Asian-Inspired Shrimp, Veggies & Noodles with Ginger Peanut Sauce

Shrimp, noodles, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, red pepper, onion and bok choy tossed in a ginger-peanut sauce.

Sauce: peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, garlic, chilli-garlic sauce, sesame oil and a little chicken broth.

I cooked the shrimp first and set them aside, then stir-fried the vegetables in stages so they kept some texture. Added the noodles and sauce, loosened it with a little noodle water, then returned the shrimp and added the bok choy leaves at the end.

Finished with chopped peanuts and sesame seeds.

It started with homegrown tomatoes and fresh basil from the garden. 🍅🌿

I roasted the tomatoes with red pepper, carrots, onion and a whole head of garlic until everything was soft, sweet and a little charred around the edges.

Then into the blender with chicken stock, a little cream, a healthy portion of fresh basil, red pepper flakes and a few simple seasonings.

The soup ended up exactly where I wanted it - tomato forward, rich without being heavy, a little sweet, a little spicy, and full of really deep roasted flavour.

And because grilled cheese and tomato soup belong together, I made golden grilled cheese sandwiches on rosemary sourdough bread (not quite ready in the pic), cut the sandwiches into croutons and threw them in as it was served.

Honestly, they took it over the top.

Delicious food, made with love. 🍜

A rainy day calls for something warm, buttery and savoury.

These flaky biscuits are packed with old cheddar and crispy bacon, then brushed with garlic butter and topped with a little extra cheddar before baking.

Once out of the oven, they get one more light brush of garlic butter for that glossy, savoury finish.

Buttery layers, salty bacon, sharp cheddar and that little hit of garlic make them exactly the kind of snack that belongs on a rainy afternoon. ☔️

Sometimes the classics just hit the spot.

Bell peppers stuffed with Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions, garlic, diced sweet peppers and basmati rice, all brought together with a rich tomato sauce, plenty of Italian seasoning and fresh basil. A good layer of old cheddar tucked inside, and another melted right over the top.

Nothing complicated. Just hearty, comforting, from-scratch food with loads of flavour.

Delicious with intention. ❤️

Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake loaded with blueberries, topped with a brown sugar cinnamon crumble, and brightened with fresh lemon zest.

The sour cream keeps the cake beautifully moist and tender, while the blueberries bake into little jammy pockets throughout.

Sweet, fresh, buttery, and just a little decadent - exactly what coffee cake should be.

Delicious with intention. Made with love. ❤️
