This week I wanted to share my favourite party food ideas with you because it’s New Years Eve tomorrow and you should be celebrating! I’ve been super quiet on the blog for the last week and even on social media as I wanted to have some family time and just disconnect. And it’s been lovely.
Alexandra’s Thai Trifle AKA Thairifle
My beautiful friend Alex made this trifle for our annual Christmas get together last weekend and when I posted it on my stories I got so many requests for the recipe I had to share it. Alex said writing the recipe was harder than making it and after making it myself I’d have to agree – it looks way more intimidating than it is! Oh and it’s gluten free!
Meringue Wreath with Strawberry Cream
It’s almost Christmas so I could resist sharing some of my favourite holiday desserts with you! This very festive dessert has a base of light meringues and is topped with a strawberry ribboned cream, fresh berries and mint. It looks so pretty and festive and is easy to make… Mastering meringues is all about having the time to let them cool in your oven properly and the recipe I’m giving you is my mum’s, aren’t you lucky?
Meal Plans Week 96
This is the second to last meal plans post for the year! There won’t be one next Sunday as I just feel like you won’t need them in the Christmas rush so this week I’ll be including some tips and recipes that are ideal for using Christmas leftovers! Bookmark this post for the week after Christmas people!
A Healthy Hunter Christmas
It’s here! My Christmas menu! It’s ideal for when you’re feeding a whole bunch of different needs and al the recipes can easily be doubled etc to feed the amount of people you plan on having. it’s also totally aimed at a Sputhern hemisphere audience with lots of seafood options and salads in there too. I hope you love it. I’ll do a vegetarian menu next week too!
Snowpea, Feta, Almond and Asparagus Salad
This salad is so fresh and delicious. Dressed with a tasty lemon, feta and extra virgin olive oil dressing and filled with crunchy green vegetables it’s the perfect pretty addition to your Christmas table!
Meal Plans Week 95
Summer has arrived with a vengeance in Melbourne and after sweltering through a 38 degree (celsius!) day all I wanna do is eat salad, fruit and ice cream. And drink tinto de verano in the sun. All of that can’t be a daily occurrence but I can totally try.
Herb Crusted Salmon with a Shaved Asparagus, Fennel and Broad Bean Salad
I first made this dish with my beautiful friend Rachel in Auckland and have spent the last month thinking about it because it was just so delicious. The fresh salad and herb crusted salmon is just the most amazing combination. I’ve used fresh bread crumbs n the salmon crust but you could easily swap for almonds to make it gluten free!
Gem Lettuce, Dill Cashew Cheese, Parmesan
These lettuce cups willed with a quick homemade cashew cheese are the most delightful snack, starter or canape. You can leave the parmesan off and add nutritional yeast to make them vegan but as a vegetarian option with a snowy covering of parmesan at the end they’re incredible. Add to your Chistmas menu immediately.
Meal Plans Week 94
Another busy week and some very late meal plans! But better late than never right? I think I’ve said that way too many times this week. I need to re learn the art of saying no and stop trying to fit so many things in each day/week. Anybody else have this issue at this time of year?
