Shortbread is one of the treats I enjoy and following a paleo lifestyle doesn’t mean I miss out. I love the rich buttery taste and the slightly crumbly texture that almost melted in your mouth yet still had a little crunch. That is exactly what I wanted from this recipe and I […] 
These days I hear more and more about people with food allergies or sensitivities and I’ve discovered that I’m one of those people. Learning more about how my body reacts to certain foods has prompted me to ask questions like what am I doing that is contributing to […] 
Christmas is a time for giving. A time for helping those less fortunate than ourselves, for showing our appreciation by passing on gifts of thanks. It is also a time that many of us use to spend with our families and loved ones because we realise how important they really […] 
When I think about what we ate before purchasing our Thermomix it was quite different to what we eat now. At the time I used to think we had quite a healthy diet. Lots of fruit and vegetables, red meat a few times a week, chicken and never enough fish […] 
G and I have a little girl in our lives who is very special to us. She makes us laugh, makes us cry (I was a weeping mess when I had to watch her go into surgery recently) and brings immense joy to our home. It was her […] 
Finding new and interesting ways to use overripe bananas seems to be a constant challenge, especially lately. I buy them with the best of intentions to make sure that I eat at least one piece of fruit each day. The only problem being that I am quite fickle when it […] 
Winter time in Perth is generally milder than most other Australian cities but this year it has been exceptionally so. Last weekend temperatures were in the mid 20’s (70°F) with no rain in sight for at least another five days. While the lack of rain causes its […] 
There are times that I absolutely love to make things that I have made a hundred times before. There is something extremely comforting about knowing a recipe like the back of your hand and knowing the steps inside out. Most of these types of recipes come from my Nanna or my Mum. […] 
Baking is one of my pleasures in life that I don’t need an excuse to do. Although, I always seem to have a good reason for the things that I make, whether it be taking a dessert to someone’s place for dinner or simply because our […] 
Upon our return from holidays I restocked the fridge with fresh fruit and vegetables ready for the week ahead. As I was doing so I discovered three passionfruit that looked a little worse for wear. I thought about throwing them out but then I remembered that when looking for good […] 
Cookies (or biscuits if you live down under) are one of those things that can make anyone weak at the knees when they are fresh from the oven, especially if they are chocolate chip cookies. I think that people who love baking are always on the hunt for the best […] 
Having spent many years working in the health and fitness industry there was a necessity for me to learn quite a lot about nutrition. One of the things that I remember from my days in that field is a quote that explains how our daily food intake should be consumed. […] 
Both G & I have a “thing” for something sweet after dinner. I know, not the best thing for the waistline but it is just one of those things that we can’t seem to deny ourselves. Usually whatever sweet little morsel we choose is accompanied by a good quality cup of coffee. Earlier […] 
It was Valentine’s Day yesterday and while neither G or I buy into the commercialism of the day we do like to spend some time together and relax. The one thing I do like about a day that celebrates love is that it reminds us all how important our loved ones are in […] 
Today was one of those days when I sincerely appreciated how the world works. You know what I mean, when things just seem to work out for the best. This morning I was supposed to go for an early walk with a girlfriend I haven’t seen in some time, but […] |
