Simple recipes, whole foods, inspired health
These easy to make Strawberry Cream Gummies are a delicious, gut healing treat that my whole family loves (including Bonnie Blue my 6 month old puppy). She knows what's good for her ;) I regularly make gummies treats for my family to support their gut health and immune system. The limit is your imagination when making different flavoured gummies. If you're after more ideas, check out my Lemon ...
Party food does not get a whole lot easier than this Watermelon Pizza! I probably don't need to even write up a recipe for this as the image says it all, but I will in case you need a few extra ideas. This Watermelon Pizza is such a versatile recipe. In this photo I've just decorated it with fruit and yoghurt, but get creative and adapt it to suit your guests tastes. You could even get the kids ...
These Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cups have long been one of my party go-to's. One because my kids feel like they've hit the jackpot with them and two, because even kids used to processed treats think these are the bomb. It's also good for intolerance aware parties being egg, nut, gluten, dairy and grain-free. Don't be put off by the avocado. My kids both dislike avo but love this decadent ...
This Anzac Brownie Slice is next level good! With lots of Anzac inspired recipes to suit those with dietary intolerance already on the Well Nourished website... there is some seriously tough competition when it comes to designing Anzac inspired recipes. My very first recipe from six years ago, the epically popular Nourishing Anzac bikkie has been a long time crowd pleaser and is a great nut-free ...
I don't have a great memory, especially for dates and numbers in general. But for food, I'm always on point. I remember flavour combinations, textures and food with friends. One memory I carry is of maple roast macadamia nuts dipped in dark chocolate from a winery on the Mornington Peninsula, many moons ago. Because I don't have the patience or time to individually coat each nut, this Maple ...
These Peppermint Choc-chip Iceblocks are currently my sons favourite snack and I'm not complaining. They take literally minutes to make and don't require the oven which in QLD summer, is a godsend. Plus, all that goodness disguised in this tasty iceblock, what more could you want from an icy treat? I freeze these in my Onyx stainless steel iceblock moulds. I also freeze them in little ...
I'm seriously becoming more time poor as each year passes. My kids are busy with both before and after school activities pretty much every day of the week. So the amount of time I have to spend in the kitchen is way less than when they were little and we were home a lot more. So it's recipes like these Popcorn Caramel Chews that take literally 5 minutes to make, which are a saviour when life gets ...
We're just back from holiday and the kids are back into the swing of having friends over and intensive early morning nippers training for my son. So they need snacks, regular snacks and it's way to humid for me to put the oven on. Enter this Peanut Butter Dessert 'Hummus'... It's one of over a 1,000 awesome recipes in this years brilliant Healthy Meal Planning Bundle - thanks so much ...
I'm sure many of you are thinking about forming (or re-forming) healthy habits about now, so, I thought this the best time to share this little gem of a recipe - my Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal (with Cinnamon Yoghurt). The festive season is one time in the year I stray from my usual clean eating. I'm eating out more often, the change in routine with my kids being on school holidays also throws me, ...
I love creating special desserts for the festive season... something that's delicious and visually beautiful. It also has to be able to be made in advance. Because I certainly don't want to be stuck in the kitchen once the fun starts! This Raspberry, Honey, Pistachio Semifreddo ticks all these boxes and it's actually very easy to make. I've included both regular and Thermomix methods too. I ...
There are certain flavour combinations that just work. Dark chocolate paired with orange is certainly one of them! So I present to you, in time for the festive season, my Choc-orange Biscuits. Baking gifts is good for your health Christmas is a great time to get your bake on and give the gift of deliciousness by baking something lovely for friends and family! I recently read a news article where ...
It's definitely that time of year to break out my stainless steel Onyx popsicle moulds and whip up a batch of ice-blocks. These Mango, Coconut and Lime Ice Blocks are not only a healthy snack or treat, they are so very convenient. They take just minutes to make and they are a nutritious grab and go snack. My son often helps himself to an ice-block on his way to nippers training, either at 5am ...
My 10 year old son is growing at a rate of knots. He has size 10 adult mens feet (we call him 'the hobbit' lol) and he's a big, athletic kid. He's mad for sport and at the moment, he is training sometimes twice a day (athletics and nippers season is in full swing for him). So feeding him nutritionally balanced meals and snacks is especially important for his day to day wellness and his ability to ...
This amazingly delicious dessert is thanks to Alexx Stuart from Low Tox Life. I've taken it from Alexx's ebook 'Celebrate - Your Comprehensive Guide to Low Tox Entertaining.' It's a standout recipe in this years 'Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle' and I'm so thrilled that Alexx has been generous enough to allow me to share it with you today. My hubby and kids are even more thankful to Alexx, they ...
One of my most favourite spices is cardamon. I love it's flavour in curries, but also and especially in desserts. I think cardamon and chocolate is a flavour match made in heaven. Combined with the maple roasted macadamia nuts, this Chocolate Slice has become one of my favourite treats. If you're not a fan of the flavour of cardamon, this is also delicious without...your call! Health ...
This week's Spiced Carrot Cake Chocolate Truffle recipe is one for the Easter Bunny! All of my taste testers (including my two little blondies) are in love with these little balls of deliciousness, so I reckon the big bunny will be impressed too. My hubby said I should call them healthy Jaffas (kids couldn't confer as they've not tried them, but Jaffas are now on their radar since stories of him ...
