Gluten-free Holiday Cookie recipes
Chocolate-filled baby hazelnut cookies (gluten + dairy-free) Try as I might, pulling together a new recipe for a post this past month was just not ever going to happen. Between final book edits, dance rehearsals, end of year school trips and packing up our ENTIRE LIFE to ship home to NZ (in just over two […]
Orange + rosemary popsicles
My niece and nephew mentioned more than once how nice it would be to use up some of the oranges we had laying around to make ice blocks (the NZ term for popsicle/icy-pole) when they were visiting these past few weeks. Everyday I looked at them and briefly thought about following through on their requests, […]
Black bean tacos with kiwifruit salsa
You know the old saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, well my mum (ever the rule-breaker or should I say trail-blazer!) likes to put her own spin on things and instead say’s ‘a kiwifruit a day keeps the doctor away’. Clever mum that one, as kiwifruit are one of the most nutrient […]

Growing up we had loads of fruit trees on our property; feijoas, tamarillos, grapefruit, lemons and more. If you ventured right down the very bottom of the hill and looked to the left, you’d also spot a bunch of kiwifruit vines, growing over the timber frames my Dad built. Come winter, we’d have kiwifruit coming […]

Anything to avoid the meltdowns that come with children right? Eggs are my go-to dinner ingredient when I’m pressed for time and frittata makes a nice […]
Gluten + dairy-free spiced pear and almond cake recipe
Five years ago today, I posted my very first blog post. We were living back home in Raglan, NZ in our little house in the trees. My baby girl was turning 4 on the same day (she’s 9 today, far out!) and I thought it was as good a time to start a project as […]
