I recently shared the above cheese platter image over on Instagram, and had so many people contact me looking for tips on how to create an entertaining platter on their own that I simply had to share the love here too. With a few simple tips and tricks anyone can put together a bountiful grazing platter in no time at all, really! Jump ahead to watch a video of this one coming together, or read-on for my top five tips for creating a perfect entertaining platter -- cheese or otherwise. 1. … [Read more...]
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...]
Seriously Amazing Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (they’re Dairy Free too)
Sometimes I have all the words, other times I sit here without a single thing to say. I should probably claim it's simply because these seriously amazing dairy free and gluten free chocolate chip cookies render me speechless -- haha -- however they tend to inspire exclamations of joy rather than bouts of silence. I've had these cookies on rotation for months -- including making them en-masse for 30+ family members at our cousin-fest reunion back in July, and having even those relatives … [Read more...]
Voting YES for equality
At this moment in Australia there is a plebiscite (a postal survey to gather opinions) asking Australians if same-sex marriage should be legalised. It is, at its best, ridiculous. Politicians shirking responsibility of actually having to make a decision on a highly contentious, emotionally charged topic that is in reality a matter of equal rights law, not personal opinion, is not only insidious but truly irresponsible. For starters the postal vote is optional (in a country where voting is … [Read more...]
Post-Workout Pineapple & Lime Smoothie
You know that girl who makes a green smoothie when she gets home from yoga? I'm totally that girl. (Or I was, back when I wrote this post nearly a year agao, before the shoulder reconstruction, when I was still going to yoga. Upside is that I can nearly raise my arm over my head at this point in time so a return to yoga is looking more promising every day. Also, it's a good thing I looked at my draft posts or this may have been lost forever in the black hole of unpublished content, ahem. Ok, … [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...]
Rainbow Cloud Eggs (or Unicorn Cloud Eggs, if you must)
If you haven't yet been inundated by cloud eggs you may be living in a cave (or perhaps simply don't live on Instagram and Facebook, ahem...). But either way, even if you are familiar with them I can guarantee you've never seen a rainbow/mermaid/unicorn version until now. Unicorn smoothies and mermaid toast are all the brilliantly time-wasting, superfood powdered rage these days, so it was only logical (completely illogical) for me to take the flash in a pan cloud egg craze a ridiculous … [Read more...]
