They were a spur of the moment purchase at the farmers' market. A bag of peas in the shell, sitting just next to the scale. The peas (along with some broccoli and cucumbers) went into a satchel -- and then subsequently sat in the fridge, looking at me every time I opened it to grab something else. It wasn't until I started shelling them a day or two later that I realised fresh peas need almost nothing else to make them special. A pea and feta smash was in consideration for a moment but … [Read more...]
Chocolate Granola
Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Like the day I landed on Food.Baby.Life, my assigned blog for March Secret Recipe Club, and the first post on the first page was for a grain-free chocolate granola. And that granola called out to me so loudly that I didn't want to go any further. But I did, because it's the responsible thing to do, and I'm so glad I dug a bit deeper... I discovered that Susan -- a mum to three little ones under five who is also studying Naturopathy -- is … [Read more...]
Leftover Fruit Platter Popsicles
There is every chance this recipe looks familiar. Perhaps like a recent smoothie? But when something works you may as well ride that wave as far as it goes. Especially when the wave tastes as good as these do. Yes, you can use whatever leftover fruit you have lying around. Yes you can add juice or coconut milk or champagne. Yes you can eat them for breakfast. I'm glad we had this chat. … [Read more...]
Garlic Rainbow Chard & Chipotle Spiced Seeds
There's been a lot of cake around here lately. A lot. But there's only so much cake one girl can eat (or so the waistband of my pants tells me). So I figured it was high time for something veggie based... No, not veggie based like all those cakes, but simple sautéed green veggies. Wait, don't go! It's not all green veggies, I used rainbow ones, that must count for something. And they are brilliantly garlic-y. And I put spiced seeds on top. And an egg, a … [Read more...]
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting (or Cheesecake Frosting, if you insist)
I've done it again haven't I? Teased you with a cake and promised frosting, then made you wait a week for the recipe. I had every intention on sharing this a few days ago, but then another cake happened. It happens. There is every chance this icing recipe may look a bit familiar, perhaps a bit like Vegan Cheesecake... But what is Cream Cheese Frosting if not cheesecake spread over cake -- am I right? In any case don't question it, just make it. Then try not to eat it all … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
Hum, it appears any hope of stringing words together in a cohesive sentence has once again left me. I'm blaming it on seemingly never ending days of prep > style > shoot > repeat, occasionally punctuated by sort > sort again > edit > send. Not that I'm complaining -- far from it -- but it seems that spending all day every day in front of a stove and a camera has turned my brain to mush for little other than faffing. In a stand against the mush I've decided it's … [Read more...]
Chocolate Tahini Spread (aka Nut-free Not-tella)
Do you know what today is? It's World Nutella Day! Let's all cheer and get hopped up on sugar and palm oil! Wait, that isn't right... is it? Please indulge me for a moment as we hop into the time-machine -- help yourself to a cup of tea or a shot of bourbon and remember to buckle your seatbelt as we flash-back to my original anti-Nutella post three years ago: ... On the World Nutella Day site the founders claim: Nutella is more than just a “chocolaty hazelnut spread,” it is a way of … [Read more...]
