Nut-free pesto (pumpkin seed pesto)
Full disclosure: I have no idea what pesto made with nuts is supposed to taste like or if this pumpkin seed nut-free pesto resembles it in any way, but in my opinion, pesto without nuts tastes pretty good. Pesto is normally made with pine nuts, cheese, basil and...
Smoky Baked Beans (That Are Better Than Your Local Cafes)
I don’t order baked beans for breakfast anymore when I go out to eat. Why? As someone who would much rather not be cooking, I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but it is because the smoky baked beans I make at home are better than any baked beans I have paid big...

Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins
What do you do when you have a ridiculous amount of fruit at your disposal and not enough hours in the day and days in the week to eat it all before it spoils? You have to use them in baked goods! In this case, it was strawberry and white chocolate muffins. ...
Easy Garlic Mushrooms – Spanish Tapas Style
Setas al Ajillo (translates to: mushrooms with garlic) would have to be my all-time favourite way of enjoying mushrooms. I first tried mushrooms cooked this way at a Spanish tapas place near my home and instantly fell in love with them. The robust little button...
