Gourmet Toastie

On February 5, 2021January 7, 2021 By theurbanfarmhouseIn FoodLeave a comment

When I first thought about writing this, I thought 'who the heck needs instructions to make a toastie?'. But then, after making the same Toasted Sandwich for dinner for the 3rd night in a row I thought 'EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS COMBO'. So here we are, part of me feels like a goose …

Triple Choc Cookies

On December 28, 2020December 7, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn Food2 Comments

I'm calling it - this is the best cookie recipe to ever exist. Yes, I might be tooting my own horn, but every time I make these sweet treats, people are raving about how good they are. It's a family recipe, that I know off by heart and is a hallmark of my childhood. Plenty …

Simple Vegetable Sauce

On August 10, 2020October 5, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn FoodLeave a comment

I’m unable to compost due to the fact that I live on the 9th floor of an apartment building. This means we throw a lot of our vegetable scraps out. In an attempt to limit our wastage, my housemates and I have begun making large batches of vegetable sauce.  This stuff is so versatile! We’ve eaten …

Need a simple, go-to salad recipe that looks hella fancy but takes minimal effort? Then this is the recipe for you. This is my go-to salad for family BBQ’s, potluck nights and Christmas lunch.

Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic Dip

On May 3, 2020June 8, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn FoodLeave a comment

To say that my family enjoys food is the understatement of the century. Yes, we enjoy eating it, but we enjoy the labour of love that goes into producing hearty meals and food that is good for the soul. We love sitting around the table together and sharing meals. We love squeezing in as many …

Basil Pesto

On April 5, 2020March 24, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn Food1 Comment

If there’s one food to epitomize my childhood, its Basil Pesto. My Nana used to make it and we looked forward to her visits where she’d always bring us a little jar.  The recipe was then passed onto my mum and then onto me. We eat pesto with pasta, slather it onto fresh white bread and …

Banana Bread

On March 29, 2020March 11, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn Food1 Comment

This banana bread is low in refined sugar and super easy to make. The inclusion of chia seeds adds a punch of fibre and the dark choc melts adds a little touch of decadence. Being the dairy farmer's granddaughter that I am, I have to take this opportunity to promote purchasing and consuming milk that …

Healthy Pumpkin and Cranberry Bread

On March 5, 2020April 15, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn FoodLeave a comment

I sort of created this recipe by accident. I set out to make pumpkin bread, but had extra dried cranberries so chucked them in too. I then substituted a few ingredients to my usual recipe and hey presto! Here we are... Sugar free, packed with nutrients and great fresh or toasted, this is the recipe …

Choc-Peanut Nutty ‘Nola

On January 20, 2020March 28, 2020 By theurbanfarmhouseIn FoodLeave a comment

I’d gone through a phase recently where I wasn’t much a fan of breakfast. I couldn’t find anything I liked and didn’t really enjoy eating the standard, plain and boring cereal or vegemite on toast. I’ve infrequently made granola over the last few years and always loved the flexibility of it. The key ingredients are …
