Evie: thoroughly involved in secret messy making
Dexter: proper adventurous boy; bruise and scab on nose and fat, split lip

Food truck goodness

Roger has been working like a crazy man the past few months, so when we can snatch some family time we do. On Sunday we had an adventure in the city together. We caught a tram, visited some food trucks and explored the museum - it was exhausting, but wonderful.

Food trucks are a new, hip thing in Adelaide, and on Sunday we visited Fork in the Road (36 food trucks plus live music!) I took some pics of my gorgeous family tucking in...

go on Dex, I bet he'll share it

those eyes

ooh, delicious boy

 first try of a selfie with Evie, at least she is in the photo and looking gorgeous!

ok, so I'm in the pic this time, but it's a bit blurry, them's the breaks!

 mmm, Sneaky Pickle, so delicious!

Evie: roar! love the sassy new haircut, no more fights about school hair
Dexter: pointing at dad behind the camera, a real daddy's boy

My go-to recipes

Here are some of my favourite internet recipes, I'd love to share them with you:

- chili con lentils - a really hearty meal, we love to eat it with avocado and corn chips. My cheat is to add a can of tomatoes instead of real ones, and to add chopped capsicum instead of fancy roasted ones.

- falafel - delicious with salad, and the leftovers are super tasty for lunch with bacon and eggs

- lentil salad - filling and zingy

- masoor dhal - the only dhal I've ever enjoyed! the toppings are delicious, we eat this about once a week

 - tortilla  - man these are amazing, but too much dinner effort for me at the moment

- brownies - this recipe really makes the best brownies ever, so yummy

- granola - I bake this once a week, perfect for breakfast served with natural yoghurt and fresh fruit (and a coffee!)

- dark and stormy - my summertime relaxation beverage

Any recipes you'd like to pass on to me in the comments??
