CHICK PEA, CORIANDER, AVOCADO AND LIME SALAD
Chick Pea, Avocado and Lime Salad
I am trying to include more pulses in our diet; They are cheap, easy to cook if you think about it in advance and so good for you!
This salad happened on Mother’s Day, the day that I should not have been cooking, but any hoo, if I wanted to eat something yummola, it was always going to be up to me! SO, cued the BBQ, and husband…made salads, and this was just one...

HORCHATA; DAIRY FREE RICE NUT MILK
Horchata
Drinkies anyone??? This drink is rumored to be a cure for a hangover and is frequently served at breakfast time. Even though the drink has a milky appearance it is completely dairy-free. It is Mexican in origin and is supposed to be sweet, but if you wish to have it with less sugar, you can add sugar to taste after you have blended it. Served in market places throughout Mexico, it is the...

CHORIZO, POTATO AND CABBAGE SOUP
Chorizo and Cabbage Soup
We finally had a cool day! And some rain…lots of it actually…so of course my culinary thoughts turned to soup! I had chorizo in my fridge (a stock standard staple at mine…love redundant alliteration as well) and so this was a natural progression. The marriage with steamed cabbage was also fuelled by what was already in my fridge, and so YUMMOLA, we had dinner. In minutes....

PINK RASPBERRY LIME-ADE
Pink Lime-Ade
Well I am to be a grandmother in just a few weeks…not surprisingly this is both amazing and wonderful! I have decided however to be called ‘Grandy’ not Nanna, not Nan, not Grandma, not Granny. I have been told that this is not up to me, but I figure, a slap or two and the kid will get it down no problems!
(Just in case you don’t know me by now, I jest!!)
For the baby shower (it...

Smorgastarta Up Close and Personal!
Okey, so if you are on board with me here….this is what you are waiting for to finish off this creation. It really is impressive and a lot of fun to serve. There are a lot of ideas for decorating, I went with Swedish (sort of) but for lots of other ideas head on over to this The Kitchn post. There were mixed reactions at the...

SMORGASTARTA (Sandwich Layer Cake) Part 1
Frosted but undecorated
Crio Bru Wholemeal Cake Loaf
I am missing a few accents in the title, this Swedish sandwich cake is actually spelt, Smörgåstårta and is of course a salute to all things sandwich…and so pretty! Which is why it appealed to me in the first place. I have (as some of you know) reached the ripe old and mature...

LEMON & RICOTTA BAKED PANCAKES
Lemon, Ricotta Filled Baked Pancakes
A quickie and a goodie…it started as a dessert idea, but turned into breakfast one morning at my house when my son who is ALWAYS hungry, complained about the lack of breakfast foods that jumped out of the cupboard and into his mouth.
So, to protect myself from further breakfast wrath, I did a quick pancake batter, looked at what was available in the fridge, and...
