A celebration. A celebration of life no matter how brief. A celebration of life because the alternative is a contemplation of loss and the extraordinary sadness that accompanies it. Five years ago on this day, a special soul left our family and this earth. She was 19. An artist, a musician, a budding chef, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend. There wasn't a funeral, instead a Memorial Mass and Celebration of Life. We had only just moved back to Sydney weeks earlier but there was no … [Read more...]
Cinnamon Cauliflower Coffee Cake & Caramel Sauce
Since we got back from our adventure I have been on a much needed clean-eating kick. If you were following along at any point you know we were quite literally consuming everything in our path as we made our way around The America's for almost three months - and it wrapped-up for me with a gluttonous weekend at EDB2012. Back in my own kitchen I gravitated immediately to the quinoa, brown rice, kale and eggs. It's how I prefer to eat, honestly, and a bit of ingenuity makes for some pretty tasty … [Read more...]
Almond & Coconut Cookies
. "You know, I've been thinking... we-should-have-chocolate-pudding-tonight..." The words tumbled out, stepping on each other in their urgency to be heard, as if she thought I'd say no. Funny thing was I too had been craving pudding only a few hours earlier, and even if I hadn't, who am I to say no to chocolate pudding? L and I made our way through the supermarket which sells food that is whole [ahem] collecting bits and bobs for the next few days and plotting what dinner that evening would … [Read more...]
Custard Apple Lassi
Remember all those Custard Apples I got a while back? Well I'm working through the alarmingly decreasing supply in my freezer and this is the latest incarnation. Lassis are traditionally made from mango, but pairing the luscious custard apple flesh with cardamom and yogurt was one of the first things that came to mind, so I went with it. The fruit purees much like mango - creamy and sweet - so it just made sense. Because I like really thick smoothies I used the fruit frozen rather than … [Read more...]
Honey-Pistachio Granola | Guest Post
As you read this RJ and I are practicing our extraordinarily poor Spanish on the unsuspecting population of Buenos Aires, and in a few days will be setting off to hike the Inca Trail. Conveniently, Katherine Martinelli is here with a gorgeous granola to keep you well fed! I've admired Katherine's blog for ages and regularly link-up in her weekly blog hops. We had hoped to meet in person in NYC this year during both our trips home but schedules didn't quite synch-up. So instead, she's here to … [Read more...]
Vegan Creme Anglaise
wake up late, lie in bed listening to the chatter downstairs and smelling the fresh baked muffins put on fleece pants hang around, eat muffins, drink tea change from old sleeping t-shirt into old daytime t-shirt, begrudgingly change out of fleece pants for slightly more acceptable cargos do not put on makeup take pictures of farm, eat grapes off vines, wander around in barn, cook a bit, hang around fend off advances of grandmother bearing more muffins, drink tea chat … [Read more...]
Delicious Power Crackles | Guest Post
About now we are somewhere on Route 66 - taking the long way from Kansas City to Chicago because we can. So how, you may ask, have I had time to bring you these little morsels of goodness? Cue the magic of the blogging community! You may know Christina as one of my co-hosts for the monthly Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, or perhaps as the co-chair of Eat.Drink.Blog-2012 or maybe just from her own gorgeous blog The Hungry Australian, but today she's here to visit. A few months back I did a guest … [Read more...]
