3 Sliced Oranges + 3 Sliced Tomatoes = A Refreshing Sweet & Tangy Orange and Tomato Salad with No Salad Dressing required! We enjoyed the salad as a side to a rich (& yummy!) honey roasted chicken dish – balanced out the heaviness of the chicken dish perfectly. The kids don’t usually like tomato but […]

While living in the UK, I was introduced to “Sausage Cottage Pie” at my work canteen, well at least that’s what I call it. I make this from time to time and always reminisce about when I first came across this fun version of the classic Cottage Pie. Basically, you take your favorite Cottage Pie […]

March 28, 2012 by
It was my Wedding Anniversary a few days ago.

Simply follow your favorite pavlova recipe (it’s basically a mix of beaten egg whites, sugar, vinegar and a bit of cornflour), though I only use about a third to half the amount of sugar and it’s always sweet enough! I top […]
