Vegetarian Nachos – perfect for that night in!

When I am travelling for long periods of time, I make sure that I give myself a ‘rest’ day or evening, a couple of times a week.  You may wonder why? When I am off gallivanting around the world having the time of my life?  Well, gallivanting can be exhausting …

Hiking the Mare e Mare in Corsica - absolutely ama Hiking the Mare e Mare in Corsica - absolutely amazing few days. We did this using a self guided walking company… so our bags and clean clothes would be waiting for us each day. I loved the accommodations we stayed in, as everyone was so friendly. But mostly, I loved the views!

This weeks recipe from my grandmothers stack of re This weeks recipe from my grandmothers stack of recipe cards is Baked Red Mullet. I had never eaten mullet before… except when she cooked me this meal, but I didn’t know what it was then (I wish I asked more questions). I quite liked it, it was a meaty fish but with a great flake. Her recipe said to peel the tomatoes… I did not do that, because who can be bothered. I also added some chilli. And I served it with beans and potatoes, just like she would have.

London really put a show on today, just enough sun London really put a show on today, just enough sunshine to keep us warm but not so much that it was sweaty while walking around… which is great because we did over 28,000 steps between pubs today. Best way to earn my next drink.

About the Lite Backpacker

Hello, I’m Helen, AKA The Lite Backpacker – an Australian with an English accent (thanks to having one English parent) on the 30 side of my 20s. Like so many Australians, at 18 I packed up my backpack and headed to Europe, flittering from museum to bar for nearly a year. When I came home I thought I had gotten the “travel bug” out of my system as well as putting on an unhealthy amount of “backpacking weight”. Instead, within 6 months I had booked my next trip, with a vow of finding a way to enjoy travel food without the weight gain. Read More about “About Me”…
