It is officially autumn in America-land. The seasons are changing, Halloween is full steam ahead there are pumpkin recipes everywhere. Sydney on the other hand has not yet woken up to the fact that it should be getting warmer here, and although it is now light until after 7pm [thank you daylight savings] it still feels more like winter than spring. All of these things combined, along with the promise I made to continue the 'brunch we never had' and the fact that shortly the trip recap will … [Read more...]
Cornbread Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Compote
Now I figure that all this trip recapping will go on for quite a while, and in the meantime the least I can do is make you brunch. That said, it is only fair to let you know that the sub-title of this post is 'the brunch we didn't have until now'... Someone Tweeted a pic the first day of Blogher from Cafe 222 in San Diego. I looked it up on The Google Machine and decided that as it was just on the edge of Gas Lamp, and only blocks from our hotel, we needed to go there immediately if not … [Read more...]
Best Wholewheat Bread
So somewhere in the middle of my veggie kick I finally gave into temptation and found some time to bake this bread…and then I almost passed out. This stuff smells so good. The first time I made it I really just wanted fresh bread for dinner. We were out of our usual [organic, no chemicals, no soy, sourdough] loaf which is nice but still just grocery story sandwich bread, I was a bit over wraps and we're trying to avoid loose rolls from the supermarket. Not to mention that once you're … [Read more...]
Bounty Bites
Everyone needs to have a treat every now and then. If it ticks the healthy and satisfying and moorish boxes all at once, even better. I found these Organic Dates on sale the other day and had to do something with them. All of the flavours in these little morsels of goodness meld together beautifully and nothing overpowers. I could have called them Coconut-Chocolate-Date-Nut-Truffle-Balls, but Bounty Bites just sounds nicer to me... Make sure you don’t miss the alternate recipe combination … [Read more...]
Spelt Plum Cake
So when we started the detox my first concern [obviously] was how I could make cake that we are ‘allowed’ to eat. This was followed very soon after by how I could make pizza happen but that we'll get to later. I have determined that I love the thought of cake as much as cake itself. It’s in part due to the texture – the dense, rich, comforting wonderfulness that you just can’t get from anything else. No it’s not a carb craving [toast with almond spread solves that], or a sweet craving [piece of … [Read more...]
Spicy Chili Sauce
Something red and spicy for Valentine's Day - Chili Sauce! I love chili in all its forms so it is fitting that this is my first recipe post. I am on a bit of a tear trying to find ways to replace things we eat [or used to eat] with alternatives that taste great and are a bit healthier [no preservatives/chemicals etc]. This one was hugely successful. The traditional stuff is fabulous...on raw oysters, grilled chicken, Asian greens, eggs, whatever….love it. But it is a full of a bit of … [Read more...]
