Here's the thing about matcha, for as pop-culture as it is at this moment in time it's been around for thousands of years -- and cares non if you love it or hate it. It's amusing you know, how when things become popular people love to loudly proclaim how much they dislike that said thing. There are people who love lemon or chocolate or coffee or caramel and those who don't, yet most people don't feel the need to stand on a soapbox and declare how much they despise one flavour more than … [Read more...]
Buttered Rum Granola
Hot Buttered Rum as granola, now there's a twist on a classic! Sweetly spiced and a little bit decadent, redolent of the warm winter beverage it's named after, this recipe actually doesn't contain any butter (what?!) but instead uses nutritional yeast for a umami buttery flavour. I have a lot of photos for this one yet not many words (can't talk, eating granola). Recipe is below as always. Buttered Rum Granola First up in my Cleaning Out the Cupboard Granola 101 series, … [Read more...]
Okonomiyaki Stuffed Sweet Potato
Let's be honest, I could eat sweet potatoes nearly every day. I could also (and usually do) put bonito flakes on almost anything. And these sautéed Brussels sprouts? Don't even get me started... We'll get back to the stuffed sweet potato version in a moment, but for those who aren't aware, Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake -- a savoury one, and more akin to huge fritter if we're being properly descriptive. It's found all over Japan and, not surprisingly, interpreted differently depending on … [Read more...]
No-Knead Hot Cross Buns
Every so often I think that I'd like to be one of those people who post relevant, seasonal, festive recipes for every imaginable holiday... Then reality and life set in and I get over it pretty quickly (haha). But amazingly I've managed to post a hot cross bun recipe every year, except for the first, since I started this little corner of the internet. 2012 kicked off the Easter parade with Sour Cherry, Orange and Earl Grey Hot Cross Buns. 2013 and 2014 were two of my faves with … [Read more...]
Summer Sangria Popsicles (plus a Virgin Sangria option)
I always used to smirk at those "10 things to do with leftover wine" lists, because who ever has leftover wine? But I somehow became that person who rarely drinks more than one glass in a go, and all of a sudden if a bottle of wine was opened there was almost always a couple of glasses left over. Then one day I horrified a girlfriend (who is a brand manger for a wine company, so rightfully horrified by bad wine habits) by sharing that I was known to re-cap and refrigerate said open bottle … [Read more...]
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...]
Macadamia, Kale & Blueberry Salad
I recently became that woman who looks like an idiot walking in high heels. The one I usually roll my eyes at while muttering under my breath about how people really should learn to walk in heels, or alter their footwear choices. But I used to wear towering shoes of every description, so how ever did this happen?! Well it turns out that walking in heels is not at all like riding a bike. Huh. You see, back in my corporate days, heels were a regular part of my wardrobe. There is, even … [Read more...]
