Happy St Paddy's Day, Internets! In honour of the day everyone becomes a little bit Irish - or if you live in most places along the eastern seaboard of America-land everyone becomes a lot bit Irish - I present to you a recipe from a Turkish cookbook. Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. I present to you brilliant green fritters that just so happen to come from a Turkish cookbook. That's a bit better. St Paddy's Day is a pretty important day to me - especially this year - but more on that … [Read more...]
Kale Chips
Chips and beer, chips and beer, chips and beer. Well maybe just chips, but still, they would be brilliant with beer. Also, if you have never had Chimay... what is there to even say about it... a spring evening with friends, an autumn afternoon in a beer garden, a winter's night curled up with a good book... Belgian, rich, a little bit fruity, and just simply amazing. However, if you are a perpetual 'gimme a pint of America-land Light' kind of person, while the chips will still go down a … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie Spread
Um, yum, just yum. For as much as I love Cake! I am at least as equally obsessed with Pie! Not the crust bit mind you, in my opinion it really just gets in the way of the business end of pie - the filling. Sweet, savory, creamy, fruity, whatever, I could sit with a pie tin and eat the whole middle bit - one small spoonful at a time. Now I've just shared with you my crusade on pumpkin, so what else to do but get straight to the point on this one. Apple, pumpkin, spices and voila, a spread … [Read more...]
French Toast-ed Grilled Cheese
It's French Toast on the outside and Grilled Cheese on the inside, kind of like the old Wheel of Fortune before and after puzzles...but even better, instead of some random living room suite, the prize is tasty and delicious, and not covered in brown corduroy. The trick to good Grilled Cheese, and French Toast for that matter, is heat control. Even if [especially if?] it is 2am and you are just getting home and desperate for savoury gooey-ness. You just cannot rush even browning and … [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...]
Dinner for one
So everyone has that diner they eat when there is no one else around - no one to feed something from each of the food groups to, or appease with a steak, or impress with something complicated that was 'just a breeze to throw together'. It's that thing that you generally eat standing up at the counter, or wearing an ex's t-shirt in front of the TV, or even curled up in bed with the cat. Some hectic nights we resort to fried eggs on toast and I've been known to have cereal with frozen … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Hummus
I eat about 5 times a day. And regularly carry nuts and apples in my bag when I go out for the day [yep, I’m a bit like a 4 year old but at least I can pack my own snacks]. So I am constantly on the hunt for healthy in-between meal type things that aren't always carb based. Hummus from the store tends to have all kinds of crap in it and some pretty odd tastes depending what brands you get, yet it is SOOO easy to make yourself. This has bit of a twist on the traditional stuff but it … [Read more...]
