A new twist on one of our most loved family favourites: chicken schnitzels are on the menu pretty much most weeks, and not only because the kids love them, they're easily one of my favourite foods of all time. Over the years I've tweaked them in different ways, but I was recently forced to come [...]
This is one of those recipes I've been pinning forever but never actually tried cooking. The other day I had a defrosted pack of chicken breasts that I needed to use up, so I decided to make use of whatever was in the fridge and pantry and do the one pan wonder thing. I haven't [...]
This recipe, slightly adapted from one by the Australian Women's Weekly, ticks all the boxes, and if we know one thing about me, it's that I like lots of boxes ticked: slow cooker for less effort; a hearty warming soup; and no fancy or expensive ingredients; feeds a crowd; leaves you with freezable leftovers; delicious [...]
This was a recipe I've long wanted to share, but held back because what I cook and label paella isn't really the most authentic version, and also because it's a tough one when trying to get the quantities right {especially in terms of the amount of rice needed}. But at the end of the day [...]
I've been wanting to try out a one pan chicken and rice dish for so long, and what I had in mind was inspired by a paella but was even less effort, and I was after the kind of midweek meal that ticks all the boxes. Classic Mediterranean flavours have been something I'm stuck on, [...]
This salad is what you get when the dinner crowd grows unexpectedly at the last minute, so those few chicken schnitzels that were going to feed three now need to stretch to feeding a few more. There's always the pizza option or another trip to the shops for top up's but to be honest I [...]
Trust me when I say that this Middle Eastern spice mix is going to change your meals. I picked up a small tub earlier this year and liberally seasoned a free range chicken before cooking it on the BBQ {see recipe here} and it was one of the best things I've ever cooked. Since then [...]
It seems like no matter how many times I ask my kids what they feel like for dinner they always have the same answers: lasagne, Mexican, or pizza. So it was nice to get a different response when one came back with "buttermilk fried chicken". Off I went to Google for some clue as to [...]
I know that Winter is almost over but in Sydney August can be the most brutal month, with biting winds and that last ditch cold that sees me in dire need of a warming bowl of something hearty and delicious. And what's better in the winter than a steaming bowl of soup? {Vegan wannabe Ana [...]
It's no exaggeration to say that buying a new BBQ late last year has transformed our cooking. We opted for a gas model made by leading BBQ brand Weber, despite everyone saying no! not gas! don't do it! it tastes shit! And while I can't speak for all gas BBQ's there's no question that the [...]
