HAPPY NATIONAL EAT YOUR VEGETABLES DAY reposted fromSandy Cadiz-Smith Summer’s here – well sort of – today’s decidedly autumnal actually.

I made an impromptu version…

Chocolate Date and Banana Breakfast Bowl
This one goes out to the late Beach City Burrito. Which closed a long time ago and has been many things since but still haunts my memory with its date shakes. When I was learning to surf as a youngin with my dad, the mention of a date shake was a sure…
Empanada
As you know I have been living in Spain for the last couple of years and one thing I realised I was missing was the fish empanada ( Empanada de Atún ), a flavoursome pasty like creation available at every good bakery. It’s a lunchtime favourite…

Jicama Energy Balls
Jicama Energy Balls In Mexico we have an impressive array of traditional sweets, and I think I have only tasted like a quarter of them. A few days ago I heard about Jicama Candy, which honestly I had never tasted before. It really caught my attention that the main ingredient…
Spinach Salad w/ Mashed Sardine Garbanzos
This is another kitchen-sink kind of salad. Salads don’t have to be boring as long as you have some good ole pantry staples. Avocado doesn’t…
