This recipe came about because I *was* diligently organising myself to do meal prep and I then realised my diligence was rubbish as the turkey mince I had bought smelled weird and I wasn’t going going to chance it. No big deal. No meat – I figured it was a good opportunity to vegetarian it…

This meal was created one night when there was a mexican stand off in the kitchen. Actually not really. Neither Al or I wanted to cook – and clearly I was more hungry so I caved. Am ever so glad I did because this took next to no time to make and it was so…

This recipe has been submitted to us by Belinda! Belinda loves her water chestnuts and I have to concede.. I too, am now a fan after making this!

One of my favourite things about staying in Myanmar was the food. Oh. Em. Gee. The food. The first dish I tried upon arriving in Yangon was a Chicken Pumpkin Curry. They said it wouldn’t be hot and spicy and I did not trust them. I was so wrong. Thus – my love for this…

This recipe is a quick and easy recipe with a slightly middle eastern flavour. Chick Peas are such a versatile ingredient and they give a very distinct and appealing favour to everything you add them to so it makes sense to let them be a main flavouring to this chicken recipe! When you mix the…

I was never really one to like Sweet Potato. I think it comes back to when I was a kid and mum used to use brown potatoes for most meals. I would steal bits from the chopping board and yes.. eat the potato raw. Weird? Probably! Anyway, this recipe has shown me the light of…

This side dish is a fantastic alternative to rice or pasta for dishes. You can add additional garlic or spices to taste also. I add in Red Kidney Beans just to get more more low energy carbs and protein into my meals. You don’t taste them and they do add some colour! You can also…

This stew really is comfort food for winter. It has flavour, it has heartiness and it’s just yummy to the max. It’s versatile to match up with other side dishes and salads also. This one does take a bit longer to make so I would TOTALLY recommend making the Epic Roasted Veges at the same…

Curry is actually quick and easy to make – when you know how of course! When you get your mad skills on point, you can have this one made in about 10 minutes flat! You can make it as hot or as mild as you like and if you are having it inside your metabolic…

Slow cookery goodness! This recipe is so easy to put together and it tastes so hearty. You can add extra veges if you like just be mindful of how much space your slow cooker has! 🙂

Casseroles are ever so simple to make and we like simple. We’ve got enough going on in our everyday lives so having a yummy and nutritious meal that we can prepare is definitely a must! This is one of those recipes where having a slow cooker is AWESOME. Spend 10 minutes getting your ingredients prepped…

The secret to this is the silicone tray which is not only non-stick, (when the minini-quiches cool down and shrink a little they lift straight out) but it doesn’t need any oil, and is super easy to clean. Before getting ready for work in the morning, preheat the oven to 200 deg celsius and prep…

Stir-fries are all kinds of awesome. They are flavoursome and you can mix and match the contents to suit your tastes. This one is healthy and full of flavour. Want to enjoy this one outside the window? Ditch the noodles!

Rissoles are a nice easy meal to make. Yummy and quick. We like that. These ones have a slight south east Asian flavour to them and are great to mix in with various other veges to go on the side. If you are eating these inside your window.. add a high energy carbohydrate on the…

Rissoles are so easy to make and given that Turkey Mince is quite cheap.. they are economical oh and very yummy indeed! Combined with a salad, these rissoles are perfect for a summer evening and are a go to meal for eating outside your metabolic window. If you are looking to have these inside your…

There’s nothing like walking into a kitchen where you can smell the deliciousness of what you’re cooking. Pumpkin is just one of those foods that likes to tease you when it’s almost ready! Now this particular recipe is sparse on the ingredients but plentiful in taste. There are other veges you can add to this…

There’s a reason as to why I have a soft spot for south east Asian dishes. Quick. Easy. Delicious. So full of flavour and they are also great to have a left overs for the proceeding days!

You know those meals where they taste sooo soo good and you just LOVE when they are on the dinner agenda? This is one of them. So healthy and so easy to make! These can be made with both the inside and outside window in mind. If eating inside the window, use the tortillas and…
