Scrambled Silken Tofu Breakfast with Greens

posted by

Breakfast is my least favourite meal, mainly just because I find the options that are egg, dairy & gluten free to be boring, and there is a lack of choices. I read that Black Salt, which strangely is pink, is the secret ingredient in making great scrambled tofu. I found some at Herbies (they have […]

Balmain Bugs with Chilli & Tomato Pasta

posted by

I started this blog so that I wouldn’t forget recipes that we enjoyed. I have a terrible memory and tend to make recipes up as I go so it’s difficult to remember a dish. My husband regularly say “write this down, exactly what you did”. I’d write it down and then lose where I wrote […]

Pumpkin, Carrot, Ginger & Turmeric Soup with Fried Curry Leaves

posted by

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from this soup, but it really surprised me. The addition of the fried curry leaves lifted it to a new level.  I was really just trying to make a soup out of the vegetables that are on the low histamine list, and I wanted to include turmeric for […]

Summer Zucchini, Corn & Basil (Vegan) Chowder

posted by

I miss a proper chowder, and will have to make when I can have seafood again and add some in, but this was a bloody good version on its own, and packed full of goodness. I’ve been struggling the past year or two with allergies/intolerances that I just can’t work out. I break out in […]

Chicken & Chorizo Casserole

posted by

This casserole may not look like much, but boy does it taste good. I was a little curious about the mix of ingredients, they didn’t struck me as going together, mainly because of the curry leaves, but it works.  I saw a recipe online and made a mental note of the main ingredients, but then […]

Campfire Chilli, Bacon & Tomato Mussels

posted by

I love camping, I love the relaxed pace, and being able to take time to cook. This trip we decided to experiment with cooking over an open fire, and I loved it. I want to cook with fire all the time now.  At the campground in Pebbly Beach, NSW, they had these awesome fire set […]

Spicy Chickpea, Chorizo, Tomato, Spinach & Goats Feta Brunch Bake

posted by

This is a breakfast of champions! Chickpeas, chorizo meatballs, spinach, tomatoes & goats feta all baked together. It packs a serious flavour and spice punch! It was one of those “make it up as you go” meals that really worked. In fact it worked so well that I think my husband would hate me if […]

Spinach, Broccoli, Kale & Black Rice Egg Free Frittata 

posted by

I had a heap of veggies left over from my produce bag and figured I’d give an egg-free frittata a go. I love the tufo quiche I make, so figured I’d do something similar. I seen a frittata recently that had wild rice in it and it looked great, so went with adding it in, made […]

Fig, Blueberry, Proscuito, Caramalised Onion & Goats Cheese Pizza

posted by

   I love fruit on pizza, so much lighter than the heavy cheese toppings you normally have. The fruits and savoury marry together beautifully. The blueberries pop in your mouth, and are lovely and sweet.  I have found a few brands of gluten free pizza bases that are also egg free, and they are so […]

Smoked Trout, Zucchini, Radish, Baby Potato & Herb Salad

posted by

We have had some lovely hot summer days the past week, so we have been enjoying some lighter dinners. This Smoked Trout, Zucchini, Radish, Baby Potato & Herb Salad was nice and quick to make, and tasted amazing. I had gorgeous yellow zucchinis in my produce bag this week, and some radishes left over from […]

Grilled Figs with Goats Cheese, Proscuito, Honey & Thyme

posted by

     I never really got figs until this summer, they looked pretty, but I found them a bit bland in taste.  But oh boy am I in love with them now! Turns out, that I just wasn’t eating them right.  With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to post this recipe, as it […]

Zucchini, Leek, Bacon & Cherry Tomato Pasta

posted by

Eating healthy doesn’t need to be difficult or time consuming. This absolutely delicious meal has only a few ingredients and was made in the time it took to cook the pasta. My husband has joined my gluten free diet which is making it so much easier, and we have also cut out all sugar. He […]

Jalapeno, Cheddar & Bacon Corn Fritters

posted by

These Jalapeno Corn Fritters were so good that I decided to persevere with trying to photograph them in terrible lighting conditions, during a torrential storm we were having last weekend. I’m not happy with the pics, but the recipe is so good, that I am posting it anyway. I always have to look at my […]

Honey & Soy Salmon with Infused Coconut Rice

posted by

Since giving up gluten, cows milk & eggs, I have felt pretty amazing. I find it sad that I spent most of my 20’s and half my 30’s in an exhausted, sick fog, and missed out on a lot of things I would have liked to do. I had no idea how badly it was […]

Beer Can Chicken With Chorizo & Haloumi Salad

posted by

Paul Hogan once made it an Aussie saying to ‘throw another shrimp on the barbie’ even though we don’t even call them shrimp in Australia, they are prawns here. But Beer Can Chicken has slowly been creeping in the past few years, and in my book, it doesn’t get more Aussie than a chicken sitting […]

Middle Eastern Spicy Lamb with Gluten Free Flatbread and Yoghurt

posted by

When we sit down to a meal, and after a few bites my husband says “are you sure this won’t make you sick?” I know I am onto a winner. I used to make this every now and then, but kept flicking past the recipe since I gave up gluten, and cow’s dairy, thinking it […]
