Whether you want to drop a few extra kilos or just want to make healthier choices, organisation is fundamental to your success. I constantly fall into the trap of letting myself get too hungry, and reaching for the the first thing in sight – the quickest way to satisfy those hunger pangs. It is almost…

Chia Seed Muesli Bars
My boy started school today. It’s hard to believe my little baby has grown up so much, in what seems like the blink of an eye. I remember when he was born, my own mum and my mother in law both told me to cherish every minute, as it is over before you know…
Watermelon + Feta Salad
You really couldn’t get a more summery dish, even if you tried. We just survived one of the most intense heatwave on record in Victoria – this is exactly the kind of refreshing lunch that helps you get through. Some people screw their nose up at the thought of watermelon featured in a savoury…
Almond + Goji Berry Granola
Granola is not as big here as it is in The States. When I travelled (which seems like a lifetime ago now), I was surprised to see that granola was a staple for most of the cafes – especially in New York. Here in Australia, muesli is far more common fare, both in the…
Choc-Tahini Spread
Those of you who know me well, already know I am big on ‘homemade’. Rather than buying products from the store, I prefer to recreate my own versions at home. I am fairly certain this has been instilled in me from my childhood. Growing up with a single mum, funds were very limited. We didn’t…
Raw CHERRY RIPE Cheesecake
I was hoping not to post another dessert recipe this week. I still have that post Christmas remorse from eating a record amount of chocolate. I was planning on making some fresh homemade pasta, with all the spare yolks I have in the fridge, but as I type it is one of those awful 40degree…
Chocolate Macadamia + Coconut Tart
Tis the season for having guests. Or better still, being a guest. Both situations generally require some kind of edible token of friendship. If you find yourself in charge of sweets – look no further. Here we have the perfect dessert, whether you are a coeliac, a vegan, following a paleo diet, or just need…
Lemon Delicious Pudding
We have a lemon tree at home. I sometimes wonder what on earth I did before we had one – I use lemons in just about everything! Our tree produces ginormous yellow lemons with a thick rind and heaps of juice, perfect for making preserved lemons, lemonade, lemon and herb vinaigrette, or anything which…
Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Spiced Yoghurt
Have you ever roasted cauliflower? It completely transforms it’s flavour into something deeply delicious. Even in it’s most simple form – olive oil, salt, pepper, maybe a grating of fresh parmesan. Roasted cauliflower is sensational. Here I have assembled a simple salad using some roasted cauliflower as the base. I ate it for (a light)…
Brown Rice with Broad Beans, Peas + Buffalo Mozzarella
It was my father in-law’s birthday last weekend. We took a drive to his house in the country, in his backyard was the most wonderful veggie garden. Not one with neat straight rows, but one which was wild and overgrown with edible vegetation. The plants were ten times the size of the ones in my…
