Christmas mocktail – The green grocer fizz
I am absolutely loving my Christmas mocktail – The green grocer fizz. The name was inspired by the spirit used to create it and it is such a refreshing summer-time drink. It’s wonderful to sip on during the long hot days we have in Australia at this time of year. […]
Whole roasted cauliflower with Ras el Hanout and tahini
On a recent trip to Morocco, I was quite astounded to find just how serious they are about their herbs and spices. Pleasantly so, I might add. I mentioned to our fabulous tour guide, Jaouad from Infinite Morocco Tours, that I wanted to buy some Moroccan spices. Most of all, their […]
Wholesome brownies with chocolate chunks
I really do love the fact that vegetables are hidden in so many recipes these days. Not only because it enables us to get vegetables into even the most staunch vegetable hater (gasp!), but also because – why not add one more vegetable serve to your day? These wholesome brownies with […]

Vanilla cinnamon Brookfarm porrij was on for breakfast this morning and I absolutely loved it! I would normally use oats to make a porridge, but I was recently given some Brookfarm products to try, and their gluten free porrij was one of them. I’m not quite sure how it is […]

Chocolate peppermint fudge bliss balls
These chocolate peppermint fudge bliss balls make me happy. They bring back many childhood memories of enjoying an after dinner mint at one of my parent’s dinner parties…. even just writing that made me smile 😊 My husband and I aren’t massive dessert fans at all. We can both do […]
Super simple kale salad
I love a super simple recipe of any kind if I’m honest but a super simple kale salad is right up there on the list! Whilst chatting to people about their diets in clinic, I have found a lot say they struggle with kale whenever I mention it. They know […]
Banana and cinnamon muffins with a twist
Banana and cinnamon muffins with a twist? What’s this twist, you say? …… avocado! 😮 You know I love to sneak ‘green things’ into the foods I cook for my husband…. particularly the green things he doesn’t like, and avocado is one of those. Mind you he has no issue […]
Sweet potato toast
Sweet potato toast hit the internet some time early last year thanks to Kelsey from Little Bits of having no bread in the house one morning. As a result, slices of sweet potato subbed as toast slices and the rest is history as they say. How’s that for thinking outside the […]
