The Quinoa Is Strong In This One
This weekend’s breakfast needed some Asian flair. I was wanting to make a Thai hard boiled egg dish, but opted to poach some eggs instead! Served over some quinoa and fried shallots, and topped with spring onion and a little cilantro. I made a sweet and tangy Thai inspired lime …
Pre Weekend Open Thread
I’ve been mapping out my weekend, or at least the start of it. I’m thinking of doing some Thai stuff, and maybe a few other random things this weekend. There might even be food porn if I can exercise some self control, and take a picture BEFORE eating it… I …
Italian Eggs Benedict?
The last couple of weekend breakfasts have been quinoa experiments, this weekend I returned to the basics; white sauces and eggs!

This weekend’s Brunch was a Frittata! I was actually going to make this recipe, but decided to change a couple ingredients, as well as add some extras. I still had leftover spinach that needed to be used, along with some grape tomatoes. I traded the cream cheese for feta, and …
Bowls 4 Breakfast
It’s funny how breakfast can be many different things. In China they love their rice congees, noodles, dumplings and more. I decided to try making a spicy pork bowl with some leftover spinach, red bell pepper, ground pork and homemade Shanghai Red Pepper Sauce from one of my favourite cookbooks… …
The Joy Of Brunch
One of the gifts I received during my birthday was The Bob Ross Cookbook; a book so wholesome I was surprised it didn’t burn my hands while holding it. It features paintings by Bob Ross himself, and is written in such a Bob Ross sort of way. Is it gimmicky? …
