  • Friday afternoon funk be gone - I don't know why but today I've been in a bit of a funk. Probably just a bit of a case of spending a little too much time alone this week, and not doing anything that feels particularly useful. The minutiae of life took up the week, you know how that is?! Life hasn't really given me any lemons this week, but it's just been a little bit nothing spesh. But, when neighbours give you lemons, it's time to make a cake. And share a slice, and then the week feels a little bit better after all 🍰 . . . #sweetpeadarlingheart #beautifulcuisines #thebakefeed #f52grams #f52 #feedfeed #foodstagram #foodblogfeed #myopenkitchen #thenewhealthy #hautecuisines #thechalkboardeats #huffposttaste #thekitchn #beautifulcuisines #onthetable #gloobyfood @foodiefeatures @thefeedfeed #kitchenbowl #beautifulfood #epicurious #lemoncake #yoghurtcake #amazingfood #glutenfreebaking #sugarfreebaking #sugarfreecake #glutenfreecake #grainfreecake #tablesituation
  • Another birthday cake option? Chocolate Macadamia Plum Cake for @fullybookedwomen a little while back, might give it a spring makeover and top with some rhubarb instead ❤️ . . . . #sweetpeadarlingheart #foodblogfeed #thebakefeed #f52grams #f52 #feedfeed #foodstagram #foodblogfeed #myopenkitchen #thenewhealthy #hautecuisines #thechalkboardeats #huffposttaste #thekitchn #beautifulcuisines #onthetable #gloobyfood @foodiefeatures @thefeedfeed #sweetpeadarlingheart #chocolatecake #rhubarb #grainfree #glutenfreebaking #healthyishbaking #healthtreatsfeature #sugarfreebaking
  • It's birthday season in our house! Does your family have a birthday season like ours does? This cake will probably be getting a workout, it was a firm favourite last year ❤️ we call it crazy delicious - a Crazy Delicious Orange Cannellini Bean Cake inspired by @we_are_food . . . 📸 by @jacinta__moore . . . #fellowmag #onmytable #fromwhereistand #gatheringslikethese #thebakefeed #quietchaotics #lifeandthyme #thatsdarling #sweetpeadarlingheart #tastemade #heresmyfood #birthdaycake #foodblogfeed #aquietstyle #thatauthenticfeeling #cakelover #healthycakes #tablesituation #plantbased #eatmoreplants #eatinghealthy #wholefoodrecipes #inspiremyinstagram #buzzfeedtasty #makeitblissful #flashofdelight #dessertlover
  • #ihavethisthingwithgiantsilverbeet 🌱So, this funny thing happened. I've installed a watering system (very #homemade 😆) in our backyard, and when we've had rain it runs off our rainwater tanks, but when they're empty it uses mains water. I've really stretched it's capacity to the limits, which means that on mains it's just a trickle, but when the tanks are on it's got good pressure 💦 anyhow, the tanks were empty so I changed the settings to accommodate the trickle. Then went away for a few days. Evidently, Spring got busy, we had some rain and it switched to tank mode - the result was GIANT silverbeet when we returned, because everything had been having a very good water indeed. #soakitup 🚰So, I guess it's just #greensineverything for a little while. Including this #spanakopita which is always a firm fave in our house, but especially so right now 🤣 #tamethejungle . . .

  • Whoa! It is so Springy right now!!! The flowers are out, the bees are everywhere and it's sunny and warm, yes, yes, yes 🙌 the garden is bursting with life, the first of our strawberries are plumping up and the edible flowers are looking fine, just right for a little springtime treat - like these fruit juice jellies with berries and flowers in the current issue of @hellolunchlady mag - the base is just fruit juice, so you can make any flavour you like and there's no added sugar; cause kid's love jelly, and I figure this is the best way to make it! . . . . .

  • Are you a gardener? Like, do you like to try and grow things with whatever space you have - be that a succulent on your windowsill, a couple of plants in pots somewhere outside, or a vegetable patch? I love to garden and have definitely learnt more over the years about what each plant likes or needs. I am still by no means an expert, but things are growing better and becoming more productive! I have learnt that citrus 'don't like things underfoot' which basically means don't plant anything under them - and have had way more success putting anything citrus-sy in a pot to help prevent this (I am a chronic over planter basically because I get too excited and what to plant all the things, but don't have all the space!). One lesson I have had to learn over the years is to actually pick things when they are doing well. I mean, sometimes it can feel like it takes so long for something to grow well, and that it therefore feels wrong to actually pick the thing when it's ready! But I've learnt that stuff actually seems to grow better when you pick it?!?! Strange, but true - in my experience at least! So enjoy what you have grown! Pick it and eat it! Seems silly to say, but something that took me a few years to 'learn' 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, if you're still reading, good on you 😆 and your reward is a recipe for Rhubarb and Oat Bars that is now up on the blog, using rhubarb from the garden (which I often forget to pick) and which makes a yummy arvo tea. Also, lots of thoughts on how important it is to be nice to each other ❤️ and to kids, thanks to watching @mrrogersmovie and remembering how important it is to share the love 💗 . . . #sweetpeadarlingheart #livefullyalive #holdthemoments #livethelittlethings #intentionalliving #theslowdowncollective #asecondofwhimsy #wondermore #thebakefeed #theartofslowliving #creativityfound #momentslikethese #growyourown #homegrown #rhubarb #glutenfreebaking #wontyoubemyneighbor #soulfood #livelittlethings #growsomethinggreen #urbangarden #inspiremyinstagram #heitermoments #growyourownfood #urbanorganicgardener #simplepleasures #veggiegarden #alifeofintention #instafeast #thatauthenticfeeling
  • Had quite the emotional week after watching @mrrogersmovie one day followed by @wonderthemovie the next - two total heartbreakers in the best kind of way 💔 I quietly wept my way through both films, marvelling at the strength of children. Life can be tough, for kids too, which I think is important to remember, amongst the bustle of it all. Kindness and love is surely the way through 💗 . . . . #sweetpeadarlingheart #beautifulcuisines #huffposttaste #tastingtable #bareaders #rhubarb #fellowmag #onmytable #fromwhereistand #gatheringslikethese #stilllifephotography #foodphotography #melbournefoodphotographer #lessonsinlife #allwhatsbeautiful #thatauthenticfeeling #lifeandthyme #livefullyalive #holdthemoments #livethelittlethings #intentionalliving #theslowdowncollective #asecondofwhimsy #wondermore #littlestoriesofmylife #theeverydayproject #inspiremyinstagram #momentsofmine #creativityfound #communityovercompetition
  • How is that for a look of loyalty and love 🐕 There's always the talk of dogs in our house, whether to get one (or more like when) and what kind we would get. Every dog that goes by gets pointed out, with declaration that all of them are lovely. I think I'm the kind of person that values loyalty in a dog above almost all else, my heart melts at those dogs who wait outside, watching for their owner patiently but intently. Any dog recommendations? I mean, we're not getting one, or are we 〰 can't quite remember which birthday we promised one for 🤣 but all the birthdays are coming up, so I might need to have some answers ready! . . . . photo taken at @lyttletonstores of the gorgeous @jacintaparissi and one of her lovely dogs 🐕🐕 . . . #sweetpeadarlingheart #melbourne #loyalty #dogsofinstagram #dogportrait #dogphotography #animalphotography #petportrait #animalstagram #yourdogstoday #dog_features #dogs_of_instagram #topdogphoto #dogsandpals
  • #breadgoals 🥖 a couple of years back I baked my own sourdough, until a creepy crawly got in my starter one night, and I just didn't have the heart to start all over again 😆 but sourdough seems to be cropping up everywhere at the moment, with my friends all baking their own.... maybe it's time to get started again ✨ . . . a little photo I took for @lyttletonstores on their #cookbook creation workshop with @luisabrimble thanks for the modelling @harvest_farms 👌 . #sweetpeadarlingheart #beautifulcuisines #huffposttaste #f52grams #feedfeed #buzzfeast #foodgawker #foodphotographer #melbournefoodphotographer #cookmagazine #fellowmag #onmytable #fromwhereistand #gatheringslikethese #thebakefeed #sourdough #artisanbread #sourdoughbread #naturalstarter #levain #thekitchn #thatauthenticfeeling #realbread
  • Work buddy. Always ready to lend a paw, circle round your feet or taste test a dropped morsel 🐈 I've learnt my lesson though and always keep an eye and an ear out when there's food on the plate 😜 . . . . #sweetpeadarlingheart #hygge #catsofig #igcats #cutecats #catinstagram #workbuddy #catofinstagram #topcatphoto #furryfriends #cat_features #catlife #bestmeow #cats_of_instagram #cutecatcrew #catstagram #catlove
