Seaweed Chips

Move over kale, there's a new guy in town that was just asking to be turned into a healthy snack…

…seaweed!

I love seaweed but it seems to have dropped out of my diet lately so wanted to make something that was simply seaweed.  I've had Tao Kae Noi seaweed snacks many a time and although delicious, they are very oily.

Then it dawned on me…if kale can be made into a crispy treat then why the hell can't seaweed join the veggie crisp party as well?!

Home Grown Oyster Mushrooms from GroCycle

There really is nothing quite like using ingredients that you've grown yourself, is there?  I've tried chillies, herbs and even some beans but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would have fresh gourmet oyster mushrooms sitting in the corner of my kitchen, ready to harvest!

GroCycle very kindly sent me a mushroom growing kit to try out for free and it's been a really fascinating project!  I bet it would also be fun for your little foodies to try.

Oyster Mushrooms with Tofu

 Oyster mushrooms are my absolute favourite mushrooms so you can imagine how excited I was to actually have some growing in my kitchen.  No, I don't have an issue with my kitchen being dark and humid - I got a growing kit from GroCycle and after days and days watching them grow (at a rather impressive speed!) they are ready to harvest!

Photo a Day: December

Happy new year!  I can't believe that I've completed my "photo a day" challenge (only missing 5 days out of the entire year!).  I have a pretty poor memory so having a photo for each day of the year is a great way for me to look back at what I've been up to.  I'm definitely keeping this resolution up for 2015!
