GOOD FOOD, GOOD NUTRITION, GOOD EATING, GREAT LIFE.
SUNFLOWER BUTTER©2013 Foxy Food With school being nut free and our love for an easy, quick sandwich spread that not only has flavour but some nutritional benefit, we have previously bought the sunflower butter from the supermarket. I must say, I don’t like it, the girls do but I also don’t see why it needs … Read moreSunflower Butter
Greek Almond Crescents “Coffee?” “Mm, yes, please, but I feel like a shortbread too.” “Greek shortbread?” Ooh, Belinda goes looking for one of her biscuit cookbooks she knows has something similar. So, the coffee was made but we had to wait for some biscuits to drink it!! These were so simple and while Sophie doesn’t … Read moreGreek Almond Crescents
Slow Cooked Lamb Curry This week hasn’t gone according to plan with the two girls and now Greg, sick. It appears to be influenza or one mighty, nasty virus (thankfully the tests for whooping cough and mycoplasma pneumonia came back negative), so all activities and school have been cancelled so far this week. With the … Read moreSlow Cooked Lamb Curry
I’ve just finished my packet of baking powder. This is good one one hand (means I’ve been baking – I’ve been experimenting with biscuits with varying degrees of success) not so good on the other (I want to bake but don’t want to go and buy any!) So, what can I do? Simple! I have some … Read moreBaking Powder
One of the reasons we got a Thermomix was to make nut milks. With cow dairy an issue here, it’s nice to have a variation on goat milk from time to time. The Thermomix is very powerful and grinds the nuts and dates easily. Once it has been strained (I use some fine muslin I … Read moreAlmond Milk
Spiced Biscuits We were running low on food in the house and Mum was calling in for a cup of tea. Time to make some biscuits! With limited staples in the pantry, I think these turned out really well and will become a regular I think! The spices can be adjusted to taste, the pattern … Read moreSpiced Biscuits
Wow, been a while between posts! Missed all the Christmas cooking and Amy’s birthday. Never mind, got lots to catch up on then! I’m not going to stress too much this year, as one of my New Year resolutions, I am going to be kind to myself! I am not going to feel guilty about … Read morePea and Ham Soup
Creamy Butter Bean Pasta I subscribe to Sanitarium‘s recipe of the week and a while ago, the recipe was for a Creamy Butter Bean Pasta. I love creamy pastas but since Sophie can’t have cow dairy, we have been limited in what we can make. Having discovered oat milk with goat cheese makes a great … Read moreCreamy Butter Bean Pasta
I’m having a big clean out in all parts of the house at the moment; clearing out my unused craft stashes, furniture, and the kitchen pantry, fridge and freezer. So tonight for dinner was “Bitsa Pie”! I’m going to preface it by saying that at least the mince was free-range and the garlic home grown. … Read moreBitsa Pie
I learnt to make vinaigrette when I lived in France 15 years ago (feeling old now!) I even kept my Maille mustard jar and lid to make it. Memories 🙂 So after my return I did revert back to the supermarket bottle stuff but in the last few years, have only used home-made and love … Read moreBasic Vinaigrette
