SUNDAY: 'Ave an Avocado

Yay its avocado season again. No more ridiculously expensive prices and more creamy, green Avocado. To celebrate I dined on Tomato & Avocado Toast for Sunday lunch. Mmm




One of my fave thing to do with avocado is make a salad of just avocado and feta. So good!

SATURDAY: A Picnic in the Park

Spring is my favourite time to visit Wellington Botanic Gardens. Tulips in bloom, Magnolias adorning the otherwise bare trees, the air warming up. So what better way to spend a sunny, but still crisp, Saturday afternoon, than enjoying a picnic in beautiful garden surrounds?

Baguette served with chicken, salad leaves, tomato, camembert (from Kapiti Cheese), fruit and choc chip cookies.

Some pics of the gorgeous gardens:

Ciao for now...

THURSDAY: A night at the Ballet

I had a lovely night last night, going to see the Ballet (Cinderella) with my Mum who has just got back from Europe. Beforehand we went out for Dinner to Zico, and italian restaurant in Wellington. I had the Quail on Truffled Tagliatelle while Mum had Lamb Cutlets on Parmesan Risotto. Our meals were nice, but nothing to wow about. Maybe we've both just become to fussy after dining with the real Italians in Rome. And also service in NZ in general is shocking compared to what you recieve in Europe, it can really ruin a good night out.

Anyway, apologies are due as I forgot to take my camera with me last night, so alas, no photos.

However to keep you going, here was my simple, yet delish lunch:



Toastie Sandwhich of Semi-dried tomato, courgette, baby spinach, mushroom, pesto & cheese.

And thats it for me,

FRIDAY: The simple things in life.

I love grocery day. Stocking up on food is one of my favourite things to do. And I especially love eating a simple lunch of fresh produce when I get home from shopping.





Crusty french baguette, garlic mayonaise, salad leaves, thinly sliced tomato, shredded chicken breast and a soft goats cheese. Accompanied by a glass of freshly squeezed Orange Juice.

Sometimes its the simple things that can give you the most pleasure......
