Turkey chilli poblano

Birds of a feather flock together - and seeing as I'm working on a bird theme this week in my meal planning ... here is a recipe that combines turkey with my love for a slow cooked one pot wonder!

Sweet-glazed chicken

Some people avoid fruit in savoury dishes - if that's you ... then probably best to jump to another recipe on this blog, because today I have gone all out on the fruit front. This recipe combines chicken with delicious apricots, pears and the juice and zest of two oranges!

Braised duck

Australians eat a lot of chicken! But what about duck? Why not branch out a little and try another friend of the feathered family. Some people avoid duck because they believe it to be fatty - but the fact of the matter is that the duck breast is quiet lean when you render off all the fat (and that can be poured off and saved to make some delicious roast potatoes later).

Meal planning Monday

Some days we eat meat, some days we eat vegetarian options. This week I'm focusing on poultry and the fact that often more than chicken is readily available to us now at our local supermarket. So, bird, bird, bird ... Bird is the word this week.

Wordless Wednesday

Here are my photos for this wordless wednesday - a mixture of cooking, experiencing the wonders that motherhood brings and celebrating the joy of Autumn in Canberra. I hope you've had an excellent week filled with love and laughter xox

Cooking for the queen

I heard on The Project that the position of chef or royal cook for the Queen of England was up for grabs - I may not be Jamie Oliver but I think that I could give it a crack!
