Let’s do this thing. Sometime this week, ok?

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

7 Days

 Seven days = 168 hours. I figure I spent about 42 of those hours sleeping and 100 hours cleaning the juicer so that leaves 26 hours I am unable to account for!  WTH. What do I do with myself all day?   This week has

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!
