Thai Green Curry Noodle Soup

I have two favorite types of food to make and eat: Thai and soup. This recipe encompasses both of my favorites into a perfectly delightful meal.

Dulce de Leche Mousse

Well, this is my first post in a couple of weeks. That was unexpected - Emmet and I traveled up to the North Island to spend the holidays with my parents and we quickly discovered that we were being whisked away on a beautiful (but internetless) beach holiday. It was a perfect break away but now I am back and ready to share with you all.

When I was in Argentina I became a bit obsessed with dulce de leche. I brought quite a lot back to NZ with me and this beautiful dulce de leche and chocolate mousse is a delightful treat that came out of this obsession.

Peppermint Fudge

This is the last recipe in my series of holiday season baking treats. This is a super simple recipe for peppermint fudge.

Chicken and Shrimp Jalapeño Chili

If you're looking for a big bowl of comforting deliciousness then this is for you.

Chocolate Peppermint Slice

With Christmas just around the corner (eek!) I have been getting into the full swing of holiday baking. For me that involves lots of chocolate and lots of peppermint. 

This chocolate and peppermint slice is easy to make and is a great treat for yourself or for a nice homemade edible gift.

Steak and Cheese Macaroni

Macaroni cheese has always been one of my absolute most favorite dishes. It's easy to make, quick, and tastes great. I also love how easily adaptable it is.

This recipe take a simple stove top mac and cheese with the addition of delicious sliced medium rare steak.

Christmas Fruit Cake

Fruit Cake is one of those things that, to me, is synonymous with Christmas. This recipe is so simple to follow and the cakes taste exactly right, and deliciously moist.

Caramel, Apple, and Almond Pancakes

These caramel, apple, and almond buttermilk pancakes are quick and easy to prepare and make for a great family breakfast or brunch on a cool Sunday morning.

Thai Lamb Meatballs

Thai is my favorite cuisine - it's quick and easy, uses beautiful fresh ingredients, and is nice and healthy too.

Snickers {no bake} Cheesecake

It's been well over two months since my last cheesecake recipe (This makes me sound like Cheesecakes Anonymous!) so it's definitely past time for another! Luckily I just so happen to have this beautiful Snickers Cheesecake sitting here begging to be posted.

Steak and Egg Sandwich

During my short stay in Argentina, I noticed that they add scrambled egg to everything. Go anywhere selling food and you'll find french fries topped with egg, hot dogs with egg, grilled steak with egg... 

On a few occasions at a few different places I ordered a steak sandwich. Everyone knows Argentina for its steak so I had to make the most of it, right? On each occasion, the sandwich was also loaded full of scrambled egg. It tastes AMAZING!

Chocolate Orange Fudge

Chocolate and Orange is a classic flavor combination - one that is especially popular in the holiday season. Fudge makes a perfect homemade gift as well, it keeps very well and can be dressed up in cellophane or mason jars.

Chicken Tortellini Soup

Soup is just one of those things that I can't get enough of. I love coming up with new ways to enjoy soup. All year 'round too! I really don't stick to the "soup is for winter" rule.

Chocolate and Raspberry Calzones

Chocolate and Raspberry Calzones are a fun and delicious sweet twist on the Italian Calzone pizza. Hands up whose all for a dessert pizza?!

I absolutely adored this dessert. The calzones were easy to make, and once the pizza dough was made, quick too! The combination of ingredients makes this dessert a bit more pleasing to the waist line than my usual desserts - which I know a lot of you will love!

Lamb Kofta Pita Pockets with Quinoa Tabbouleh

Koftas are ground meat mixed with a few spices and shaped into balls or kebabs. They can be found in many different cuisines including Indian, Afghani, Pakistani, and Turkish. The Greek variation is a popular dish including chickpeas, usually fried and served with yogurt or tzatziki. They are simple to make and taste great. I've made the recipe a little more healthy by baking the koftas.
