Recipe: Beet and Citrus Salad
Beet and citrus salad – it’s the perfect way to ring in spring. This salad is light, fresh, and packs a punch. It does require a bit of prep, since roasting the beets does take some time, yet other than that, it’s quick and easy. Plus, it holds up well. We enjoy it for dinner with turkey burgers or even breakfast with poached eggs and toast. Okay, let’s get to slicing. Ingredients First, if you haven’t done so already, roast the beets until tender. Once…

Travel: Chez Noosa Motel
Chez Noosa Motel in Noosa, Queensland. It’s not a fancy place, and although we walked to home from the beach, it’s nice to have a car. The price is good, the property is clean, and it’s safe. A win-win all around. The one tricky thing that happened while we were visiting, the power in our unit shut off due to a tripped breaker around 2am or 3am on our last night. We woke up super hot! Nothing a shower couldn’t fix, and all our food…

Travel: Tewantin National Park
Tewantin National Park is a paradise for mountain bikers. If you’ve got two wheels, a helmet, and a water bottle, then be sure you ring your bike bell since we’ll be hiking! That’s right, we hiked over 18km of trails in Tewantin National Park. Oh, and be sure you use your map, since not all the trails are clearly marked. We hiked this beautiful shaded place on an extremely hot day – it was 38 degrees outside. That’s slightly over 100. Hot! Luckily about 80%…

Travel: Noosa Farmers’ Market
The Noosa Farmers’ Market is a busy place! You get to park in a field, yet not to worry, it’s in the city. Just be sure you’re hungry when you visit. From juices to donuts, there are a lot of tasty treats! A few classics you can find here, if you’re visiting Australia and are looking for gifts to bring home. Chocolates are a good choice, and so is honey. The best items I found were scarves and towels – some of the softest materials…
