Apparently it’s snow season now? What a cold snap it’s been and the kind of weather that’s had me being the opposite of sociable. This week I’ve watched the Mrs Wilson miniseries and most of Chernobyl so have clearly been being a social butterfly… hmmm.
I made these tacos as part of a Sunday lunch for some wonderful women. We followed them with the eggplant curry from earlier in the week and then brown butter tahini chocolate chip cookie cups (from I will not eat Oysters my favourite blog for cookie recipes!) topped with vanilla ice cream. It was a feast and exactly what Sunday lunch with your friends should be.
This is a a rich tomato based curry full of vegetables and flavour. I kind of think about as the curry version of my slow cooked eggplant pasta sauce… so you know it’s good!
I’m not going to do that thing when every time there’s a nice day in winter you start stressing about global warming… but man was it warm in Melbourne this week! The chilly nights however had me craving pies and curries and all things cosy.
Let’s not pretend pie is a health food. But this blog is meant to be about me hunting for a healthier approach to life, for me part of that is not being on a diet and eating pie sometimes. And this is an incredible one.
This is not the happiest of Sundays in Melbourne. I live in a bubble in the inner North of Melbourne where the majority of people care about the same things I do: taking care of each other, the well-being of those less fortunate and our planet.
Making you’re own chocolate is actually super easy and with cocoa butter you get a super smooth texture and loads of chocolate flavour.
These are massively tacos in a lettuce cup, or Mexican San choy bau! Either way they’re super delicious and the cool crisp lettuce is the perfect foil to the spicy chicken mix.
This week I’ve got loads of yummy things for you! Still trying to keep some cross over flavours to cut down on waste. Plus there’s soups, pasta and a super easy flatbread in the mix for you.
I’m always after a heartier salad in the cooler weather, one with warm and filling things yet still full of fresh flavours and this salad really hits the mark.
