My big guy is a swimmer, amongst other things, so there is a high chance of me spending an hour or two at the pool each week, sans baby, ‘relaxing’ and mindlessly playing Jurassic Park. <<< There you have it people, my dirty little secret …
Dave and I attended an awesome Supper Club hosted by Sealord on Tuesday night which saw Trudi Nelson from www.fresh.co.nz cooking up some divine recipes using fresh Hoki. Previously I had been a bit turned off by Hoki, my experience was that it was a bit too flaky to really use for anything other than a pie. Well, I have been totally converted and to be honest, I’m pretty stoked to discover how much we love this mild, versatile and inexpensive fish ($9.99 at New World this week! – as cheap as mince!).
There were a couple of dishes that particularly grabbed my attention so I was keen to give them a go at home, only I liked them both so much I decided to create a mash up! By the way, check out that pic – no flaky mess, hurray!
This dinner was so super quick to prep and cook, and though I’m no nutritionist, I say it def ticks a few boxes.
Both of Trudi’s original recipes can be found here, I have combined them below for my mash-up version. Ethan (age 9) ate the miso crusted hoki but he didn’t love it, next time I will just do a simple panko crumb on his piece and everyone will be happy!

I apologise in advance for this recipe, because holy moly these boys are sinful! But totally awesome, everyone will love these and they keep really well for lunch-boxes throughout the week.

Instagram is bad news brown for little love-to-shop Mamas like myself. I can’t remember how I stumbled upon Little Noggi but I’m SO glad I did. I purchased Nixie’s first, reversible Little Noggi hat in an Instagram sale and I won this beautiful lined …
So many iconic New Zealand brands are participating in New World’s Little Shop promotion but Sealord have taken it one step further this year; they have built two fully functioning Little Boats, complete with engine and rudder which will be given away to two lucky …
Dave received a waffle maker for his birthday at the beginning of the month, so we have been faffing about, trying out different waffle recipes for the past three weeks and not been entirely impressed with any of them.
Until today.
Behold, The Jack Family 2/3rds American Approved Best EVER Waffle Recipe! These have a very liquid, thin batter which is what we had been looking for. Dense batters = dense waffles and we prefer the light and fluffy variety. It’s never good to feel like you’ve swallowed a couple of bricks after brekkie right?

Pass the wine. For the past 13 months I have been self-righteously patting myself on the back, mentally high-fiving because the huge age gap between our kids has been a huge non-event. And truth be told it hasn’t been difficult in any of …
