Citrus Chickpea Salad

fun fact: chickpeas are rich in folate

It was jump rope day at the gym yesterday and I’m proud to report that I managed 500 skips (jumps) before collapsing in a sweaty, stinking heap.

Zesty Palm Oil Dressing

it’s tangy and sweet, like all good dressings should be

The original intention was to make this for a salad (a girl can get tired of Caesar).

Roast Asparagus with Lime Cilantro Vinaigrette

one way to liven up a pretty dull veg

We’re still missing Dog terribly (I’m sorry, I’ll stop going on about it soon. Until then, feel free to scroll to the recipe and avoid all this grief-stricken word vomit)

Baked Chicken Goujons with Garlic Lime Dipping Sauce

gluten free finger food!

Now that the madness of Easter binging has died down (confession: I went for ice cream instead of an Easter egg. It wasn’t very Easter-ish but I’ll eat ice cream anytime, anywhere) it’s time to get back to ‘proper’ eating.

Cassava, Coconut & Lime Pudding

it’s rice pudding…without the rice!

One of the things I love most about being an expat is discovering the cuisine of the Caribbean – a cuisine that I was previously completely unfamiliar with.

Mango Mint Salsa

I de-seeded the jalapeno. Leave them in for a bit more bite

I served this with fish, but I imagine it’d be good in any salsa type situation.

Lime & Coconut Prawn Curry

if you don’t eat rice, serve over sweet potato

This recipe should really be called “My Brother’s Amazing Prawn Curry”, but I was worried that was too obscure and lots of you would think: “Why should I care about this chick’s brother and his curry?”
