Rosemary cherry tomato focaccia
When I have a dinner party or really party of any sort, it’s pretty much a guarantee that I will make bread if time possibly allows. As I said in my prior post about focaccia, this really is about the easiest type of yeast bread you can possibly make. It’s just not hard to do … Continue reading
Roasted cauliflower, broccoli, and chickpea salad
If a dinner party ends with a dark chocolate pretzel tart, it had better have a healthy element in the middle. Enter this glorious salad. This is not your typical salad – as a matter of fact, I used barely any actual lettuce leaves in it, just adding them as a finishing touch of sorts. … Continue reading
Quinoa, kale, and broccoli bowl
Are you ready to consume multiple superfoods in the same bowl? Then make some space in your life for this incredibly nutritious and delicious dish. I actually have had trouble finding kale in Australia, but it can occasionally be found at organic food sections of various groceries. The last time I saw it, I snatched … Continue reading
Quinoa quiche
Aside from the fact that this dish is great to say, it combines two of my favourite things and makes it really healthy. I love quiches, but normally their buttery crusts and massive amount of cream sort of turn me away from them (unless I’m in France, of course, in which case I would eat … Continue reading
Black bean chili
I haven’t made chili in ages, and typically don’t make warm things unless it’s cold out, but when it was raining non-stop a few weeks ago I got a sudden urge to make this black bean chili. It looked super healthy and I couldn’t wait to try it out. Imagine my utter dismay when I … Continue reading
Sweet potato scones
Sweet potatoes – another one of my absolute favourite foods. In America, we are all about sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving, but I think they should be enjoyed at all times of year. As scone recipes go, this one is pretty healthy, actually – no cream, low fat milk, and of course adding sweet potatoes to … Continue reading
Cornbread cranberry stuffing
So for this past Christmas, I was determined to go all American since I hadn’t gotten to do Thanksgiving. This meant turkey, cornbread, stuffing, and cranberry sauce for Christmas dinner. Imagine my utter horror when try as I might, I could not find frozen cranberries (and certainly not fresh) at ANY grocery stores in Sydney. … Continue reading
Cornbread
So the holiday season may be over but I’m not done sharing holiday recipes with you yet, because I firmly believe certain foods shouldn’t just be enjoyed over the holidays. One such food is cornbread. In America we typically associate it with Thanksgiving, and in Australia I doubt it’s associated with anything at all. Anyway, … Continue reading
Chili lime tofu
So, to continue on my healthy food kick, I now would like to raise another controversial topic: tofu. I know many people are haters, but I honestly love tofu mainly because of this recipe. I also am obviously super into Asian food and I think any Thai/Vietnamese/Chinese dish with tofu is almost always delicious. The … Continue reading
Vegetable tian
Happy New Year from Australia! Most people at the beginning of January are thinking about how to make healthy resolutions, so here is a great vegetarian dinner recipe that looks a bit fancier than just eating some steamed or roasted vegetables. It’s a great recipe for cold winter months especially, although I did just make … Continue reading
