I have been living on the peanut rayu from White Mausu recently. When I say living on it, I actually mean like I used to eat peanut butter out of a jar in the 80’s. Something had to give! My wallet was the first thing to go. So, with about 110 kilos of monkey nuts...
Pancakes make a delicious breakfast option, but what if I told you that you could use them for lunch and dinner too!? This recipe and cooking method provides the perfect solution to healthy lunch box snacks and ‘on the go’ snacks for your busy day. Check out the list of ideas below and prepare to...
I absolutely love a good salad. But in the winter, it doesn’t feel right to be eating something cold. With this in mind, I feel that a warm winter salad is the only answer. Instagram is a great place to get food inspo and when I saw that Katia from Properfood was having a warm salad...
My hands are scarred. No – not from the war. No – not from hand to paw combat with a mountain lion. They are scarred from years of trying to peel and chop vegetables harder than ripe coconuts. Included are turnips (forever my nemesis, but so delicious with butter and black pepper) butternut squash and...

If you were a kid in Ireland in the 80’s, then you knew that all vegetables were the same colour (kind of greeny brown or orangey brown) and could be ingested by being sucked through a straw. Al dente was something smart that a young fella said when he hit your rear bumper and leeks...
I used to think I was a coffee purist until one day, about 15 years ago, I was introduced to Gloria Jeans Hazelnut blend. From that moment on (probably more so because of the romance surrounding this particular coffee date) I was hooked (to the man, and the coffee). I haven’t been on an endless...
When it comes to food, I am brutally honest. Perhaps this is why Richy asked myself and the hubby to be part of a feedback group for the new Winter menu at Richy’s Restaurant. I never say no to the offer of a good meal. So, when I had finished jumping up and down in...
Did someone say cake for breakfast? I’m sold! But what about the butter and the sugar and, and, and………. Let’s not worry about those for a moment, shall we. Just for a second, lets think about the fact that you could potentially get some carrot, apple, linseed AND protein into your little fairy before they...
