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 [...]

Aussie Mushroom Burgers

by Erin B on January 14, 2013

Australia Day is fast approaching and I can hardly believe we are halfway through January already. As many of us make our way back to work (myself included) our minds understandably turn to the summer that was. I don’t know about you guys, but knowing that there is a public holiday right around the corner [...]

Wicking Bed Update and an In Bed Worm Tower

Tomato plant by she cooks, she gardens

by Erin B on November 16, 2012

Business in the wicking bed is churning along mighty nicely at the moment, the tomato plants are at that stage where they appear to be shooting up every other day and the zucchini at the end of the row is laden with fruit and flowers. Watering has been an absolute dream this year and I [...]

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 [...]

Monday Night Tempeh Tagine

February 27, 2012

We’ve had a bit of a tough month; work pressures are building up again, we’ve been battling sickness and just generally feeling like there’s not enough time to do anything properly. I think one of the hardest things to do when I’m starting to feel a bit flat is look after myself properly. All those [...]

Update from the Garden – Raised Bed Stage 3: Plants!

October 13, 2011

Hey Everyone, Well we’re at the second-best part of the raised bed building project – planting out (the best bit being the harvest!). As you saw in the last raised bed post, we created our own soil by building up layers of straw, compost and cow manure. I will continue to add to those layers [...]

Super Simple Butter Tomato Sauce

October 11, 2011

Hey Everyone, OK. So seasoned food bloggers, I apologise in advance for posting this one. I realise that for many of you this sauce is ‘sooo 2006‘ but for me, a noob on the food blogging scene, discovering this sauce the other day was kind of a big deal.

Sweet Potato Ravioli + Paul's perfect pizza sauce

April 28, 2011

This is a bit of a two for the price of one recipe today.  Having purchased a packet of wonton wrappers to make Pork and Chive Dumplings the other night, I needed to use up the remaining wrappers and decided to have a go at making some sweet potato ravioli/tortellini. I was a little unsure [...]

Fabulous slow-cooked "Spag Bog"

April 18, 2011

A deliciously healthy and hearty meal that needs to be cooked slowly to ensure a full release of flavour. Make up a batch and freeze some for those nights when you don’t have time to cook. I use extra lean mince for this bolognese to reduce the amount of fat. Not only is it kinder [...]
