Goje Frozen Yogurt Yarraville It’s the middle of winter. It snowed in the suburbs last week. I wore leggings underneath my skinny jeans last night and I may have even been hiding bed socks inside my knee high boots. Wheat packs and instant hand warmers are basically my life right now. But winter does blow […]

Cannibal Creek Winery I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order. John Burroughs We are on a mission to get out of the city, to see green horizons and windswept places, to embed some white space into our lives through connection with the green, and to […]

They are also great for sharing with family and friends or eating in a delicious sandwich on the […]
Guacamole Salsa Recipe This is the best ever dip recipe. And the best ever guacamole recipe. And the best ever accompaniment to tacos, nachos and corn chips of any sort. In other words, I really love this recipe. I make this guacamole salsa all the time because it is full of many good things (omega-3 […]
Home-made Taco Shell Recipe Why would you want to make your own taco shells when it is so easy to buy the ready made ones? Well I don’t exactly know, except to say that I do like to try and make most things from scratch myself, at least once. At least then I know what […]
