For those nights when you need a vehicle for your veggies or just a delicious warm side, this recipe is equally good for both.

Winter is all about soups in my house. And what a fabulous warm and comforting way to get your daily veg when a cold salad just isn't doing it for you.

I was recently on ABC radio talking about chicken soup and I realised I have never shared my recipe.

I'll admit, even I was a bit concerned when I came up with this recipe idea, and first time around it was a bit of an abomination. But I've perfected it now and my family have not only stopped laughing at me, but they are all eating it now too.

The mercury is starting to drop so in my house we are starting to gravitate towards heartier warming meals that feel like a big hug. This little gem is definitely one of those! Aside from my daughter picking out the eggplant, its a family fave at the moment.

Dessert has never been so easy. Yes it has actual chocolate in it, but it's dessert. I'm not suggesting you eat this every day or for breakfast. I'm saying you should make this for those you love and sit down and enjoy it, because its pretty darn awesome.
