American

banana & peanut butter porridge

The days when I don’t do so well at being an adult, I feel a little beaten. Examples include missing flights, losing keys and spilling dinner on my dresses (which happens far too regularly). Days when I smash being an adult, I know I am winning at life. Examples include paying street performers, packing an umbrella, buying flowers and waking up at 7am on a Saturday morning and making breakfast with extra adult points for sprinkling chia seed on whatever that is. So here it is. A winning Saturday morning decision that warrants a pat on the back for doing really well at life.

banana & peanut butter porridge

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup oats
1 banana, sliced
1tbs unsweetened smooth peanut butter
1 1/4 cup milk of your choice
2tbs chopped cashews – walnuts & almonds will also work
1tbs honey plus extra to serve
1tsp cinnamon
Sprinkle of chia seed to serve – optional

Method

Add all the ingredients together in a small pot. Bring to a gentle simmer over a low heat.

Mush through the banana and peanut butter until smooth and the oats are cooked – around 5 minutes should do. If you prefer a runnier porridge add a little extra milk. Serve with extra honey, banana, cashews and sprinkle over some chia for extra points.

Hey there

This is a collection of tastes from my tables abroad… wherever that may be. I spend my days professionally food writing my nights recipe developing flavours from my adventures.

I am at my happiest when sharing food with my favourite people. I care deeply about nourishing our bodies with goodness. I don’t believe in dieting, I don’t believe in fads, I believe in feeding your body simply with home made deliciousness.

You have not lived until you have dunked a prawn cracker into homemade Indonesian satay sauce.

Anyone from Perth over the age of 30 may remember Anyone from Perth over the age of 30 may remember the Fresh Provisions sticky meatballs. I’ll jog your memory: you’re 19, it’s 2am, you’ve just left clubba and you head to fresh provs because HJ’s is closed. This and maybe that Broccoli Salad 🙌🏼 in any case, this is mid 30’s Holly recreating her youth. You’re welcome! Sticky Honey Soy Meatballs on the blog.

It’s like a sticky cinnabon bun, meets sweet potato pie, meets smiling Canadians … except for dinner. Maple Sweet Potato Soup With Bacon on the blog 🇨🇦

Literally, breaking news. What can I say, we’re cute and we like to get on board with the idea of cozy. Clearly I am no exception. Chicken soup for the mind, heart and soul coming right up…

Things we know about ordering takeaway Chinese foo Things we know about ordering takeaway Chinese food: 

1) You will inevitably receive an oversupply of wooden chopsticks. Obviously this is because you over-ordered and you only have yourself to blame for the restaurants assumption. 

2) The food will be mildly OK. Just good enough for you to finish you container but not good enough to alleviate the feeling of takeaways remorse.

3) No lessons will be learnt and you will repeat this two weeks later. I call this Regrettable Chinese Takeaway.

So all in all, it’s probably just easier to grab some steak and a broccoli and sort this one yourself (or until next week when you Regrettable Chinese Takeaway all over again).
