How are you staying connected during these strange times? So many of my friends and family have embraced the “remote catch-up”. Yoga classes, book clubs, girls night, virtual bingo, all you need is decent internet connection and a webcam and you’re in for a treat. And just because you’re not all in the same room, doesn’t mean you can’t serve some snacks. Even if you’re the only one who’ll eat them. I made these delicious Vegan Cucumber Sandwiches the other day for my book club get-together and they were soooo good.

May 10th is Mother’s Day here in Australia. Not gonna lie, since having the kid it’s hands down my favorite day. A typical Mother’s Day for us starts out with The Mother’s Day Classic, a charity fun run, we then go for brunch, and finally pop in to my Mum’s house. It’s such a lovely day that fills me with gratitude and wonder. It is going to look slightly different this year because of social distancing but we’re still going to celebrate in our own special way. And that includes my Fancy Banana and Strawberry Porridge.

Happy New Year friends!! I hope you had a lovely and peaceful holiday break. It’s been a little quiet around here lately. Ordinarily I’d be right back into the swing of things by now but I’ve had a lot on my plate. This means the blog had to be put on the back-burner for a moment.
When I first started my blog I thought it would be a fun way to document my veggie journey and a nice space to store all the yummy plant-based dishes I was creating. I set myself a goal to post every week no matter what. Prior to this I had zero social media presence and minimal interest in sharing myself with strangers in that way. I was really rubbish at all the back end stuff (let’s be honest, I still am lol) and I had a lot of people around me who would roll their eyes and tell me I was wasting my time.
But over time I became more confident in my ability to create. I began to see that I had something of value to contribute to this amazing veggie community. That actually, I’d like to turn this hobby into a career.
There’s been so much going on for me over the last 12 months. There was the end of a very loooong term relationship, I moved into my own house and am navigating shared custody of a tweenager. It’s been tricky and scary and at times exhausting but I know deep down it was the right move for me and the kid.
Through it all my desire to really make a go of this foodie biz has only intensified. I want to be a boss and make the kid proud. It’s not going to be easy, but anything truly worth it never is. I’ve got so much cooking both in my kitchen and in my head and it all starts now. I’d love for you to come along for the ride this new year. Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Pinerest or you can subscribe to the blog so you never miss a post. Bring it on 2020! xx
2019 has been one hell of a year for me. It’s been a big year of change and growth. Sometimes it’s been a challenge but that’s okay because I’m super excited for the future. As far as my veggie cooking goes, I have to say I’m really proud of how far I’ve come. So much of what I’ve done up until now has been tweeking what I’ve learned from others and gaining my confidence as a plant-based home cook. But this year I feel like I’ve come into my own. And festive season family food is no exception! Take my Fabulously Festive Couscous Portobello Mushrooms for example. Nourishing, tasty, and easy to make they’re the perfect veggie Christmas lunch.
