If you haven’t figured out yet from this post and this post, I really hate seeing a quality lamb leg go to waste after a roast. It’s virtually impossible to strip all the meat away, and seeing flesh go in the bin is such a sad sight. Thankfully, this is a sight we needn’t see – enter Thrifty Lamb Soup, which, as the name suggests, allows us to be thrifty, ensuring that no part of that beautiful animal goes to waste (plus you get a delicious and dirt-cheap meal out of the whole experience – plus you kitchen will smell divine). Winning all round!

My Go-to Side Dish or “Starter”
I’ve mentioned my adoration of organic broccoli with olive oil, salt and pepper several times before. However, I thought that seeing as I eat this dish pretty much every day, either as a light lunch, side dish with fish at night or a “starter” before a dessert of a few organic bananas with inca inchi butter, I’d better give my beloved greens their own recipe post.
A Day On My Plate
A blogger fave of mine, Megan from detoxinista.com, writes regular posts entitled; What I Ate, where she shares photos and explanations of what she’s eating lately. I find it weirdly fascinating to take a glimpse at someone else’s nutrition habits. I’m guessing this strange interest is what makes me cut out to be a nutritionist.
Sex-noise Salmon with Seductive Veggie (s)Mash
This meal is seriously worthy of it’s kinky title. The salmon alone will induce the foodgasm of a lifetime. No joke, you’ll be hard pressed to contain the urge to happy dance in your seat and grunt with delight as you savour each flavour-bomb mouthful. Then you discover the seductive bed of mixed vegetable mash. The playful side dish keeps drawing you back for more as you take time to appreciate the moorish creaminess, subtle spiciness, addictive sweetness and grounding saltiness. The crispy skin garnish takes the presentation and texture to another level – who doesn’t love a well-seasoned, absurdly crunchy and deliciously fatty salmon skin?

Bang-For-Your-Buck Raw Vegan Protein “Peanut Butter” Brownies (nut-free)
Damn that title is long. But I couldn’t just say “boring old brownies”. No point of difference there. I couldn’t simply label them “raw vegan chocolate brownies” – the internet has enough of those making the rounds at the minute. I needed to add in the (nut-free) specification, because although these treats smell like they have peanut butter in them (thanks to to addition of inca inchi seeds), I assure you they don’t – hence air quoted “peanut butter”. I like the bang-for-your-buck prefix because it’s playful and sums the recipe up dandily.

Inca What?
My new favourite food is the inca inchi seed. I am so glad that Cyndi O’Meara from Changing Habits has gone to the effort of making this delicious nutritional powerhouse available to the everyday Australian.
I don’t loosely use the term “superfood” because frankly, most real foods are “super” in their own right. However, this seed is pretty damn special, whether we dub it with the “super” label or not.
The Quickest Easiest Gravy
A few weeks ago I posted my super quick and easy “instant” gravy recipe on the Facebook page. I thought I’d better have it up on here too, as it’s such a goodie, and makes sure that not one drop of the delicious roast meat juices goes to waste.
Basic Jam and “Jelly”
Merry Christmas Eve Spud Muffins,
If you fancy the idea of making your own cranberry sauce or “jelly” to go with the Turkey, ham, salmon (heck, even just slathering it on organic sprouted or sourdough bread with a shite-tonne of avocado or macadamia butter if you’re veg or vegan) this year, I think you’ll appreciate the simplicity of the following recipe.
Saltbush Lamb’s Liver Pate
Pate is a funny thing. It’s a delicacy, rather trendy and makes regular appearances at most common dinner parties. Generally speaking, most people like it’s smooth texture, rich flavour and satisfying nutrient-density. Liver on the other hand is another story. It overwhelms people. Grosses them out. Revolts them. The idea of regularly consuming organ meat is a foreign concept to a generation raised on more “premium” cuts of meat. Newsflash … pate is made from liver and liver itself is nothing to be afraid of.
