Meatless Monday #5 Cheese, Leek, and Herb Souffle Casserole

There are very few things in life that are as satisfying as the annual Easter long weekend, and nothing so sad as the last few hours of the said long weekend. I did a fair bit of cooking and other domestic duties during the last couple of days and stocking my fridge until it fits… Continue reading Meatless Monday #5 Cheese, Leek, and Herb Souffle Casserole

Meatless Monday #3 – Lentil burger and happy Australia Day

Happy Austraya Day! Depending on where you live in this continent, you are either basking in the sun or hiding indoor enjoying the cool sojourn from the relentless heat this week. Today also marks the end of the annual Sydney Festival. Sadly I didn’t venture to eat Gelato Messina’s mind bending creations, but I did… Continue reading Meatless Monday #3 – Lentil burger and happy Australia Day

Meatless Monday – #2 Coconut Quinoa Bowl

There is that awkward time in January once the dates acquire double digit that it’s no longer New Year. Double digit January dates are the well meaning toddlers bumping into corners and crying loudly whenever they bump into a New Year resolution and accidentally breaks it or sat. In the normal course of a year these… Continue reading Meatless Monday – #2 Coconut Quinoa Bowl

Meatless Monday – 2015 #1 Indian Ratatouille

Happy New Year! I watched the last day of the year go by in Cairns, and really enjoyed the chilled atmosphere and surprisingly lack of smart phones being pulled out as people watch the firework over the jetty.

Meatless Monday – Bircher Muesli

  I’ve been a bit sick in the last couple of weeks, so cooking and blogging a Meatless Monday recipe that doesn’t look like soupy sludge was a bit of a challenge. With a couple of friends coming for brunch I hunt around for breakfast dishes and came across Taste’s Bircher Muesli recipe. Considering the number… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Bircher Muesli

Meatless Monday – Mushroom and spinach risotto

If you’re like one of the billion of people who stayed up late or wake up extra early for the World Cup final, you’re probably feeling just as wrecked as I am at the moment. After a series of incredibly long, drawn out matches in the last couple of rounds, nothing made me happier than… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Mushroom and spinach risotto

Meatless Monday – Irish Stew

I’m starting to appreciate the saying “done is better than perfect”, especially when it comes to forming habits. Sometimes making sure I’m on track is more important than creating the perfect blog entry. Sometimes the end goal is the journey, the longer I stay on the path the more likely I am to reach the… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Irish Stew
