I don’t think I’ve ever seen a baked treat go by so many names as the humble Caramel Slice.

I love Mexican food, so it’s no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired. This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own. The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour. It’s on the table in 15 minutes. Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook....

Savoury Mince is a classic Australian family dinner favourite. It’s one of those dishes that can be made very easily out of budget-friendly pantry staples, which probably explains why so many of us grew up eating it. Browned beef mince (ground beef), carrot, celery, potato and peas are simmered in a rich gravy that gives it so much flavour! One of the best parts of savoury mince is how versatile it is....

Save yourself the hassle of rolling out balls of mixture into biscuits and instead pour it into a slice pan, press down and bake. Simple! One thing I love about this slice is you can cut it into smaller squares to make it go further....

I remember the first time I ate steel-cut oats. I was at a breakfast restaurant in Boston and they charged me $8.50 for a plain old bowl of oats. $8.50!! Needless to say, I don’t order oatmeal at restaurants anymore. But lucky for me they are super cheap and easy to make at home. These Banana Steel Cut Oats are my go-to when the first signs of winter hit and all I want to do is snuggle up with a warming bowl each morning....
These crispy roast potatoes with rosemary are a classic side dish for a Sunday roast or for special lunches or dinners over the holiday season. I love to serve them alongside my Roast Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary. This foolproof recipe is so simple but it does require two steps - first parboiling the potatoes, then roasting in a hot pan. I initially tried to resist the parboiling step. For years I’d seen chefs on my favourite cooking shows recommending to go the extra effort but I often wondered if it would actually make all that much difference and I certainly didn’t want yet another thing to wash up!...
If there’s one recipe on the blog that I’ve made the most, it’s these healthy chicken tacos. I make them at least once a week, sometimes twice. They are a weeknight wonder - ready in just 25 minutes and completely stress free. When I first posted this recipe back in January 2018 I would make them on the stovetop. These days I make them in the oven. Both ways work just fine, but I find oven baking the easier of the two given it makes it a one-pan dish and is less hands-on....
Chewy Apricot Muesli Bars remind me of my childhood. A very popular brand in Australia (you can probably guess who) had a muesli bar of the same name and I had one in my school lunch everyday. So when I was trying to decide what flavour to make these muesli bars it really was a no brainer! I couldn’t wait to try and recreate it. These bars are perfect for a lunchbox filler, especially if you’re worried about how much sugar is in traditional muesli bars....
I was all about breakfast sides during my Whole30. Like my crispy breakfast potatoes, which got me through the mornings where I just couldn’t face one more egg! But I did face that egg, because I got to enjoy it with some damn potatoes! And these sautéed green beans with mushrooms and onions - they were usually right there beside the potatoes. I remember seeing a photo of beans and mushrooms together somewhere awhile back and thinking DAMN what an unbeatable combination....
Bananas are the perfect snack on their own - they’re cheap, come in their own packaging (a.k.a peel) and they’re healthy. But they aren’t the most reliable, especially when they seem to go from green to brown in a blink of an eye. If you’re anything like me, you have a few overripe, brown bananas sitting on the kitchen bench at the end of every week. Over the years I’ve found quite a few easy ways to use these bananas up and ensure nothing goes to waste....
I absolutely can’t control myself when cinnamon sugar is involved so naturally these puff pastry cinnamon rolls never last very long in our house. They are adapted from my quick and easy cinnamon scrolls recipe, but instead of using yoghurt dough I use frozen puff pastry. These mini cinnamon swirls come together very quickly and can be baked in either the oven or the air fryer. You can serve them as is, or with the optional (but irresistible) vanilla glaze drizzled on top....
This salad was a total fluke. I became obsessed with putting roast pumpkin in salads after creating my Pumpkin, Haloumi & Avocado Salad, but wanted to branch out and try some new flavours. I also had an unopened pack of quinoa that I’d been promising myself I’d experiment with and some unused feta cheese from my Greek Salad so I thought I’d try my hand at mixing them all together....
This Roasted Cauliflower Soup is a spin off of my Cauliflower and Bacon Soup. The truth is, I almost always have a head or two of cauliflower wilting away at the back of the fridge. But I rarely have bacon. Thus, the Roasted Cauliflower Soup was born. Cauliflower on its own is a bit meh, but roasting it brings out a lovely caramelisation and this adds more depth of flavour....
