I frequently make pork chops in the oven, but this stovetop recipe is something special. I don't know if it's the thrill of the flambé or whether it's the sweet, charred peaches that gives it its edge. Whatever it is, it works for me. Who's hungry? Vincent and I, so this dish is for two. … Continue reading Pork Chops & Peaches

Steak Tortillas
What's great about tortillas is that they're basically just sleeping bags for any mixture of ingredients and sauces, helping you take one big bite of it all at once. I love it! This time we had some leftover spicy rice that Vincent made with a previous meal. All I had to do was add steak … Continue reading Steak Tortillas
Gem Squash with Spinach & Bacon Filling

So, last night I saw 2 gem squashes staring at me from my veggie drawer and looked … Continue reading Gem Squash with Spinach & Bacon Filling
Salmon Fishcakes

As this recipe doesn't include coconut cream or milk, I felt I … Continue reading Green Curry with Chicken

With lettuce and other salad-like ingredients aplenty, and a pack of wors staring up at me, a simple yet yummy meal was to be had. Who's hungry? Vincent and I so this recipe serves 2. Ingredients … Continue reading Wors & Salad
Salmon on a bed of Veggie Noodles
I often find myself daydreaming about Woolworths' spinach and cauliflower noodles. As a hardcore no-carber I can honestly say nobody does carb-free noodles like Woolworths does. I'll even go a step further and say sometimes I prefer the taste and texture of these noodles to actual pasta! So off to Woolies I went to get … Continue reading Salmon on a bed of Veggie Noodles
Sweet Potato & Spinach Frittata
Vincent and I have been talking about eating less meat for a while now. Not that we eat scary amounts of meat every day, but it seems that something meaty always slips into one of our meals. We both love vegetables, so it's not hard for us to consciously eliminate meat from a meal every … Continue reading Sweet Potato & Spinach Frittata
