TGI Fridays Tasting Plate

While living in Melbourne, TGI Fridays was a favourite Friday night venue to ease into the weekend. My order was always Buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing, celery crudites and a couple of Pina Coladas. Perfect. Buffalo wings are a bit of a favourite in our house too, however, after doing them to death we […]

Well here in Brisbane it is starting to get warmer. Windows are open at night, winter woolies have been packed away and before long it will be time to once again hear the creaking sound of a ceiling fan on high during those long and sleepless nights. Now while the sweaty and sleepless nights don’t […]

So being a 20 something and living back at home isn’t ideal. I know this. I long for the days of my own apartment again however because I work from home it sort of doesn’t make sense to leave and then come back every day for work and then let’s face it, probably stay for […]

I love homemade pizzas! You can have exactly what you want, in the quantities that you want. And it’s really worth going the extra mile and making your own bases as well. I think these three pizzas are perfect together. They cover almost all bases (unless you are a meat lovers kinda pizza eater) and […]

So last night we decided we would have something plain, just a piece of fish and some salad… so in true Kelly style, this turned into something not so plain and of course, American. Although this is not as ‘plain’ as first envisioned, it is a very simple and quick meal to whip up. Delicious!

Rubio’s Tuesday

While in America, Rubio’s, unintentionally, became our cure-all when under the weather after a big night. It’s just the right amount of ‘fast food’ so you get your fix, but it is packed with fresh and healthy ingredients to bring you back from the brink. Unfortunately, we don’t really have anything quite like Rubio’s back […]
