My default is to buy way too many bananas. And they never really go bad, each stage has a specific purpose: yellow bananas are for eating fresh, medium speckled bananas are for the freezer, and black bananas are for cakes and pancakes. Now that its summer I am baking less and less. We don’t have…

Apple Slices with Cinnamon Almond Butter
As I have continually expressed, I have a long history of weird food behaviour and food obsessions. Yet there has never been an obsession greater than my affinity with peanut butter. There have many occasions where I have eaten half a jar, in some crazed frenzy, and thought well, that’s dinner taken care of. This behaviour is…
Raw Salted Caramel Fudge
Sometimes I feel I am a walking contradiction. A cacophony of opposing traits. A tiny ball of chaos that is obsessed with systems and order. Overflowing with love. Cries way too much. A pillar of strength, with the potential to crumble any second. Overly proud. Overly vulnerable. Filled with terror, yet as brave as can be. It’s very confusing.Tomorrow…
Cashew Maple Muesli Bars
Do you have certain songs that transport you to a particular time in your life? I do. I can listen to a song and instantly be hauled back to the past. But not just by way of memories, it’s much deeper than that. It’s as if the song pokes me hard in the heart with its index finger. And suddenly…
Apricot Coconut Bliss Balls
Well, here we are, the start of the new school year. I have mixed emotions about this, yet again. Although it is just a day, and my son is only one measly day older than yesterday, the start of a new grade signifies that my little baby is much further away from being a baby….
Spiced Vegetables and Buckwheat
I only recently got my driver’s licence. Just three months ago. For the last 34 years I had walked everywhere. Most people thought it was absolutely absurd, to be my age and not know how to drive. You see my mother doesn’t know how to drive so I was not raised with a car. We…
Stuffed Mushrooms with Ricotta + Chilli
I am the only one in the house who likes mushrooms. Today I found myself home alone for dinner, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. I made myself something I don’t get to eat very often. I grabbed a pile of large field mushrooms from the grocer, a tiny bird’s eye chill, and a wedge of…
Choc – Peanut Butter Shake
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….
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…
