Bolognese Sauce Pizza with a Yoghurt Bread Base
I always make spaghetti bolognese when I know I want a fuss free dinner. It is packed full of vegies which means it is a win win. With the leftover bolognese sauce I normally make lasagna or a spaghetti pie but this night I decided to smother the top of a yoghurt bread pizza base […]
Crunchy Salami, Penne Pasta and Poor Man’s Parmesan
We all have those nights where we think I really don’t feel like cooking tonight but know that it is better to make something at home then spend a fortune on takeaway. So on those kinda nights I look for meals that are super easy to make and have minimal ingredients. This crunchy salami, penne […]
Beef and Vegetable Soup
I’m really sad that soup season is nearly at end as the days are starting to get warmer here on the Gold Coast. So while there is still a slight chill in the air I am cooking soups, stews and curries before the return to the barbeque and salad meals commence. I was gifted the […]

Slow Cooker Chorizo Minestrone Soup
This chorizo minestrone soup is so full of flavour you’ll be coming back for seconds. I have used D’Orsogna Mild Spanish Chorizo Salami to add a bucket load of flavour to what is normally a rather plain soup. As the chorizo cooks it unleashes all of its full flavour into the soup making for one […]
Bacon, Sweet Potato and Halloumi Frittata
I love frittata’s because I don’t have to fuss around with pastry, when it cooks it forms its own crust like texture on the outside. I had some leftover D’Orsogna 100% Natural shortcut bacon in the fridge along with some halloumi that we only ate a little of during the week and diced to whip […]
