How are you, my lovely readers?

I've been busy working on a new free eBook for my subscribers, which I will share with you early next week.

As such, I am a bit late with fresh recipe content but have finally published a new recipe for delicious corn, pea and halloumi fritters just in time for the weekend. These are great for breakfast, brunch or lunch and would be amazing on Mother's Day if you're looking for some cooking ideas. I have included a few more lovely weekend recipes you could make for your mom or for yourself, cause we all deserve a good meal and a treat, eh?

Also, I know that Mother's Day isn't the same for everyone and can bring up different emotions and I just wanted to say I appreciate it. I hear you and I feel you more than you realise.

Sweet corn pea and halloumi fritters

This is a classic Cooked & Loved recipe! I first tried halloumi and pea fritters years ago at a cafe near Byron Bay (fritters are a common cafe staple in Australia). I made a few versions at home, with and without peas, with zucchini, corn, grain-free and with flour, and I have settled on this version.

These halloumi fritters have a pan-fried, crispy texture on the outside and a slightly chewy, cheesy and soft middle. The secret in this particular recipe is partially blending the peas and corn with the eggs, which releases that lovely sweet pea and corn flavour in the batter of the fritters. While this step can be skipped, I do urge you to do it and see how the flavour is enhanced…which is what I am all about!

Nutrition tip: Due to peas, egg and cheese, these fritters are a great option for those who are looking for a high-protein vegetarian dish. These can also be made gluten-free and grain-free.

Serving halloumi fritters

You can serve halloumi fritters for breakfast, brunch or lunch and they can be a delicious, meat-free dinner option. I always make a simple aioli sauce on the side but they will also go well with sweet chilli sauce or even plain-old ketchup.

If you make these for breakfast, you can dish the up with eggs, bacon, mushrooms or smoked salmon on the side. Roasted tomatoes are fabulous as an accompaniment. You can add sliced avocado on top, too.

For lunch or dinner, I will usually make a big salad or a side of greens.
