Jo’s Kumura & Bacon Salad

We’ve recently made some lovely new friends from NZ.  It’s kinda rare to make genuine new connections at this age with the daily hustle often getting in the way, but the kids have brought us together with some lovely new peeps of late.  It’s a real joy to find new souls to share in the many excitements and dramas that come with family life and to gain new insights and perspectives along the way.  Of course, one of the inevitable highlights of time spent with friends is food, and we have been very lucky to gain this amazing new potato salad recipe!READ MORE

Mexican chowder

What a freezer we’re having this winter.  I can’t remember these sub-zero temperatures so consistently throughout the cold season before.  Certainly inspiration to whip up some belly warming soups.  This is a variation on a recipe I found on the Good Food site.  The kids would have loved it had I not accidentally used hot paprika instead of smoked or sweet.  Oops.  We thought it was delicious and definitely cleared our heads.  Enjoy with some good bread and loads of butter of course.READ MORE

Granola Bars

I’ve been trying to find a quick, easy and healthy breakfast on the go for the boy for those mornings when a big bowl of porridge is just too much of an ask.  Something that will fill that little belly and keep him ticking until morning tea and avoid the familiar crabby meltdown of a hungry child.  I think these are the answer!  READ MORE

Freekeh Salad

What a tasty little grain this is.  Freekeh is young, green wheat which has been toasted and cracked.  One of the so called ‘ancient grains’ which have made a resurgence in recent years, it is packed full of goodness and tastes great too.  I can’t get it at my supermarket, but I think some fancy supermarkets stock it and most delis and health food shops.  READ MORE

Avocado Salad with Cumin and Pepitas

I recently bought the most beautiful new cookbook by Ashley Rodriguez – she’s a former chef in the US who has the award winning blog ‘Not Without Salt’.  The book is called ‘Date Night In’ and it’s packed full of decadent feasts to share with your significant other, designed to get the juices flowing and reinvigorate relationships (wink wink).  READ MORE
