Lentil Bolognese
One of my favourite meals of all time is definitely Spaghetti Bolognese. Loved it as a kid and still love it now. It’s an easy go-to that most people have the knack of making and a ‘usual’ in the meal plan in many homes, I’m sure. But if you’re looking for a meatless option thenContinue reading “Lentil Bolognese”
Chipotle corn chowder
We were celebrating the 2 year anniversary of Free Spirited Sisters and I wanted to make something vegan and yummy that (hopefully!) everyone would like. And what better than a creamy corn chowder in the Fall? It was very well received, even by the non-veggos! The secret sauce in this delish corn chowder is theContinue reading “Chipotle corn chowder”
Seafood boil
It’s well and truly summer here in California. The days are lazy and warm, there’s lots of time in the water and eating outside as often as possible is the best! We recently hosted my best friend’s birthday party and wanted to make something delicious for dinner. She loves seafood, so I thought it wouldContinue reading “Seafood boil”

I often get our groceries delivered, which is an incredible blessing in our busy lives. But sometimes that means I don’t get exactly what we ordered. Sometimes I choose the wrong size item – it has become a bit of a joke that I, ahem, “sometimes” ordered tiny sized items by mistake. But occasionally it’sContinue reading “Butternut squash gnocchi”
Thai lettuce cups
I love me some lettuce cups, and butter lettuce is my favorite type to use! These Thai lettuce cups can be made with ground chicken (mince) or tofu or diced tempeh if you prefer a plant-based option. Either way they are a great and simple addition to the weeknight dinner rotation. And the peanut sauceContinue reading “Thai lettuce cups”

Oh, how I love me some Italian food! Mum did an Italian cooking course when we were young, so we got to try a lot of wonderful dishes and it created a love of olives, sun dried tomatoes, basil and much, much more. Fast forward a few years and we have this delicious antipasto pastaContinue reading “Antipasto pasta”
