I'm back! And you know I'm back from my super-sunny Queensland trip when pretty much the first thing I do is put a second jumper on. I loved how awed everyone was when they wandered around Noosa beach on the first day of winter with the sun shining and them regretting their choice of jeans. But it was also pretty fun to come home to a brisk … [Read more...]
When I saw Aldi were selling little sprouters for $5, I thought it was high time I delved into the world of sprouting. I think I grew sprouts as a kid with a jar and some cheesecloth, but I've never tried sprouting anything else. I wasn't entirely convinced it was necessary, and it looked a bit too fiddly. Well I still mostly feel that way, but … [Read more...]
Congratulations Brigette, Sonia, and Kym. the hairspray! haha! It's a little bit fun to find Aussie peeps creating new products and turning dreams into reality. It's even more fun to find that they're creating products that are eco-friendly and socially conscious.

Made only from cacao solids, virgin cacao butter, dark agave nectar, raw cacao powder, virgin … [Read more...]
I am obsessed with Thug Kitchen. For the uninitiated, it is a vegan tumblr that talks about not eating overly-processed crap and gives recipes and tips for eating healthy, veggie-packed food. Only it is doing it with a bucketload of attitude and extreme swears. I cannot get enough. It has only been around since late last year, but it has … [Read more...]
Oh yeah, and vegan. Lately I've been going back through all my old favourites and my mind has been boggling at what refined crap I used to eat like it ain't no thang. Well, ever since I had babies and they started to eat the food I made, I wanted to do better by them. I was afraid of baking with wholemeal flour because I thought it tasted weird, … [Read more...]
Ok now you'll just have to excuse Christie from Fig and Cherry for being better than me at Meatless Mondays - it's not her fault she's so awesome! And if you haven't checked out her blog, DO IT. She puts most food bloggers to shame with her incredible photography and fresh, seasonal cooking. I might have a little blog … [Read more...]
