I’m an avid snacker from way back. I’ve never been able to master getting all the way to my next meal without a little something to nosh on in between. And on those rare occasions that I do, I come down with a serious case of the hangries. As a result, I keep my house and my handbag well stocked with snack options. It’s just safer for everyone involved! A few years ago I discovered the wonder that is no bake snacks and I include at least one of these recipes in my meal prep each week....

Whether you’re wondering what to make with all those apples sitting at the bottom of the fridge, or you need an impressive dessert and don’t have time to hit the store - this Easy Apple Cake is here to save the day! Why you’ll love this recipe… Apple & Cinnamon - classic dessert pairing. Made from everyday ingredients - no weird purchases necessary. Effortlessly impressive - it’s so easy to make but looks fancy....

These healthy Pea & Sweet Corn Fritters are one of those special foods that can be enjoyed at any time of day! Serve them with a side of bacon for breakfast, alongside a salad for lunch or with some veggies for an easy dinner. You can also pop them in lunch boxes for the kids! They are made with a few pantry and freezer staples that are budget-friendly and easy to keep on hand....

Love quesadillas? You HAVE to try making them in the air fryer. The outer tortilla becomes perfectly crisp and the cheese melts perfectly every time. I generally “cheat” when it comes to making quesadillas and pop them in the sandwich press for a low effort dinner. But once I tried them in the air fryer there was no going back. It’s so much better! You can fill your air fryer quesadilla with whatever you please....

One of the things I was most intrigued to try cooking in the air fryer was a whole roast chicken. For years I’ve made a classic Roast Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary in the oven and I wondered how the air fryer version could possibly stack up. I’m happy to report that the air fryer did not disappoint. The chicken is so juicy and tender, and the skin is the crispiest I’ve ever tried....

Christmas Day might look a little bit different this year. Depending on when you are in the world you may be preparing for a much smaller gathering than usual, or avoiding travelling to see family. But just because you’re planning a quieter Christmas this year doesn’t mean it has to be any less special (or delicious!). I put together an easy menu, that will come together in a few hours with relatively little effort and fuss to give you that delicious traditional Christmas roast experience for two....

Looking for a simple appetizer to impress your guests? Try cucumber bites topped with guacamole! These cucumber canapés never last very long and no one minds that they’re healthy too! You don’t need to wait for your next party to try them though. I eat these cucumber bites a few times a week for a quick and easy snack. Cucumber rounds are lovely and crisp and the flavour complements guac so well....

This Vegetable Stir Fry with Noodles is my go-to easy dinner when I can’t be bothered making anything else. Which if I’m being honest is multiple times a week. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand which is great, and I’m always trying new combinations as I clear out my crisper through the week. I personally love to use ramen noodles for this, but you could use rice noodles just as easily....

There’s something special about a warm bowl of banana porridge on a cold winter morning. These creamy oats make a wonderfully healthy breakfast that tastes sinfully delicious. I’ve always loved the combination of banana and oats but I find my Banana Steel-Cut Oats are more suited for quiet weekend mornings when you can afford to spend longer in the kitchen. I wanted something that could be whipped up in under 10 minutes before work and that’s where this recipe comes in....

This cannellini bean soup is a much loved recipe in our family. It’s our default dinner whenever we have a bunch of random vegetables that need to be used up or after an overly indulgent weekend when our bodies are singing out for anything with nutrients. It’s been sitting at the very back of the blog archives since January 2017 and was one of the very first recipes I published....

Looking to start each day with a delicious and warming bowl of oatmeal? You’ve come to the right place! This is the only guide you’ll ever need to learn how to make oatmeal perfect every time. We eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every day in our house. It’s quick and easy to prepare, and it’s especially great on those cold winter mornings when you need a hot breakfast. Oats are also healthy and hearty, keeping you full for hours....

These pizza scrolls are so versatile! Make them for kids lunches when they are sick of soggy sandwiches. Keep them for an afternoon snack. Or make up a batch to share with guests as an appetiser. They’re made using the miracle two ingredient dough, so no yeast or proofing is required and they can be ready in under 30 minutes. These rolls are also fully customisable, so feel free to mix and match your favourite pizza toppings....

Split Pea Soup with Ham Bone (or hock) is a delicious and hearty winter soup. And it just so happens to be one of my favourites. I very rarely share the origins behind my recipes but this one is very special to me so humour me if you will. This recipe was inspired by a Pea and Ham Soup that my Nan makes three times a year (each night of a 3-part football series)....

These Air Fryer Apple Cinnamon Rolls are a culmination of so many of my favourite things. I mean, apple and cinnamon together is already a pretty unbeatable combination, but combine that with two ingredient dough and the air fryer and I’m hooked! No yeast or proofing is required for these apple cinnamon rolls. All you need is some greek yoghurt and self-raising flour and you’ll have the easiest (and tastiest) dough you’ll ever try....

Have some leftover corned beef you are looking to use up? Make these corned beef fritters! They make a deliciously easy weeknight dinner and are absolutely irresistible. The best part is you only need a few everyday ingredients to whip these up and they’ll be on the table in 30 minutes. Serve these fritters hot or cold - I actually LOVE to enjoy them cold with plenty of salt on top....

This week’s episode is for anyone who’s ever found themselves frustrated at having to make dinner night after night… ok yes that’s all of us! I chat with Kendra Adachi, the New York Times Bestselling author of The Lazy Genius Way and creator of The Lazy Genius Podcast. As a systems expert and professional permission giver, Kendra helps others stop doing it all for the sake of doing what matters....

Walking down a snack aisle in the grocery store elicits a lot of eye rolling and groaning from me. Just about every product that is touting itself as a healthy way to give you energy throughout the day is really filled to the brim with sugar and artificial ingredients. I’m all for a balanced diet but most of these snacks are just processed fake food. Luckily there’s a bunch of other options to keep as feeling satiated between meals… Nuts....

It’s my birthday tomorrow so I thought we’d have some fun on today’s post. Let’s talk about real life celebrity sightings or encounters! I have a few, and I can’t pick “the best one” so I’m going to tell you them all. 1) On our very first trip to New York we were on the same flight as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and stood next to him at the baggage carousel. OK - I had no idea who he was and Adam pointed him out....

Everything is better in mini form, right? Or is it that it’s an excuse to eat more! These mini vegetarian quiches are the perfect size for snacks or for serving as appetizers at your next party. Putting together these mini quiches couldn’t be easier and they’re made with frozen puff pastry to save time. They’re also a great way to sneak in some more veggies into your diet. I love to use a mix of red capsicum / bell pepper, mushrooms, corn and spinach but feel free to mix and match with your favourite veggies....

I know I don’t really have to do any real selling here. We all know what potato wedges are and we all LOVE them. They make a great side for just about anything or are delicious on their own served with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce (the Aussie way!). My version is lightly seasoned with paprika and garlic powder which gives great flavour. They are perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside - just like a good potato wedge should be!...
