Miso & Walnut Slow Bros

As I was browsing Kmart at a slow pace,{ like I normally do } I ventured to the recipe section. { like I always do } and came across I QUIT SUGAR ~ SIMPLICIOUS by Sarah Wilson. I follow her on Instagram, and have cooked recipes from her I Quit Sugar website. The sausage rolls on there, are incredible! I brought the book, and kept on with my...

Sweet Potato Salad

The best potato salad ever!!! No kidding, it's that good!!! Another afternoon of overthinking dinner options. Truth is, when it's just me at home, I can't be bothered cooking much. I hate to cook dinner for just one person as the kids usually have something else. I felt like healthy food, but tasty. The kids needed feeding, and I was really struggling with...

Cheesy Cauli Bread

Mason's birthday was coming up, and I usually cook a couple loaves of garlic bread to have with the party food dinner. Last year, I was full on Paleo eating, and wanted to keep his birthday food healthy, but still yummy. Cauliflower bread. I got a lot of scrunched up faces, and a slight gagging sound from Bailey who loathes cauliflower. { ugh }...

Blueberry & Coconut Jelly

Jelly.. I make it weekly for the boys school lunch. On weekends, I get sick of them trying to sneak junk food every time I turn my back, apparently they're Ninja's and invisible. Oh to be a child again. I offer them jelly, and they don't want any because that's only for school. I've been told! They love blueberries. We always have tons of them...

Lentil & Veg Soup

This is the most easiest soup to make. Full of flavour, and extremely filling. My kids even enjoyed it, and that's saying something. You don't even have to chop up the veggies that well, as it all gets blended together, or you can have it as is, a more chunkier style soup. INGREDITENTS 1 red onion, diced 3 stalks celery, chopped 2 carrots,...

Sweet Potato Lasagne

That's how I usually take my photo's. With Miss Toddler hoovering above, saying "yum, yum" over and over again as she licks her plump chops, and goes in for the fistful of food. She loves her mama's cooking, and eats everything. I've made a point to give her everything to try, and unlike her brothers, she loves everything so far. Even raw food....

Cashew Cream Cheese

O.M.G I struggled not to eat all of this immediately. I love cashews, and this was incredible!! Super delish! It's smooth, and creamy. Would be amazing served on anything, or just eating it straight from the bowl, off the spoon or in my case, taking huge swipes with my finger and re tasting over, and over again. Until I remembered, that I actually...

Kale Pesto

  Easy. Simple. Mess free! Exactly what I wanted. I loved this only because it was quick and easy to make. The boys thought I was making the most disgusting thing ever when I took the bowl to them, and said here's your tea! { they ran off gagging } INGREDIENTS 4 cups kale, ripped apart { no stems or just a large bag of...

Best Nacho's Ever!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love Nachos. They're so easy to make, and always enjoyable.. I'd have them the same way every time. 1 bag of Dorito's, 1 small tub sour cream, jar of salsa and almost using the entire packet of grated cheese. Then I'd sit and eat the entire thing. I recently just found out, that while I had...

Sloppy Joe's with Salad

Sunday afternoon and I'm standing around the kitchen wondering what to eat that won't make me feel all gross and heavy on this super hot day. I wanted something kinda healthy, but didn't want a plain salad. I was on Pinterest, because that's my go to for dinner ideas, and came across Sloppy Joe's. I didn't want to get mince out of the...
