vegan Asparagus Soup
Not only is my brain currently as fried as the eggs I've been photographing lately, but each time this little corner of the internets has caught my eye I've avoided its accusing glare, brewed a fresh cup of tea and settled in for yet another late night. We're on the precipitance of a reasonably last minute holiday -- provided I don't disintegrate into a pile of burnt toast crumbs before we board the plane to NYC -- but it's been far too long since a new recipe has graced these pages and it's … [Read more...]
