Sashimi Buddha bowls

February 27, 2017 by date with a plate.

So far this year I have stuck to my goal (that’s goal, not resolution) of eating healthier food. Yay for me! But it hasn’t always been easy. The first two weeks of my new fancy meal plan saw me subconsciously reach for sugary treats, whether it was a late night chocolate craving or even just a teaspoon of sugar to go in my cup of tea…the struggle was real. But I managed to resist thanks to some well-planned snacking options and a steel […]

Beef rib tacos (with all the trimmings)

February 23, 2016 by date with a plate.

Pickled radish

June 29, 2015 by date with a plate.

While it’s wonderful to grow your own produce, I sometimes stress about the potential for waste as everything ripens/matures at the same time. It is at this point in time I start to plan what I am going to do with an entire box of tomatoes or thirty beetroots…I can’t stand food waste and either gift some to friends, or depending on what is it, I will make jam, chutney or pickle it. Suffice to say our fridge is overwhelming […]
