What do you do if you’re craving the deliciousness of Chick-fil-A waffle fries on a Sunday when the chain is closed? Do you a.) just wait until the next day, or b.) settle for regular, boring fries? The answer is secret option c.) Make them at home. Trust me, it’s not that difficult. With just some potatoes, peanut oil, a large pot, and a trusty mandoline, you’ll be one step closer to the fries of your dreams....
I went ahead and called this “life changing chicken cashew stir fry” on Instagram and I really wasn’t exaggerating. For years I have tried to master the elusive perfect chicken cashew stir fry. The majority of my previous attempts would be classed as “mediocre at best”, and I’ve just never quite been able to hit the calibre of deliciousness I’ve tasted at many Chinese restaurants. Actually, my most favourite chicken stir fry ever came from the most unlikely of places - the hotel we stayed at in Fiji last year!...
This retro classic is here to stay – always! Chicken Cordon Bleu Chicken stuffed with ham and cheese, coated with crunchy golden breadcrumbs. You’d swear it’s fried – but it’s baked. The classic way to make Chicken Cordon Bleu involves breast pounded until thin, layered with ham and cheese, rolled into a log, chilled, dredged in flour then egg then breadcrumbs then deep fried (and you need a lot of oil to deep fry them)....
I have used store bought spring roll sheets so making these was a breeze. This recipe is roughly adapted from my vegetable spring rolls. This is just with an addition of chicken and Chinese five spice powder. You can also skip the spice powder or replace with any of your favorite spice mix. Soya sauce lends a delicate flavor to the chicken. While pepper adds mild heat to the stuffing....

A sweet, impressive crowd pleasing dessert option – and just 47 CALORIES per piece! Chocolate Covered Strawberries How many times have you slaved away on a dessert only to find that: people are too full to have more than a tiny slice; friends who declare they’re on a diet (and we all know that January is all about NYE resolutions to be healthier!); or doesn’t suit certain dietary requirements?...
My first chocolate hummus review was at a friend’s house. She’d bought a container from Trader Joe’s (apparently it has a bit of a cult following), and I took a tiny bite out of pure curiosity. My verdict was a progressive one. First it tasted different, but not in a bad way. Then it was quite enjoyable. Then I started piling it onto my plate with what would probably be regarded as bad manners, but this was a chocolate hummus moment, and I was in it....

This recipe came to me by way of a friend’s mom in a time of culinary need. About to graduate from college with student loans, I had the creeping realization that, while I could bake a killer pan of Mexican Cornbread, making food that was socially acceptable for dinner was a skill I had yet to acquire. A small group of friends called our moms to help us put together a cookbook featuring recipes we loved from our own families that were cheap, semi-nutritious, and (this was key) basically impossible to mess up....

Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta The weekend is here and we deserve a treat!!! Rather than heading out for dinner, I think you should make THIS luscious Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta at home. 🙂 Yes it’s indulgent, but let me assure you, it’s a whole lot healthier than eating out. Because let’s face it – restaurant food is so good because it’s loaded with butter, oil and salt. I once went in search for a famous Mashed Potato recipe by Guillaume Brahimi, a renowned French Chef here in Australia, after having it at his restaurant....

Cue to easy or make-ahead recipes, like these Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken Ranch, Slow-Cooked Pulled Brisket, Ham and Cheese Pinwheels and Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip.
