The boys went camping… so I packed the menu 😂

Real-life Recipes. Hey Reader, What a week it’s been! Last weekend I prepped a weekend’s worth of food for five very important boys in my life, while also working on a very exciting (and still top secret) project. Oh, and my second book is now officially available around the world, which still feels pretty surreal. My hubby (Heath), dad, brother, nephew and son headed off for a boys-only camping and fishing trip. Heath and my brother are both great cooks in their own right, but I know what...

Me in a jet boat

Real-life Recipes. Hey Reader, Well. We just got back from Queenstown and it completely reminded me why everyone raves about it. ❤️ This definitely wasn’t the type of holiday we could do growing up. It was a dream to take my parents here in my 20’s and incredibly special returning now with my own family with a wiser, more appreciative lens.

Real-life Recipes. Hey Reader, Big life news... After 20 years, the girl has joined the gym 😂 I'm working out with a trainer and I currently can't move, which is fun. But, I'm feeling amazing. Behind the scenes I've been working really hard on some beautiful new recipes and getting more content out to you. I'm focusing more on planning and organisation and just finding ways to remove the pressure, because I'm feeling it this year. I feel like everyone is so busy right now and there's just so...

Nicole cooking during a photoshoot

Real-life Recipes. Hey Reader, Wow. There have been a lot of exciting things happening lately and I feel like I finally have a second to sit down and tell you all about them properly. First things first… Book 3 update. I was blown away. Literally. 😂 We’ve officially wrapped the photography for Book 3 and earlier this week we shot the cover. When I tell you there was chaos involved trying to get “the perfect shot”… there was chaos. At one point one of the team pulled out a mini leaf blower and...
