Lent/detox
You may remember a few months ago I basically gave up everything fun and good and went on a six week detox…. Well I’m going to do it again- with some slight modifications. Why? Why would I put myself through thatagain? Well, because I felt really good while I was doing it and I looked…

What (or who) is your nemesis?
The Runner has one. I have one. Superman has one. I’m sure everyone has one. And that’s a nemesis. In Greek Mythology, Nemesis was the Goddess of Revenge, she’s the one that brings “sorrow to mortals” (according to Wikipedia which doesn’t lie). Nemesis also believed that “no one should ever have too much good, and…

Happy Birthday Runner!!!!!!!!!
We’re celebrating The Runner’s 33rd birthday this weekend! In true style, he’s biking 150 kilometers this morning before his birthday drinks this afternoon. We had dinner at Universal on Thursday night– my advice, go for dessert! Skip the overpriced, undersized entree/mains and go straight for the dessert. I had the Madame Pompadour and it was…

OMG, It’s another Sunday Dinner Party!
So this week’s challenge is from Jane Kennedy’s OMG I Can Eat That?!?. The recipe was the Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Piemakin and OMG it was pretty easy and pretty good! So, soon after I picked this recipe, I had a minor freak out—it’s served in Ramekins and I “only” have two sizes of ramekins…

OMG, I Can Eat That??
Is the name of this week’s cooking challenge cookbook. Despite it’s crazy name, it’s actually pretty good and really good for my late summer pre-Ireland and US slim down! Last week I made Lamb loin dusted with dukkah with parsley and red onion salad with spicy roasted pumpkin. It was really good…

Seriously, I have less than two months to perfect the perfect St. Patrick’s Day Dessert….. Thinking Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Jamesons ganache filling and Bailey’s Frosting, with Guinness Milk Chocolate Ice Cream…

I lied
So I sort of lied when I said that not much was going on a week or so ago. That’s definitely not true- it’s just that all the stuff that’s going on is pretty normal, boring stuff. I guess it’s called everyday life. But there’s so much of it going on that I forgot this…

Cockroaches- ugh!
So, after living in Sydney for 10+ years, I’ve gotten used to cockroaches as a part of life. Normally at least once a year, a big brown creature larger than a lady bug but slightly smaller than a rat comes crawling through the house and I do the normal female thing of screaming hysterically and…

G’day Mates! I’m baking Irish Cupcakes…
Yes, I know I should be making a pavlova- or at least something that doesn’t require the oven to be on… it’s sweltering in here. Baking cupcakes was not my best idea ever, but they are The Runners favourite cupcakes- Guinness Chocolate with Bailey’s Irish Cream Frosting (hence the name Irish Cupcakes). I first made them…

So much has happened…. well, no, not really.
It’s been a pretty quiet week in the He Runs, I Cook household this week. Other than steak last night and possibly pork tonight, I haven’t cooked a thing– very rare! I haven’t even made it past Episode 2 of Masterchef Professionals so you know I’ve been busy! Well, that and The Runner has been…
He Runs, I Cook
He does triathlons, I do dinner…and other stuff that we'll share with you
