I’ve been on the TNT Diet for a few weeks now and with the exception of GG’s birthday weekend when we both did really applied ourselves and completely over indulged in all things cake, it’s getting easier to figure out what recipes to go with for dinner. And Sunday night it was time for kebabs again and the […]

GG recently decided that he would give the TNT (Targeted Nutrition Training) Diet a go, after reading about it in Men’s Health. I decided it would make life easier if I jumped on board as well. Mainly so then I wouldn’t have to stress about making different meals for the both of us. It’s basically […]

I really enjoy risotto. It’s a fairly simple dish to make and just super tasty! One Saturday afternoon I decided I would try my luck with a prawn and courgette risotto. I’d made it a few times before and thought I’d use this opportunity to work on my timing, just in terms of how quickly […]

Spending a Saturday afternoon cooking is a delightful indulgence. Given the season I decided to embrace stone fruits in my recipes….. with the key ingredient being scallops. Sort of like an Iron Chef challenge. First up I worked on a recipe that I have done previously with mangoes, but replaced it with nectarines. Basically slice […]

Bruschetta is nice and fresh and tasty and a delight in summer. How do I do it? Dice up some nice ripe tomatos, add garlic, salt and pepper, fresh basil and some good olive oil. Then its as easy as stirring the above ingredients together and adding to some fresh slices of baguette. And just […]

Sometimes when the mood strikes I like to wander through Coles and really thoroughly peruse the isles to see if there’s something fabulous that I just totally need. On one such days my must have item was wooden skewers, with the grand plan of making kebabs at some stage….. these sat in the drawer at […]

Recently I’d been around my parent’s place and my mum had told me about the night that my brother and his girlfriend had been around for dinner and they’d all worked on surf and turf together. Amy had the idea to replicate a recipe they do at her work, so they threw butter into a […]

  These  are some of my favourite burgers to do at home. Quick and easy and with the added bonus that turkey is meant to be a fairly healthy option. 500g turkey mince Zest of a lime and some lime juice Salt and pepper 2 eggs 1 onion 1 red chilli 2 cloves of garlic […]

Salt and Pepper Squid This was the first time I had cooked with squid. My dad had given me a vacuumed packed packet of squid. So I thought salt and pepper squid would be the way to go, but GG preferred it wasn’t battered, so I just marinated the lovely pre-cut squid rings….. Olive oil, salt, […]

I thought I would get my Aussie-Aussie-Aussie on come January 26th and try my hand at Anzac Biscuits. Never tried them before and they definitely seem like an icon biscuit. I googled for a recipe and my preference with biscuits is always for something chewy. Brown sugar seems the key to a chewy biscuit so […]
