15-minute tuna tomato spaghetti 🍝
plus, thiiick cinnamon sugar-rolled cookies + this week's things I'm loving (chop, sizzle, wow)
It's my birthday week! 🎂 To celebrate, I took the opportunity to bake my own cake and simultaneously experimented with a new 'Chocolate Birthday Cake' recipe to share (pictured below). I love a light, moist cake—especially one that maintains its moisture even after a few days, and this one does just that. The key is to use olive oil and flaxseed meal in the mixture, which makes for easy one-bowl baking, a win-win. This cake is super chocolatey without being overly rich, making it the ideal 'birthday party cake.' I hope to include this one in my new desserts eBook set to launch mid-year, just a few more tests to perfect! If you're eager to try it before then, let me know, and I'll send it to you 🤗.

🍝 15-Minute Tuna Tomato Spaghetti with Fresh Basil & Lemon
A quick and simple pasta dish is one I love to turn to for an easy, delicious meal that everyone is sure to love. In this 15-minute tuna tomato spaghetti, the sauce effortlessly comes together in the time it takes the pasta to cook. Before you dive in, ensure everything is prepped and ready to go, because once you start, it all comes together in a flash.
 NEW ✨ BBQ’d Mushrooms & Summer Vegetables with a Creamy Herb DressingI love BBQ'd veggies—the char and smokiness on a well-seasoned, still slightly crunchy vegetable; I just can't get enough! And paired with this creamy herb, almost ranch-style dip, is oh so good. |  Apple, Date & Caramelised Coconut Lumberjack CakeTraditionally this cake is made with lots of butter and sugar but after many tests, I found I loved the version with maple syrup and olive oil the most. It's lighter and it allows the flavour of the apples, dates, and coconut to shine through. It also makes it a slightly 'healthier' version - a bit of a bonus! |
 NEW ✨ Roasted Tangy Mushrooms on Toast with Ricotta & a Chunky Chive OilThis dish is a haven for mushroom enthusiasts and might just win over those who typically shy away from mushrooms. |  POPULAR ✨ Cinnamon Sugar-Rolled Triple Chocolate Chunk CookiesThese cookies are thiiiick! Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. If you have a sweet tooth or just love a good cookie you're going to LOVE these. |
I was recently gifted this beautiful cookware set from Our Place and have been using it non-stop, especially loving the steamer inserts.
I'm currently planning my daughter's birthday cake and found these fun candle options: These 'Queen B Beeswax Birthday Candles' have been my go-to. If you're in Aus, Kmart has many great options: wavy candles, glitter candles, and pastel candles. How good! For a stunning range of party supplies, also check out Meri Meri.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that one of my favourite chocolate brands to cook with and enjoy is Whittaker's. They've just released their 'Hazella' chocolate in Australia—a classic milk chocolate with a hazelnut gianduja filling. Yum!
