Noodle Omelettes with Honey Prawns

A quick and easy dinner that can be rustled up in minutes. If zucchini is not to your liking try grated carrot, thinly sliced capsicum, bean sprouts or spring onions.

Don't over cook the prawns or they will turn out rubbery.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious.
