A couple of weeks ago I attended the launch of the totally SUPER new GO Superfood range from Go Healthy. We were challenged to try some new recipes to get us thinking a little out of the box about how we can use superfoods in ways other than our morning smoothies. This recipe really stood out for me, it was fun and quick …
Cook, Eat | Chicken, Leek & Spinach Pie Recipe
I have an ‘easy dinner’ method of making chicken pies for those nights when you have zero time to get some good-enough food on the table. Basically I layer spinach and feta on 1/4 of a chicken breast, season with garlic salt and salt ‘n pepper and wrap this in flaky pastry. Too easy. I wanted to revisit this recipe …
Cook Eat | Mini Frittata Recipe
We are crazy about eggs in this house {I’m pretty sure I’ve told you that about 100 times already!}, but everyone in our house LOVES eggs. We go through around 2 trays a week and eat eggs made every way imaginable, a couple of times a week for breakfast, sometimes for lunch and sometimes for dinner. We all know we …
{CLOSED} Cook Eat | Miso Hoki Recipe + GIVEAWAY!
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 …

Eat | Pitango Solos
I was so happy to spend Wednesday morning as a guest of Pitango and learn about their new Solos range; fast, tasty, home-cooked style meals for one. Monday nights in our house are particularly crazy, Ethan has rugby practice then has to be flanneled off at the field and bustled into his scouts uniform only to arrive home pretty exhausted at 8pm. …
Cook Eat | Easy Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom Meatballs
This recipe {my own!} has been on our weekly rotation for a month or so now and we LOVE these! Dave and I were inspired to make chicken meatballs after eating at our local {Hallertau}, where Dave enjoyed their Chicken & Leek Meatballs. These are better, I promise. Chicken mince is a favourite of mine as it requires no chopping, …
Product Review | Maggi Extra Delicious Noodles
Our family were sent The Maggi Extra Delicious Chicken Noodles with ‘Invisible Wholegrain’ to sample. Luckily Chicken is the ONLY flavour we would actually purchase so we felt somewhat qualified to comment! The problem we have with instant noodles in general is that they just taste SO unhealthy {maybe because they are?}, so despite the fact that we quite like …
Cook Eat | Smoked Kahawai Pie Recipe
I got inspired by NZ Masterchef recently and decided we needed to add a fish pie to our meal rotation. Not a canned fish pie though, and in terms of dollars and cents, buying a smoked fish is pretty much the cheapest protein you could buy to add to a meal so I do declare this meal Super-Budget-Friendly! Smoked Kahawai …
Cook | Dave’s Turkey Meatballs
We love turkey mince. It’s super tasty and low fat. It makes a yummy substitute for beef in tacos, lasagne etc. So this is how Dave Jack makes turkey meatballs. Combine 500gm turkey mince, 1 egg, approx half cup breadcrumbs, 1/3 onion diced, chopped garlic to taste, tomato sauce, mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning in a bowl. Mix. …
