Food is awesome, let's talk about it, while we eat.
(?)So, hello! It’s been too long…
Work has been going bananas so many 14 hr days have left me with zero energy literally falling asleep as soon as I land home.
Not cool, but hopefully it’s back to normal land now.
So last weekend I went a little “out there” and broke the weekend breakfast ritual by ordering from the LUNCH menu – whoa.
So I went a seafood broth and it was light, filling and left me wanting more. As you may already know …

It was time to hit our ‘To Do Recipe list‘ and last night we cooked a deliciously unhealthy, but surprisingly light, Poppy Seed Chicken casserole style dish picked up from Christy at The Girl Who Ate Everything.

Mart 130 is famous for their oven roasted corn fritters, and I’m certainly a repeat visitor to this dish. The fritters have a home & hand made feel, and being oven roasted they’re quite light, when you add the crunchy bacon, sour cream, coriander & a fruit chutney it’s an absolute sensation.

Cereal is one of my all time favourite meals, when I was super young I’d eat enormous amounts of Weetbix three times a day, covered in cream and sugar and swimming in litres of milk… Makes me hungry just thinking about it.
But now I’m a grown up and can’t handle that much cream and sugar, I’ve moved on to more mature types of breaky I’m kicking off today with a bowl of muesli, good for the body and tasty …
