double chocolate muffins {gluten-free + vegan} + a cookbook giveaway!
I’ve been a little bit of a cookbook fiend lately. It all started when I brought myself a few new ones for my birthday, then I received The Sprouted Kitchen from my best friend back home in New Zealand, a lovely little surprise found on the doorstep one afternoon early last week. And lastly I recently received […]
strawberry almond cakes recipe {gluten + dairy-free}
So spring has well and truly arrived here in Perth. The weathers been as fickle as ever, 12C degrees one day, 29C the next! Everyone always seems to wax lyrical about autumn (fall) and I get it I really do… but spring, spring is my most favourite season of all. New life is starting up […]

beetroot + orange salad with honey mustard miso dressing

I really do have to find myself […]
chickpea and leek soup recipe
I’m feeling way better than I did a few days ago. I’ve been drinking loads of my lemon rosemary tea and clearing my sinuses with this, but Si’s still been complaining that I’m keeping him awake with my constant dry cough all night long. I’ve been so tired it hasn’t even been waking me up, but […]
