Beauty and food. The ultimate combination.
If you’ve read my Eating Like a King in Palmerston North blogpost you’ll recall that I raved about Avo Smash, the absolutely fabulous breakfast we had at Palmy North’s Tomato Cafe… I have shamelessly recreated their recipe and it rocks.
I’ve made Avo Smash a good number of times for breakfast/brunch since our Palmy trip and I’ve made variations* with great success! Here’s the recipe for you. Oh, it is great as a dip too! (more…)
It was Shrove Tuesday this week and, for the first time ever, I remembered. My boys were jumping for joy at the thought of having my super fluffy pancakes for dinner as a special treat!
I’ve made a lot of pancakes in my time – these are the best. No contest. These got demolished this week with our favourite accompaniments: Bacon, banana and maple syrup. Although I’ve been known to have these with cheese, bacon, jalapenos and hot sauce, as, apparently, I’m a bit odd. No matter what the topping, these super fluffy pancakes are seriously light and fluffy as a result of egg whites folded into the batter. We reckon these are the ultimate weekend breakfast and, according to my Hubby, my pancakes are better than those he pays $16 for from our local cafe. He’s not a man prone to compliments, so I’ll take that, thank you. The kid reckons these are as good as McDonald’s Hot Cakes. Sigh.
Oh – These are also the perfect treat for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Or just on Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, just try ’em. (more…)
This recipe is inspired by NZ’s The Food Truck TV series, with some serious Beauty Foodie adaptations. Now, it’s important to note that, I’d only eat regular baked beans if there’d been a natural disaster and we were forced to devour the food stuffs in our Household Emergency Survival Kit. These babies, on the other hand, are utterly yummo and made me do a complete 180 on my perspective on baked beans. Give this a whirl for Sunday brunch it makes for great tucker (damn good hangover food in my case!) (more…)
