I’ve been seriously time poor lately. I started a new job back in February and after almost 8 years in my previous position, starting in a new role that is extremely demanding has taken up all of my time and brain space. Dealing with a serious health crisis on top of that has been a [...]

by Erin B on October 27, 2012

As the weeks fly by at an alarming rate I can hardly believe that we are back to hayfever, spring planting and warm days with cool nights so soon. It seems as though it was only yesterday that I was lamenting the loss of my last tomato crop and yet here I am planting out all [...]

Curried Carrot & Lentil Soup with Haloumi Croutons

July 12, 2011

Lemony Pumpkin and Haloumi pasta

June 16, 2011

Recently, I made the decision to stop eating meat. Although we already ate a lot of vegetarian and vegan food, on average we ate meat at least 2-3 times a week.
