Vietnamese-Style Pork Sandwich

Do you enjoy banh mi, Vietnamese Pork Rolls? This street food is one of my favourite choices for lunch.

However, with a family history of diabetes, I need to be careful with the carbohydrates and sugars in my diet.

Christmas Almond and Orange Pudding

A gluten-free and dairy-free Christmas pudding!

I make a couple of Christmas puddings each year and wanted to try something different from the fruit pudding I normally make. One my friends made an almond and orange cake so I searched the web and adapted a couple of recipes to create a Christmas Almond and Orange Pudding. It's taken a couple of years but I think the recipe is finally ready to share!

Away from Home - Melbourne 2018

Last month we were back in Melbourne for a flying visit. I was attending a conference and added a couple of days so that Hubby and I could have a mini-break. And of course, that meant discovering new eats and visiting old favourites.
