Salt Baked Beetroot with Mozzarella + Lemon Salsa

Its been a while since i did a food post.

Ive been feeling a bit like I've lost my 'cooking mojo' lately

Its usually something i love doing, but i seem to be stuck in a rut….

I was trawling Pinterest last night some inspiration & saw this piece of mouth watering deliciousness!

Salt Baked Beetroot with Mozzarella + Lemon Salsa

L'Americano Espresso Bar by Coco Republic

Coco republic has launched its first foray into the hospitality world with L'Americano

An espresso bar inspired by 'the opulent bachelorism of an American holidaying on the italian coast in the 1950's.

 In particular, the novel The Talented Mr Ripley & its protagonist Dickie Greenleaf'.

The interiors by Alexander & Co. in conjunction with Co co Republic ooze with style & old world charm.

A green white & tan colour scheme features striped awnings, timber, leather, marble & glamourous lighting.

The breakfast & lunch menu celebrates the artisan food heritage of the Italian Riviera.

L'Americano opens this month.

Alfresco

This time of the year always makes me want to dine 'alfresco'.

Casual & abundant in the fresh air!

Some inspiration for a weekend event perhaps? Have a great one whatever you are doing :)

Pumpkin, Chorizo & Kale Frittata

A girlfriend made this Donna Hay frittata for lunch for us the other day & it was awesome!

We all went back for seconds :)

Vegetable Patch

I love gardening.

There is something so satisfying seeing something you have planted grow. A few weeks ago i went to an event hosted by Jamie Durie & we were all given a packet of coriander seeds to take home. Last weekend i planted them in pot we had free & what do you know, yesterday it was full of green spouts! My excitement was somewhat childlike i suspect ;)

I also have a pack of seeds for baby tomatoes so they'll be finding a spot this weekend! We grow rosemary, mint, oregano, chives & have a bay tree - one day i would love to have a big vegggie garden where we can grow as much of our food as possible!

Macaroon vs Macaron!

Personally i love both - so whichever i ask for i am going to be happy :)

Saturday Breaky

Doesn't this look like the perfect weekend big breakky!

{and that would be me on my phone about to instagram it haha}

Mothers Day

This mothers day we are having both our parents & my nanna over for dinner!

Here are some of my inspiration photos for our meal & celebration!

What are you up to?

Tea Party

Sometimes i just get the urge to have a totally over the top girly tea party. 

When we were in France i made my husband drive us through Limogue in the hope it would be all over the place & half the price...

No such luck! ( i think i thought i was going to fill my suitcase full of teapots!)

My dream tea party would look something like this!
