Sprouted quinoa porridge with blackcurrant compote
Just when I was starting to think this whole NZ winter thing wasn’t so bad, it got cold. Bloody cold. This morning as I walked down the stairs to the car it was a icy 2C (35F). I had mentally prepared myself for the bitter cold memories I have of this time of year (knowing […]
Turmeric + kawakawa chai {vegan} + links

After recovering from a flu that knocked our […]
Raspberry + Coconut Dark Chocolate Cups
So, we’ve been home 3 weeks today. I’ve written this blog post over and over in my mind since the very moment we stepped foot off that plane. But now that I’m finally sitting down to write, I don’t really know where to begin. So many people have asked us why we moved back to […]
