Is there ever an end to how many ways you can cook breakfast with a small number of ingredients? It never ceases to amaze me the number of different combinations that arise when you hunt around for a bit of inspiration. I was on a bit of a mushroom tangent recently and decided to bake…

Vegetarian frittata
For those who don’t know, we have two delightful Isa Brown chickens called Doris and Daphne. We got Daphne first and she’s top hen. She’s also a little older than Doris and her eggs are bigger. I find having two different sized eggs comes in very handy, especially when breaking down recipes into different quantities….
Trio of sliders
First of all I am very excited as I have finally found a source of slider buns. Hooray. Sliders make so much sense to me. I mean why would you have just one large burger in one flavour when you can have three small ones in three different flavours? I’ve been on a mission to…
Spanish countryside?

Crunchy polenta coated ricotta arancini balls
I made these for a ‘pot luck’ dinner I’m going to at a friends house tonight. They were ideal for making ahead and keeping in the fridge ready to be heated up in the oven for 10 minutes when I get there. For added gluten-free joy I substituted breadcrumbs for polenta. The result is VERY…
Breakfast with Karen
With my taller half being away in China it was a nice time to have some breakfast company with my friend Karen. I grilled some medium sized mushrooms with a lovely marinated goats feta, roasted capsicum and shredded zucchini strips with some olive oil and fresh thyme, grilled a couple of lovely middle rashers of…
Quick Kangaroo for one
So I’m flying solo while the taller half is in China visiting family. I also had a chilly 4am start this morning due to Federal Budget requirements so I needed something quick and nutritious to ward off the cold. I went for baked sweet potato and spanish onion with loads of thyme served with grilled…
