Ok, it’s official. I have a brunch addiction. How good is weekend brunch, though? So mellow, sitting in the sunshine, with nowhere to be and not a rush in sight. It’s the only time it’s perfectly acceptable to eat sweet treats as a main meal, plus it’s usually two meals rolled into one which means […] Read more…
I never have been the athletic type. Oh I did dance classes and stuff as a kid, but I classify that more as art than sport. When all the other ten-year old girls were out playing netball or hockey, I was curled up somewhere with a book. Or a series of books, to be exact. […] Read more…
Remember Yoda’s words to Anakin Skywalker when they met for the first time? “Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” (I know what you’re thinking. Not more Star Wars references?!! *face palm* Trust me, it’s easier if you don’t fight it.) […] Read more…
Sometimes I like to give myself little challenges. You know, just to make life fun and stuff. Last night I gave myself the challenge to create a simple dinner from ingredients I already had at home. I checked the fridge. I didn’t have much but I did have a bag of falafel balls […] Read more…
I’ve been meaning to go back to Source Foods ever since they laid this incredible Tempeh Burger on me a few months ago. Check that baby out! I was on my own at the time. Do you know how hard it is to eat a massive burger like this on your own? Oh don’t worry, […] Read more…

I have a regular weekday morning ritual. Get to work, wake up, go to the kitchen to make a coffee, and check my horoscope in the daily paper. If I don’t like what I read, I read the horoscopes of my friends and family until I forget all about my horrorscope. Just like kindred […] Read more…
Unless you’ve been living on another planet (which I tend to do from time to time), you’ll know that last Friday was International Star Wars Day! When I was a kid and the original (and the best, don’t even get me started…) Star Wars films were first released on TV, the local radio station would […] Read more…
If you know me or you’ve followed this blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m an excitable person at the best of times, so when BlogHer.com’s Food Editor, Genie Gratto, contacted me from California last week to tell me that they’d love to make me their weekly Featured Blogger, I almost passed out from the excitement! ME!!! Messing around on my […] Read more…

I had a wicked craving for pizza the other night. The kind of craving that tempts you to drive to the local pizza shop in the rain and hope to heaven they can pull off a vegan pizza. Then I remembered… I write a food blog! I could make a pizza myself! *light globe* I was […] Read more…
Just like a sexy Superhero, the SuperSeed Stir-Fry will swoop down and save your body from the damage that the evil weekend junk foods try to inflict (yes, champagne and vegan cupcakes, I am looking at you). When the healing properties and antioxidants available from mere vegetables, garlic and chilli aren’t enough, it’s time to call in […] Read more…
