Mexican Blked Eggs
to being nice and simple and easy, this recipe is also really tasty! You start by making a sauce with a base of onions, garlic, cumin and chipotle chili powder which is filled out with the tomatoes and black beans and finally finished off with some fresh cilantro. This sauce is then poured into a baking dish and topped with eggs and cheese and then it is baked in the oven until the eggs are cooked and the cheese is all melted and good! As you can see by the ingredients, this dish is also hearty and yet

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake
How could this not be good though? It has three of the best flavors, banana, peanut butter and chocolate all together in one decadent morning treat.
Note that the sweetness of this smoothie comes from the ripeness of the bananas so be sure to use some that are well ripened. If you still would like it a little bit sweeter you could add in a little honey or cut back a touch on the cocoa powder.

the ultimate Lemon Tart
One thing I was happy to see was that there were no fancy-pants techniques or equipment necessary (which is often the case with professional chef’s recipes). I think the trick to a perfect, smooth and tangy lemon tart is to make sure you bake it at a really low temperature so the eggs don’t get a chance to go into shock and
WATERMELON & MINT ICE LOLLIES
use up a whole watermelon, rinds and all.’ The flesh has been blended, mixed with mint infused sugar syrup and lime, then frozen into ice lollies. The rinds were pickled, which is something I’ve been meaning to do for years. I had some at a mate’s BBQ at the weekend and decided enough was enough, I could no longer live without them. They’re special. I’ve used the recipe from the Pitt Cue Co. cookery book if you want to have a bash yourself. The very top layer of skin is removed when making the pickles, so that went into the
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quinoa Bowls
Since the bowls were looking a little one note in the color department and because they needed a little something cool and creamy to take the edge off the heat from the chili powder, I decided to top them with the most glorious cilantro cream drizzle. The base of the drizzle is plain Greek yogurt which I then flavored with cilantro, fresh lime juice, a pinch of garlic and chili powder, and a little agave nectar for sweetness. The drizzle is completely healthy, but you feel like you are getting something
Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks – gluten free
That’s right, even the hand model loved it. But that’s the beauty of this crust, you can’t really taste the cauliflower and it really does hold together, you don’t have to worry that when you pick up a breadstick or a slice of pizza that it will all fall apart. You see the trick is the eggs and the cheese,

Moist Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake
After spending many years searching for a good 'pound' cake that wasn't dry, or flavourless, I decided to experiment and make my own recipe up with different flavour combinations to see if I could really get a moist cake. Once you've tried this recipe, I am sure you will make it time and time again. So here's the recipe, and enjoy!
You will need a loaf tin, mine measures 30cm x 12cm, and 8cm deep. (12 inch pan)
The batter may also fit in a 9 inch loaf pan. If you have any left over, make some cup cakes!
THE BEST CAST IRON PIZZA
I wish I could because it’s probably the best pizza I have ever had BUT the true genius is actually Jenny. If you want an in depth tutorial she has a video up on her YouTube channel. Think Pizza Hut pizza… but this pizza actually tastes good, no amazing! I can’t believe I even compared this to Pizza Hut Pizza. The crust is perfectly crisp. Seriously I could talk about this pizza for days but I won’t annoy you. You just have to trust me that this pizza is worth the wait.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup water, cold

4 oz. mozzarella & provolone mix cheese

The Best Sandwich
sandwich scene than the iconic beef-and-cheese hoagie. The next time you're in Philadelphia, seek out one of these sandwiches instead.
Philadelphians are fond of proclaiming, with a certain grease-stained pride, that their town is a sandwich town. Of course, the way it’s worked out, one single sandwich had ended up dominating the conversation. While it’s great that the cheesesteak has gone global, all that Whiz-drenched hullabaloo tends to distract from the many deserving between-bread options Philly has to offer. Here are just three worthy cheesesteak alternatives worth seeking out on an eating tour through the 215.
Cherry Pie Bars
Cherry. Pie. Bars. Everything I love in one insanely delicious dessert! I’m yet to make a cherry pie, it’s in my future plans (my list is forever long though so we’ll see how soon it comes), but for now I thought these looked just as good as a cherry pie but more modern and simplistic. Bars are the “it” thing you know :). I should start a bakery dedicated to bars. No, really it would just be fun to have a cupcake, cake and cookie bakery one day, but I’m not ready for the work that would take now.
Enjoy!
