Mini spinach and feta frittatas
People, these little frittatas are a miracle in egg form. They are SO GOOD. You know I love a recipe when I feel the need to make it again immediately when I’m not even done eating the first batch. I don’t normally crave anything that is not chocolate after about 10 pm, but I … Continue reading
Chocolate mousse
When I had friends over the other week, I wanted to make an elegant looking dessert that was a change from my normal cookie/brownie routine, so I was delighted to find this recipe. It is seriously ridiculously easy to make (you just need to make sure you have an electric mixer), requires only 4 ingredients … Continue reading
Asian fusion at Coda
I was fortunate enough to get to travel to our Melbourne office for a couple weeks in a row for work. I love Melbourne for a lot of reasons, one of the main ones being its incredible restaurant scene. I was so excited to get try out Coda, a restaurant I’d wanted to try the … Continue reading
Spinach gnocchi
When I saw the recipe for tomato basil sauce, I knew I wanted to make a pasta to go along with it, but I sadly don’t have a pasta maker, so my mind went immediately to gnocchi. Gnocchi starts from a mashed potato base and is incredibly easy to make. There are all sorts of … Continue reading
Tomato basil sauce
It’s been too long since I last posted, but it just didn’t seem right to be posting random recipes about food and my normal little life over here when such utter tragedy was taking place in my beautiful former hometown Boston this past week. Now that the scariest part (hopefully) is over, I breathed a … Continue reading
Chickpea bulgur tomato soup
I realise it’s getting warmer in America, but it’s getting colder in Australia and thus I am craving soup more often. In addition to tasting great in many applications, chickpeas are also a fantastic add to a soup. This soup is rich and filling while remaining incredibly healthy. It would be great with a side … Continue reading
M and M bars
Ok, I admit it – I have been in a bit of a baking rut recently. I haven’t wanted to try out too many new fancy recipes because I’ve been cooped up in my apartment for the past several weeks studying to take the GMAT. Now that that’s over though, I am ready to get … Continue reading
Dinner at Sake
It’s been a while since I’ve had a fantastic meal out in Sydney, so this blog is way overdue for a restaurant post. I’ve the pleasure recently of meeting some fantastic females outside of work and there is definitely no better way to celebrate new friendships than by going out to fun meals. Sake is a … Continue reading
Warm quinoa veggie salad
As I’ve said before, I’m always looking for new variations on quinoa dishes because even though quinoa with various roasted vegetables is great, sometimes it’s nice to change it up a bit. I loved those quinoa meatballs but they lacked a real hit of veggies, so when I stumbled on this recipe via my usual … Continue reading
Chickpea and leek soup with roasted zucchini
Yes, here are more recipes using chickpeas. But they are really different from the ones I’ve already posted and especially delicious for the still cold weather in America and the gradually getting chillier weather in Australia (aka, 20 C / 65 F). The soup is like a chowder with no cream whatsoever and is really … Continue reading
