I struggled to name this post. Turns out chicken gyros (pronounced YEE-ros) go by many names. First - is it gyro or gyros? Gyro, as I have since learnt, is one pita wrap. Gyros is multiple. This recipe is for 4 so gyros it is. Then there’s the more complicated matter - it’s sometimes spelt ‘yiros’. Oh Greek food - how you constantly keep me on my toes with your different spellings....
Earlier this week I posted about How to Make Oatmeal, and while both stovetop and microwave versions are easy, these Overnight Oats are by far the simplest way to make oatmeal. Overnight Oats are a healthy breakfast option that you can enjoy at home or on the go. All you need is 5 minutes to quickly mix all the ingredients together and store in a jar in the fridge overnight....

These no yeast homemade cinnamon rolls are the perfect sweet treat that are ready in under 30 minutes. Yes, you read that right. You see, these sticky and gooey cinnamon buns are made from two ingredient dough (flour & Greek yoghurt). No yeast is required and you don’t need to worry about proofing time. It’s magic! Now can I admit something a little controversial here? Cinnabon is too much for me....
If you love veggie fritters you’ve got to try these pea and feta fritters. The combination of frozen peas, grated zucchini and salty and creamy feta cheese brings so much flavour to these fritters. They are crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. I love to eat them immediately once they come out of the pan when the cheese is melty and the corners of the fritters are crunchy!...
This Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup is so simple - and I LOVE simple. Seriously, whenever I see a recipe with 10+ ingredients and a huge list of instructions my eyes start to glaze over. Gimme simple and delicious EVERY DAY. This soup came about when I had very little food in the house and was desperate to not have to go to the grocery store. I always seem to have plenty of sweet potatoes, carrots, onions and stock in my house, so I decided to make a new spin on my Roasted Pumpkin Soup....
Next time the occasion calls for cake (that’s every occasion, right?!), make these White Chocolate Mud Cupcakes. These irresistibly soft and moist cakes are topped with a creamy and decadent white chocolate buttercream frosting that takes them to the next level! White chocolate tends to be overshadowed by milk and dark chocolate most of the time in baking, but it really shines in these cupcakes. They’re the perfect treat when you’re looking for something impressive that doesn’t take hours and hours to make!...
Bananas ripen at a rapid pace and have quite a short shelf-life compared to other fruits. While there may only be a short window to enjoy them by themselves, a world of possibilities opens up once bananas start to turn brown. Many baked goods taste their best with the addition of a spotty bananas or two. Or you can learn how to freeze bananas and turn frozen banana into smoothies, nice cream and popsicles....
Looking for a delicious cafe-style breakfast at home? Try these crispy breakfast potatoes! These potatoes are roasted to perfection in the air fryer in 20 minutes (or less).

When it comes to crowd pleasers, the humble zucchini slice has stood the test of time. A quintessential “Aussie” cuisine, you can generally find the slice packed in school lunch boxes, or served at parties alongside cheerios (not cereal - cocktail frankfurts) and fairy bread (white sliced bread covered in butter then sprinkles). Kids love it. Adults love it. People who swear they’d never touch zucchini with a ten foot pole love it....
When I hit publish last week on this How to Make Oatmeal post I had several requests for the recipe for the Stewed Cinnamon Apples I had as a topping in one of my photos. So here I am, keeping good on my promise to deliver this recipe ASAP! But don’t think these apples are only good as a topping for oats. You can serve stewed apples hot or cold as a breakfast or dessert....

If you’ve never made your own granola you’re in for a treat with this Honey Almond Granola! It’s ridiculous how easy it is to make and how much better it tastes than the store bought kind. It’s also much better for you, especially when store bought granola is notorious for being loaded with sugar. This granola is naturally sweetened with a couple of tablespoons of honey, which can easily be subbed for maple syrup or rice malt syrup if you’d prefer....
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s officially less than a month until Christmas so it’s completely acceptable to bring out the Christmas recipes and I’m kicking it off with these Oreo Cheesecake Balls. Oreo balls, or oreo truffles as they are also known, have been around for years but I still find people who are yet to try them. And boy are you in for a treat if you haven’t!...
I have a reputation for “quick and easy” recipes but I occasionally make an exception in terms of the “quick” part. This Shredded Mexican Beef is one of those exceptions. While it’s still very simple to prepare, it does take a few hours to slow cook to tender perfection in the oven. The hands-on time is very minimal, but this recipe is certainly not one of my weeknight wonders! This is the recipe you’ll want to pull out for a Mexican themed dinner party, or even meal prep on a lazy Sunday to enjoy in meals throughout the week....
Spicy Mayonnaise is my all-time favourite dipping sauce. And while this is one of those “not so much a recipe” recipe, I wanted to share it anyway because I actually use it with a lot of my recipes. The best part about this mayonnaise is that you can either make your own homemade immersion blender mayo or a store bought mayo. Either works just fine! I prefer to make small batches fresh when I’m planning to eat it rather than make a whole jar that may go to waste in a weeks time....
