carefully measured

I’ve taken to baking a wee bit lately. Be it cakes, cupcakes or sweets – I’ve been giving it a crack. I had been hamstrung when it came to trying certain new recipes as I’ve never owned kitchen scales before. Well all that changed today, as Timi brought me a shiny set for my very own… he’s the bestest! No more comparing visually to a stick of butter portions or converters online!!

field of dreams

Upon a recent visit to Grill’d, I was pleased to see more than just the token lentil/tofu pattie for us non-meat eaters. Grill’d have put together the ‘Field of Dreams burger” which consist of a grilled field mushroom, roasted capsicum, tasty cheese, basil pesto, cos lettuce, and herb mayo. You then have the choice of bread either panini or wholemeal bun. Couple this with some of the Grill’d herbed chips and your set. Their burgers look amazingly good and they make them all in front of you. All of the vego burgers are 100% vegan too.

Check out the menu and store information etc, here.
