It’s a rainy day and for the life of me all I feel like doing is embroidery. Sitting down with a hoop and some silk and painting a picture with thread. We’re camping though, albeit in a house, with most of our possessions still packed away in a shed – for the most part it’s…

My favourite bulk cookie mix: The Mast Brother’s Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
We had a cold snap overnight and as such I write this post in the lounge with our first fire blazing in the fireplace. It’s not too cold but my dad did call to see if we wanted to bail the farmhouse and stay there tonight. I laughed and put another log on. Since writing…
Maggie Beer’s Peaches
One of the brilliant things about moving is that I don’t have my cookbooks… nor do I have all my standard equipment. Brilliant you say? I hear you! It’s been difficult but I reckon it’s been awesome because I’m trying out new recipes and new ways of doing things. It’s also wonderful because I have…
VEGEEEEMMMMIIIITTTTTEEEEEE
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! My excitement is off the charts right now. I can make our own Vegemite!!! It’s Gluten Free, It’s Oh. So. Tasty. It’s Healthy (!!) and it tastes better than the real thing. For those who aren’t Australian, you might not get my excitement right now. That’s…
Vegan Cheese? Yes Please!
While on a recent holiday to Tasmania we popped into a shop selling vegan cheeses for Mr Incredible. They were delicious and he could eat them ALL… the price though was extreme. $20 or so for a small round. Crazy right? Especially when you can make it sooo much cheaper with very little effort at…
Road stop inspiration: Beetroot, Carrot, Cabbage, Ginger and Apple salad with a honey & lime dressing
We had an impromptu visit to the Hunter Valley last weekend to help out some older friends. He was about to go in for an operation and we found out over a cup of tea that they were about to pick up a load of hay so was unable to help. From previous experience, loading…
Easy lunches: Gut Soothing Bone Broth with a whole chicken
Mr Incredible and I have been reading Dr Michael Moseley’s “The Clever Guts Diet” and finding some great ways to implement a better diet for our gut health (and reasons to do so). One of the best things about the book is really easy to follow recipes that are easy to do. One of them…
Lunchbox safe: nut, dairy, gluten and sugar free muesli bars – which are delicious too!!
Mr Incredible just got the following text message: Cooked these. They’re awesome and may not be any left when you get home…. shall I save you one?? Made with banana as a binder and whatever you have in the cupboard, these muesli bars are incredibly versatile and super duper delicious. In fact, with the fruity…
Hummus that works – and tastes oh. so. good.
I’ve had a mixed relationship with making hummus. When Adventure Girl started solids I would make it often and while it was on the chunkier side, we both quite enjoyed it. Upon reflection though it was after a friend came over for lunch and couldn’t stand it that I stopped making it so much… she…
Signs of refreshment: Baking Everyday Oatmeal Bread from Simply in Season
I think we all have signs that indicate we’re feeling refreshed. For some it might be having the emotional energy to make a phone call, for others it’s winding down enough to sit and read a book, for others still it might be the desire to get out the paint set or get dressed up…
