Making and eating food for fun
Hi, I’m Bex.
I am not a chef, but I do love food.
I work full time and these are the recipes I make at home.
Everything you see here has either been dreamed up by me, or is a treasured recipe shared with me.

Cook once and make two meals!
Take one sliced pumpkin, cover it in sauce and bake it, creating two delicious dinners at once.
Night one’s menu is aromatic chicken and tender pumpkin slices in an amazing sambal sauce.
On night two, you’ll enjoy a super speedy, tasty pumpkin soup infused with coconut cream, ginger and lime.
This recipe is based on Claire Aldous’ Baked Coconut and Chilli Sambal Chicken, but adapted to turn it into two dinners instead of one.

These vibrant little bites turn leftover rice into the tastiest green ‘muffins.’
Bursting with spinach, peas, coriander and rice, they are anything but boring!

This quick creamy pasta sauce was dreamed up by my daughter and uses sausages for an instant flavour boost. Topped with cheese and fresh chives, this is a truly dreamy dinner bowl!

This saucy, chocolatey steamed pudding is an absolute favourite in our house. The soft pudding floats above a swirling sweet sauce that starts off runny but will thicken on standing.
Juicy sultanas and caramelly notes from the golden syrup will remind you of winter puddings at your Nana’s house; comforting, delicious and even better than you remembered.

Deliciously light and cheesy with hints of chives and pops of tangy pickle, these are amazing hot out of the oven spread with butter, or dipped in my easy tomato soup.
Did I also mention how easy they are to make?

Delicious and flavourful, this soup is great for a quick one-pan weeknight meal.
It is the perfect light accompaniment to my chive and pickle cheese puffs (recipe coming soon,) or just by itself with a thick slice of toast.

Feel like a real breakfast, real fast? Homemade porridge mix has entered the chat.
Whip up a batch of this delicious coconut blueberry porridge mix for a quick breakfast whenever you need it.
With a hint of sweetness, pops of dried blueberries and seeds, and a creamy coconutty finish, you’ll have something to look forward to on these chilly mornings.
One batch of this will keep for ages in the pantry, and sort your breakfasts for weeks; just mix with water, microwave and serve!

Did I mention that it is dairy and gluten-free too?
Using simple pantry ingredients, this delicious sauce is ready to eat in just 20 minutes.
This is totally delicious and you won’t regret making it!

Cornbread casserole is packed with flavour, tender and perfect for mopping up pulled pork or black beans.
My version of cornbread casserole is easy to whip together, delicious and uses pantry ingredients (no pre-made mixes!) It isn’t as dry as a traditional cornbread either, which I prefer.

My friend Sarah shared an amazing banana bread recipe with me many years ago. The recipe suggests replacing banana with mashed pumpkin for a delicious pumpkin bread, and it got me thinking…why don’t I do the same thing, but with muffins instead?
I used the same spices from her bread and these spiced pumpkin muffins, with pops of dark melty chocolate were born. Sweetened with maple syrup and with the addition of bran, they are a less sweet and more substantial snack.
With the current price of chocolate, I have gone for a less is more approach, but you can measure with your heart if you like them more chocolatey. I also felt like a hearty note of spice today, but if you prefer yours more sweet, simply omit the nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
