Goodbye Fattember, Hello Droptober…
igh…. I have to say that the past 30 days have been pretty good. Not only are we back in Sydney and settling back into married life but it’s been the inaugural Fattember. What is Fattember I hear you say? Fattember is exactly what it sounds like. Fat-September. Think Mardi Gras or Christmas (we don’t…

Goodbye April, Goodbye Wine.
Farewell April, you’ve been awesome. Eating what I want, celebrating my birthday, three public holidays from work- how could a month be any better? But now it’s time to pay the piper. Waistlines have expanded and there are wedding dresses to fit into, bridal shower pictures to look back on, hens night outfits to find…

Pale-no or my theory of evolution
I’m giving up and throwing in the towel on my Paleo challenge this month. After 7 days of not being fully committed to it– Friday morning’s hangover quenched with a piece of toast, a few breadsticks and dip on Saturday and a few treats at Ladies Lunch yesterday which were definitely not paleo plus my…

Paleo, Caveman, Primal, UGH!

We had a lovely dinner with friends on Friday night, it was a veritable feast! (It was also one of the only non-alcohol, non-meat dinner parties I’ve ever…

Artichoke and Red Pepper Souffle Omlette
It’s fast, easy and looks pretty tasty! A great vegetarian weeknight meal. I adapted the recipe from BBC Good Food but added emmenthal and tasty cheese to give it a bit more flavour than the original recipe called for…. and also because I happened to have extra cheese leftover from the eggplant au gratin last night!…

Day 18- this is hardly a challenge
More than half of the way through No red meat December and quite frankly I’m a bit bored. This is not challenging. This is not that hard. I don’t feel like I’m denying myself anything and really I’m not. Giving up red meat for 30 days is a lot easier than I thought it would…
