These Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas are 100% snack goals! Crunchy and spiced to perfection, you’ll love just how easy these are to throw together. I’ve made roasted chickpeas in the oven many times but I always found that the result was never quite what I was hoping. That all changed with the air fryer. My chickpeas are now super crispy every time! While I do love eating these roasted chickpeas as snacks on their own I also use them as toppers for salads and soups for extra crunch....

There’s nothing quite as versatile as a good impossible quiche. You can eat it at any time of the day, by itself or with some easy sides. It stores well in the fridge for a few days and can be frozen for later if you can’t eat it all that quickly. I’ve purposely kept this crustless quiche bare bones - just ham and cheese. You can, of course, add in some veggies or mix it up with some bacon....

Forget those weird microwave popcorn packets once and for all and make this Cinnamon Sugar Popcorn from scratch for your next movie night. I’ve made stovetop popcorn for years now but lately I’ve been experimenting with some new flavour combinations. I adore this sweet and salty popcorn. But I have to say this new cinnamon sugar flavour is my new favourite! It reminds me of fresh cinnamon sugar donuts and cooking this popcorn will make your house smell divine!...

When you’re next in need of some serious comfort food you simply must try this Creamy Vegetable Pasta Bake. Loaded with veggies, cheese and topped with a parmesan breadcrumb topping, you’ll be wanting to go back for seconds and thirds! This vegetarian pasta bake is great for Meatless Monday or when you just need a good fix of cheesy carb-filled deliciousness. And since there’s vegetables hidden in there you can feel good the whole thing 🙂 I like the combination of cauliflower and mushrooms in this but feel free to play around with your favourite veggies....

If you’re looking for a delicious way to use that block of tofu in the fridge you’ve come to the right place! This pan-fried crispy salt and pepper tofu is irresistible and you’ll only need a few simple ingredients. You can eat these crunchy tofu bites as a snack, an appetiser or even pop it alongside some veggies and rice for a simple yet scrumptious dinner. This recipe is a spin on the classic Chinese dish, and whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan or just trying to eat more plant-based meals, you’ll love it!...

Whether you are following a Whole30 or Paleo diet or you just want a deliciously healthy breakfast recipe, these Gluten-Free Zucchini Fritters are for you. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - just how a good fritter should be. I’ve categorised these as a breakfast food but you could go right ahead and enjoy them any old time of day. You want to take them to work for lunch with a side salad?...

It’s been awhile since I posted a snack recipe. I love a quick and easy dinner as much as the next person but snacks are really where it’s at for me. Snacks are one of my biggest hobbies. Eating them, not making them. I, of course, make them too. But the real joy comes from having a fridge full of delicious snacks I can grab whenever hunger strikes. Which, if you’re me, is pretty much always....

It’s officially summer here in Australia and I’m ready for all the smoothies! Whilst I love drinking a smoothie during the day as a bit of a pick-me-up, there’s something about “drinking” a smoothie for breakfast that leaves me rather unsatisfied. I think it’s because my brain wants “food” and doesn’t classify a drink as a satisfying meal. There’s two ways to counteract this - drink my smoothie and eat a little something extra (hard boiled eggs or a piece of toast), or turn my smoothie into a smoothie bowl....

Say no to soggy toast and cold coffee in bed and spoil your mum this mother’s day with a delicious cafe-style breakfast at home. Choose from a selection of sweet and savoury recipes that are all easy to prepare and made from everyday ingredients. Now that you’ve had a chance to scroll through this mouth-watering list of sweet and savoury brunch dishes - what will you be making for mum this Mother’s Day?...

I find most recipes these days are focused around the trend of fast cooking. We want recipes that can be pumped out in 5 seconds flat and preferably made faster with an Instant Pot. But there is value in traditional cooking methods, and they certainly have their time and place. This Beef and Vegetable Stew is quick to prep, but it does require a slow roast in the oven for 3 hours....

Golden Syrup Dumplings are a classic Australian dessert. If you haven’t been lucky enough to try it before here’s what you’re looking at - balls of dough baked in a thick and bubbly syrup sauce until they transform into sweet dumplings with caramelised edges. It’s best served hot out of the oven with some vanilla ice cream or cream on top. My sister has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember and it’s always a hit....

I recently added a recipe for Air Fryer Roasted Almonds to the blog that people went nuts for (pun intended). Since not everyone has an air fryer, I thought I’d better hurry up and add an oven roasted almonds recipe on here too. I must admit I always used to buy roasted almonds from the supermarket but after making my own I realised just how much better they are fresh!...

Making homemade balsamic glaze is so easy! All you need is some balsamic vinegar and 15 minutes and you’ll have a rich, tangy and flavourful sauce that can be used in so many ways. I’ll admit that I only learnt how to make my own balsamic glaze so I could use it for bruschetta, but the possibilities don’t end there. Drizzle your glaze over a simple tomato salad, on top of grilled chicken or over a bowl of berries and ice-cream!...

Starting to think about your Christmas menu this year and looking for something new to try? I’ve put together 30 delicious side dishes from around the internet that will take your Christmas lunch or dinner to the next level this year. Let’s face it, side dishes take up the majority of space on your plate on Christmas day so we want them to be delicious and worthy of our Christmas table (and stomach space)....

We all agree the best part about going to the movies in the popcorn, right? But you don’t have to go to the cinema to get delicious popcorn. You can make it at home too! Today I’m going to teach you how to make stovetop popcorn. Making it on the stove is my personal favourite method - it’s quick, easy, cheap and you don’t need any special equipment. If you’ve got a stovetop and a saucepan with a lid, you can make popcorn!...

Mango Pineapple Popsicles are the ultimate healthy frozen treat you need this summer! These creamy and tropical popsicles are the perfect balance of sweet and sour and you’ll love to refreshing tang. Putting these together is as easy as blending, pouring and freezing! I find the natural sweetness from the mango gives these popsicles enough of a sweet boost, but if you give the mixture a taste and decide it isn’t sweet enough just add in a little honey and blend again....

A Greek feast isn’t complete without without Lemon Potatoes as far as I’m concerned! I recipe tested these lemon potatoes like you wouldn’t believe. I adjusted the oil several times, tried different coating on the potatoes to make them extra crunchy and tested both minced garlic and garlic powder in seperate batches. What I’m saying is when it comes to giving you the best recipes, I make sure I do my due diligence....

Every year when the weather starts to cool I find myself craving a bowl of classic creamy pumpkin soup. Crusty bread on the side for dunking is absolutely mandatory. This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Soup right here is so incredibly easy - you just set and forget until it’s time to serve! Your choice for how long you set it for - 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high....

This Spinach and Feta Gozleme is my spin on the classic Turkish favourite. I make mine with two ingredient dough (Greek yoghurt and flour) which is not traditional, but just another fun way I’ve found to use this magic dough. There’s so much to love about these crispy golden flatbreads, but I particularly love how quickly they come together and how deliciously cheesy they are inside. Gozleme is a Turkish flatbread that is folded and filled with either savoury or sweet fillings....

Love chocolate mousse? You simply have to try this 2 ingredient chocolate mousse! I like to call it my “cheats mousse”. All you need is some cream and chocolate and within minutes you’ll have a deliciously smooth and fluffy mousse that tastes just like the real deal! There’s no egg which is wonderful for those with egg intolerances, pregnant women or anyone who doesn’t love the sound of raw egg in a dessert....
