I’ve never been mad about smoothies and protein shakes. There are many smoothie/shake/juice lovers out there, having one for breakfast every morning. I am not one of those – because it is a beverage. It’s definitely a psychological thing for me. I need eat food, to chew, in order for me to feel satisfied. You place all…

Happy Birthday Eat This My Friend! (plus Raw Lemon + Coconut Bars)
Well, I am super-dooper proud to announce that Eat This My friend is 1 year old today! I have been committed to writing, photographing and posting recipes, once a week, for a whole year. Hooray me! It has been a huge learning experience, with lots of favours and ongoing support from my family and friends….
Eat Your Greens on Pizza
I spent the weekend at my grandparents’ house. It had been over 2 years since I had been there. Not because I don’t love them, or they live interstate, life just seemed to get in the way. When I saw their faces, I was flooded by a wave of shame. I couldn’t believe I had…
Chocolate + Beetroot Cake
Social media was making me unhappy. I mean, I am not actually unhappy. Overall I think I am quite content – my family, friends, my home. My life. It has its ups and downs but it is generally pretty good. Yet sometimes I still feel that something is missing, somewhere between the heart and the belly button. I’ve really been…
Anzac Cookies for Clancy
My son, who would eat nothing but junk food if he were allowed to, gives me little reports on what his classmates have in their lunch boxes. Mum, such and such has Twisties and BBQ Shapes everyday. Person B never has any fresh fruit! Oh person C is very good, they always have carrots and corn,…
Tomato, Roast Capsicum + Quinoa Soup
Why did I decide to start a blog? Perhaps it is time to elaborate a little.. I used to co-own a little coffee shop with a talented (and highly motivated!) lady, my best friend, Kate Berry. It is a time in my life that I will forever look back on with pride and delight. It was an…
Somehow I Became Obsessed With Food
Food is an enormous part of my identity. In fact, if a friend was attempting to describe me to another, I am fairly certain it would be something along the lines of this: short girl, talks a lot, obsessed with food. Yep, that’s me. Surprisingly it has not always been this way. I mean, I have…
Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes
10 Reasons To Love Pancakes – 1. They are pretty much the fastest ‘treat’ you can whip up. 2. I always have the necessary ingredients in my fridge and pantry. 3. You can utilise whichever fruit you have in the fruit bowl. 4. If you have no fruit, you can use jam. 5. If you…
Rice Paper Rolls, Two Ways
I’ll be honest, Rice Paper Rolls are not usually part of my repertoire. I mean I love them, but I generally just buy them rather than make them at home (which, is pretty peculiar behaviour for me actually!). Unfortunately I am super fussy and cannot bring myself to even try the ones from the local suburban ‘Sushi’ shop….
Red Rice Salad with Apple, Walnuts + Boiled Eggs
The weather in Victoria has shifted, and in the most glorious way. Most days have some sunshine and the nights are crisp and cool. The oven is often on without fear of heating up house. New season apples are on display at the green grocer. How lovely is Autumn. This salad is pretty classic…
