A steamy bowl of meatball stew served with sourdough and stirred through with a generous spoonful of parmesan 👌🔥😆 Sooo much improvising is happening in my cooking lately. While exact measurements are definitely helpful to start off, I'm very much loving the mum-style cooking (add a bit of this and a swirl of that) 🤣 For those who are curious about the recipe, here's a rough guessimate ✌️ Serves 4-6 (our family of five plus some leftovers) Meatballs*🍖 - 500g lean beef mince - 2 tbp dried mixed herbs - 1 egg - 2tbsp breadcrumbs - 2tbsp rice wine Stew 🍲 - 3tbsp extra virgin olive oil - 1 brown onion, diced - 1/2 bunch celery, sliced - 2 carrots, chopped - 1 zucchini, chopped - 1/2 small head cauliflower, roughly chopped - 1/6 kent pumpkin, peeled and roughly chopped - 2 x 400g diced tomatoes - 1tsp grated ginger - 4 cloved garlic, minced - pinch of salt - dash of soy sauce 1. Mix all meatball ingredients and make 1tbsp balls. Place on a large dish. 2. Heat 1tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over med heat. Cook meatballs briefly, only enough to brown the outside (inside can be pink for now, we'll simmer them in the stew anyway). 3. Heat 2tbsp olive oil in a large pot over med heat, add onions, celery and carrot. Cook til softened. 4. Add zucchini, cauliflower and pumpkin. Add pinch of salt, 1/2cup of water and cover with lid. Cook for 10mins or til veg are soft. 5. Add remaining ingredients, another 1/2cup water and meatballs. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 10mins, uncovered. 6. Serve with sliced sourdough, your fave cheese(s) and enjoy! *to make this vegetarian or a speedy meal, skip the meatballs and add a can of red kidney beans or mixed beans 👌🌱 I've also done this recipe with cubed lamb shoulder and it's 👌👌

Steamed dumplings, anyone?🙌 When you've got leftover fillings after making gyoza and wontons... then bought square instead of circular dumpling wrappers 🤣 These steamed dumpling prisms looked the part ✌️ Enjoy with a bit of sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar 👌

Happy mothers day to all mothers, carers and loved ones 🙏❤️ Thank you for all the care, love, the hugs you give, the girl talks, and good food. This year, we had an indoor "picnic" as a family and spent a good couple of hours sitting on the carpet, munching and chatting. On the picnic menu this sunday: - Assorted sandwiches (egg and mayo, smoked salmon and cucumber) - Roasted veg salad with ponzu dressing - Herby cheesy veg egg muffins - Oven toasted falafel bites by @yumisdips - Pureed salmon salsa, potato and greens (for the sister recovering post-teeth extraction) Dessert: - Custard, assorted fruit, sponge fingers - Fresh scones with whipped cream and strawberry jam

How about some nachos-style loaded sweet potato fries 😆 A tray bake is one of my favourite go-to cooking methods when it's chilly outside and all you want is less washing up and more sofa snuggles 🙌☀️ I used the precut frozen sweet potato chips here, but you can cut up your own chippies from whole sweet potatoes 👌 1. Bake sweet potato chips for 20mins at 200℃ 2. Meanwhile, dice 1 onion and zucchini. Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in large fry pan on medium heat and add onions and zucchini. Cook til soft. 3. Add 500g lean mince* to the pan and break up the mince til browned and cooked. Add 1 tbsp smoked paprika and 2 tbsp tomato paste. Mix well. 4. Drain 400g tin of black beans and tin of corn kernels. Add to pan and mix well. 5. Layer mince mixture and mozzarella cheese on the baked sweet potato chips. Return tray to oven and bake for 5-10mins or until cheese is bubbling. 6. Meanwhile, halve a punnet of mini tomatoes and roughly chop a handful of coriander. 7. Top the loaded fries with tomatoes and coriander and serve up while it's bubbling hot. Enjoy! *I used pork here, because gyoza and wontons were next in the cooking list and they use pork mince, but feel free to change it up with turkey, beef, lamb, or crumbled firm tofu

Happy Easter festivities continue! 🐣🌸 Feeling accomplished with all the events we've made with hot cross buns this year 🙌 Celebrating hot cross bun-ness through a blind taste testing competition, a brief ritual of daily toasted buns for brekkie and soaking them in homemade custard, blueberries and custard for an indulgent afternoon tea ✌️🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rankings from the Hsu family judges: 1. @bakersdelight 2. @colessupermarkets 3. @woolworths_au *other potential contestants were absent on the competition day and were excluded 🤣

Pita platter party in the comfort of your home 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In these stay-at-home kind of theme, why not welcome these warm fluffy clouds of pita from the local deli, ready to be torn, wrapped and dipped 😆 Try this platter with veggie-based dips like babaganoush and hummus, a bright crisp salad and share the love of finger foods with some falafels 👌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What you need: - Pita bread - Falafel bites (I used @yumisdips ) - Babaganoush and/or hummus - 1 punnet mini tomatoes - 1 head oak lettuce - Fresh herbs (I didn't have parsley, so used coriander this time) - Extra virgin olive oil - Lemon juice - Black pepper ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Toast falafel bites in oven or oven toaster for 10mins or til heated through and crispy🔥 2. Halve tomatoes, chop lettuce and herbs and drizzle with olive oil, lemon and crack some pepper. 3. Heat large pan with a little olive oil, grill pita bread to warm up 🔥 4. Serve up immediately and enjoy!🙏
