Passionfruit Cream Pie!
Growing up in Australia I took passionfruit for granted. They grew abundantly and fresh passionfruit were almost always available. And if there were no fresh ones, we could always pick up some canned passionfruit pulp in a pinch. In the US, it’s a different story. Fresh passionfruit are only occasionally available in supermarkets and when they are they are ridiculously...

Banana, Raisin and Pecan Bread

This time a year ago my partner Ken and I started discussing seriously whether or not we were finally going to take the plunge and start trying to have a child. We had been together through ups and downs for about 18 years at that point. It seemed like if we were ever going to do it, this was the time.

Oh I know it has been so so long since I posted here. Sometimes there are periods where I just don’t have the head space to do one more thing, and unfortunately blogging, and cooking for that matter, were the two things I had to drop for a while. But, that ultra busy period has ended and I will try to share more here, more frequently. Although there are some big changes that are about to occur in my life that I will share with you in future posts. Today, however I’m sharing a recipe for some lip smacking vegan, gluten-free waffles! Blueberry and banana waffles to be precise.

There is something immensely satisfying about eating with your hands. Especially when it involves an incredibly tasty filling encased in dough or between two slices of bread.
