How good is footy season, and how good is footy food! State of Origin is one of my favourite times of year (Go the Blues!!!), I love the cold, and I love a good excuse to pig out on food and drink in the middle of the week. Now while the eating and drinking and […]
So I know I like to say things are ‘the best,’ a lot, but sometimes they just are and you have to trust me. Almost any pasta dish is a winner in my book, but this, this is the best bolognese I have ever had! Usually bolognese is just a canned tomato fest and some […]
This corn seems so simple but I promise you it’s SO good. So good in fact that when I went to do this post, I realised that there are only so many action shots when boiling and grilling corn, and unfortunately, they all look the same. I have managed to narrow it down and give […]
Here I go with a serious food blogger problem. I love soup, and my family, not so much. Very annoying. They will begrudgingly have soup for dinner but will ask, ‘what’s for main course’ as they slurp their last spoonful. Gah. They have become so spoilt. You wouldn’t believe how anything less than a perfect […]
I guess after there was no Tuesday or Friday post last week you gathered I was still flat out with work. So flat out in fact I actually had to take a ‘mental health day’ on Friday and head down to Kingscliff for some R & R. Having day off is not as easy as […]
As you may notice I have been making a few changes and enhancements to Eatin’ Mess and during my homework I noticed a gross injustice. This absolutely delicious warm kale salad had been sitting in another post and not given the glory it deserves. So today, I am rectifying that. Here you go kale and […]
I think breakfast pizza is a great idea. It’s easy, combines all the breakfast favourites into one convenient mouthful and is great when catering for a lot of mouths. I am also always interested in breakfasts that are a little different, and with pizza, the possibilities are endless, you can add things like truffle, change up the bacon […]
Wow, work has been crazy! So much going on, and so much to do! I guess work has taken up any, and all brain power as I have written this post about 5 times and I keep going back, deleting it and then stare blankly at the screen only to delete the next thing I […]
Last night was the Brisbane Times Good Food Guide awards and boy does Brisbane, and Queensland, have some stuff to be proud of! Now as much as it pains me to say that as a born and bred Sydneysider and, of course, Blues supporter, Brisbane has been my home for the last 12 or so […]
This dessert is so easy. Who would have thought that boiling two ingredients and chilling it it for a while would give you a delicious, set, jelly/custard like dessert. Crazy easy, crazy good. I had my first posset at Spirit House, yes, another Spirit House rave. Anyway, it was fantastic. A simple and refreshing lime […]
So I don’t know about you, but after all the overindulging I did over Easter I need something as far away from chocolatey, creamy, richness as I can manage! I don’t want to think about anything sweet for a very long time, I am not sure I could even handle seeing brightly coloured foil wrapping […]
So I don’t know what happened to the lovely mild weather I was enjoying, Sunday was a stinker! I really hate the extremely hot days and wonder how on earth, me and everyone else in Queensland do it year in, year out. I will take 10 degrees over a heatwave any day. The heat had […]
