'Stir-Through' Mac & Cheese
We normally don't eat a lot of pasta but I must admit, I love having this simple stir-through dish in my repertoire as a treat for Fergal or when I have a hoard of hungry toddlers to feed.

I thought I was scarred for life.
I could eat this every day. In fact I pretty much do.
Balsamic vinegar is such as magical ingredient. Especially with these sausages and cabbage.
I’ll let you in on a secret…
It’s funny how ideas come and go. Years ago I created a Zucchini Burger recipe and was super excited about veggie burgers that actually contained vegetables. At the time I was keen to try a broccoli burger.
This is one of those substantial main course salads that the French do so well. It also doubles nicely as a side salad without the extra protein.
Don’t be alarmed! This recipe doesn’t actually contain any blood!

Over the Summer I was reading Emiko Davis’ beautiful book ‘Aquacotta – Recipes of Tuscany’s Secret Silver Coast’.
There’s a new method of cooking vegetables I’ve been experimenting with for a while now. This Broccoli Cheese recipe showcases this new technique.
When I'm in the mood for a sandwich or a slice of toast, this is my go-to recipe, inspired by David and Luise at Green Kitchen Stories. I love how something that feels and tastes quite 'bready' is actually a serve of vegetables.
Move over spiralized zucchini! There's a new vegetable based pasta substitute that is even more delicious and comforting.
If you haven’t come across Cacio e Pepe, you’re in for a treat!
Is this going to be the same as an oozy creamy risotto made with real Italian arborio rice? No.
I was so exctied the first time I made this healthy take on 'pizza'. Even my Irishman, a devotee of the classic Napoli pizza style said it was delicious.
Back when I used to eat potato chips on a regular basis, ‘cheese and onion’ was one of my favourite flavour combos. This recipe is a little healthier celebration of that classic junk food ‘marriage’.
Back in the day before I had diabetes and knew about things like blood sugar and carbohydrates, I always wondered why we needed to have crackers or some type of bread with our cheese.
I made this the other night for a ‘batchelorette’ dinner because my Irishman was out. I was craving something healthy but also cheesey and comforting. Talk about hitting the spot!
The first time I made this I just piled everything into a baking dish. Popped it in the oven and set the timer so dinner cooked itself while the boys and I went for a walk to the dam.
When I was growing up my favourite favourite meal was my Mum’s Tuna Mornay which we called ‘Tuna Dish’.
If you’re not familiar with Colcannon, you are in for a treat!
These eggs are a simplified version of a dish served at one of my favourite Melbourne restaurants, Cumulus Inc. They bake the eggs in individual cast iron pots but I’ve found cooking on the stove top with a lid on so the top of the eggs steam gives just as good results.
OMG! This is one of my favourite favourite things to eat at the moment. It’s such as simple dinner but so satisfying and delicious. And one of those versatile recipes that is equally good for breakfast, lunch OR dinner.
