30 day challenge: no carb November
So…. Happy November readers! I haven’t eaten yet today and already I have a No Carb November dilemma….. If it comes from corn, does it doubt as a carb? In my mind, I say yes. But I’m standing outside a Mexican place which looks tasty and my belly says No, corn is a vegetable and…

Next Stop, Noosa!
So, in the midst of all the job searching, wedding planning, and challenge eating, I’ve neglected to tell you that it’s Noosa Week! Well, not yet, but as of Friday it is! What am I on about are you asking? The Noosa Triathlon Festival– it’s The Runner’s favourite triathlon of them all and it’s because…

Spaghetti for breakfast…
I know it sounds weird (to some) but eating savoury foods for breakfast is one of my guilty pleasures. Usually (but not always) they are leftovers from the night before. Yes, I have been known to make lunch for breakfast… much to The Runner’s disgust. Anyway, this morning the Summer Spaghetti Bolognese leftovers were calling…

Warning: Purple Carrots will turn your hands purple.
It’s challenge day and I’m up early preparing the pork. I’m making the Slow Roasted Shoulder of Pork with Carrots and Crackling from Pete Evans’ My Kitchen Cookbook. I was really meant to do this last night but our “come over for a couple of quiet drinks” got a bit out of hand and…

A Challenge!!!!!
So….. we’re having Sunday Dinner tomorrow night with 6 friends. (I’m making Pete Evan’s Roast Pork Shoulder from his My Kitchen cookbook- FYI). But the question is– what to make for dessert? Excuse me, sorry- what dairy free treat can I make for dessert? As it turns out, most desserts– or at least most…

Evil Jungle Princess….
So lacking the rigor and structure and schedule of a full time job, I sort of neglected to actually remember to invite anyone over for dinner tonight. We did issue a couple of last minute invitations this afternoon in Coogee but sadly no takers. Oh well…. This week’s dinner is actually a family recipe. Not…

I scream, you scream…oh wait, I can’t have it for another 20 days…
It was 39 degrees in Sydney today and walking home from the bus stop, I finally worked out what I’ve missed most in the last 10 days…. Ice Cream. Ice Cream is the single reason that no matter what science or a doctor tells me, I will never, ever, ever stop eating dairy. I’ve had…

Dairy Free Day 10
Whoa……… We’re 1/3 of the way there! Woh- oh, living dairy free! (It makes more sense if you hum Bon Jovi’s Living on A Prayer in your head when you read it) I did have a cheat day at a fabulous wedding but other than that I’ve been totally on the wagon. And it hasn’t…

Challenge 1: Done! Bring on Challenge 2!
Phew! I have exactly 1 hour and 45 minutes left of my 30 day Gluten Free challenge and to be honest, it hasn’t been that bad. I’ve had two cheat days- one was for charity and one was a hens day high tea. Yes, I made the most of it and had high tea, pizza…

7 days to go!
So, I’m nearly done with my 30 day Gluten free challenge and to be honest I haven’t done THAT badly! I’ve had one full on cheat day (for Charity) and other than discovering that the muesli I ate had gluten in it, I really haven’t had to change my diet too much. Yes, there have…
