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…
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…
Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl
I made a pact with my friend from work. A no bread/pasta/rice for 7 days pact. Near impossible when you work at a bakery. You see, as I have explained several times already, I eat a hellofalot of bread. All of us bakery staff do. So a one week ban was very necessary, to keep the…
Drop what you’re doing – it’s a healthy SNICKERS!
Never have I been more excited about something I’ve made. Honestly, this clean and raw ‘Snickers’ is hands down, better than anything I have ever eaten. Ever. So simple too. Just whizz it up, pop it in the freezer to set for an hour, and presto! Time to indulge. But don’t worry – it’s another one…
Beet Hummus AND Carrot + Cannellini Bean Paste
I have a deep love for bread. Not just any old loaf, it needs to be good. A big chunk of my diet consists of sandwiches and toast. Perhaps a bit more than I’d like to admit. I have always been a lover of bread, however working in an artisan bakery has taken my bread…
Broad Bean Falafels + Tahini Yoghurt
I am a lover of Winter, much more so than most people. The oven is always on, warming up the house, and with it the delicious smells of something I am about to enjoy. There are a lot of cakes. Probably a few more than what is deemed normal, I am sure it is just…
