Tuna and chickpea salad

by Dani

Melbourne is not a place to cook this week. It reached 43.4 degrees in the city today and 44 degrees i my neck of the woods. That’s around 110 in Farenheit. Admittedly I did get up at 6am to cook some chickpeas I’d had soaking but as it is still 37.4 degrees at 9.30pm, I […]

Tuna Crepe Stack

by Dani

This week’s cook book challenge combined with my lack of culinary energy has produced the somewhat mundane tuna crepe stack. Whilst unremarkable, it was a good honest meal of the comforting variety. Something I would imagine most children would eat happily and reasonably quick to prepare. Budget friendly as well. The recipe claims to serve […]

Meal in a bowl – another salad

by Dani

Today was another wonderful, warm Melbourne spring day. Complete with somewhat annoying trademark Melbourne gale force winds. The Ankle Biters and I were out the door by 7.45am and on our way to the farmers market at Collingwood Children’s Farm. As were half the inhabitants on Melbourne (or so it seemed). photo by pinkcocoa, some […]

Variations on the same theme…

by Dani

I used almost the same ingredients for both lunch and dinner today. Is that wrong? Bad luck if it is, its the end of the week in terms of food shopping and choices are limited. Both meals were good and it was the Ankle Biters turn to cook dinner so I’m happy. We had our […]

Cut lunch from she is who too lazy to bake.

by Dani

When the Ankle Biters insist on rising at 4.30am and I have to spend three hours of the morning in the pool, I tend to run a little short of energy in the afternoon. Even more so when I cut the tip off my finger and bleed like a stuck pig for hours on end. […]

quick, cheap, good

What more do you want? Snappy post titles? Still battling the brain funk but desperately trying to move my way through the massive pile of assorted papers that accumulated during the computerless days. Really, it was less than a week. How could such a large pile with such a broad variety of tasks gather so […]

10 Minute Hot Night Tuna Salad…Or Maybe 14

by Dani

The amount of minutes entirely depends on soft or hard boiled eggs. No lettuce in this one. I want it dense and meal like, no arguments, it’s hot, I cleaned the house, mowed the lawn and did the ironing. I’m done in the kitchen for today. Tuna Salad 1 – 2 eggs per person, boil’em […]

Pan Seared Tuna with Ginger Lime Dipping Sauce

by Dani

I found two yellow fin tuna steaks in the freezer and 1 small tin of tuna. The Ankle Biters have not been worthy of yellow fin steaks today. So I had yet another delve into Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and found this lovely recipe for pan seared tuna. I served it on top of steamed […]

Yellow Fin Tuna Salad

by Dani

A divine big steak of yellow fin tuna caught my roving eye at the market this morning. Fresh in off the boat too. I had dreams of it being good enough to make a carpaccio. I brought it home and froze it for half an hour so as to slice it more easily, sliced off […]
