Don’t get me wrong, I like eggs, but sometimes I feel like something lighter and I also have loads of egg-free and vegan friends. This recipe is a simple one to make, just blending and no worrying about eggs splitting or the end result failing. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, lemony, salty and tang. Continue reading
One for the savoury files, this recipe is soo easy. Minimum effort yeilds delicious results – everything gets thrown into one bowl, mixed and then cooked. These fritters are super versatile too, they are great for lunchboxes (they rock as leftovers!), awesome for brunch, lunch or dinner (try with a big serve of yummy rocket leaves on the side, also super quick) and they are perfect for entertaining, you can even halve the size you cook to teaspoon size for the cutest little canapes!

I’m usually driven with meals with what we have on hand and what is cheap and in season at the time. I think by now everyone knows I’m usually meal planning flying by the seat of my pants making meals for my three beautiful kids. I think you will love this recipe – it takes just a couple of minutes to make, it’s easy, it’s cheap and it’s so fresh, nourishing and detoxifying. Continue reading
One of my first jobs as a teen was working in a bakery in town. I couldn’t handle the meat pies but was quite partial to a chicken and veg pie – with loads of sauce of course! It must be an Aussie thing. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) I have since found out what my body can tolerate and one of the definite no’s for me is gluten. Also I wanted a whole food, fresh, tasty option without the weirdo shortenings and additives AND I want to sneak in as much veg as humanly possible. Too much to ask for? I didn’t think so, so I created this family favourite beauty for you. Continue reading
I tell you on busy days the slow cooker is a lifesaver. Coming home to a yummy smelling house with dinner only 5 minutes away is such a relief! This recipe takes a small (and I mean small) amount of forward planning, but it is so worth the convenience and ease! Continue reading
Here is a nut free alternative to my Grain Free Pizza which I also love, just sometimes we need a little break from the nuts (everything in moderation and we don’t need to go nuts over nuts!) This pizza is light but it’s oh-so-satisfying. You can pick up a piece just like a regular crust pizza, it’s delicious and you can get really creative with your toppings too. Continue reading
My 13 year old daughter just said to me, “Mum, these are SO good.”
I’ll take that! These are such a great first step for a really fussy eater and they’re one of the first steps I took to covert my ultra picky eating eldest son to a whole food diet (we’re talking 5-foods-only-level of picky eating). Get rid of the expensive frozen nugs for these instead – once you’ve nailed these and the kids are loving them then you can move on to the next introduction. I guess these nuggets are like a gateway whole food! Continue reading
One of my favourite lunchbox tips is to use some of the leftover dinner from the night before. So really this recipe can be used to make a dinner with some put aside for the next day, OR you can make a batch, cook and then portion into lots of 5 or 6 meatballs to keep in the freezer ready for lunches. Easy peasy! They are really tasty (morish actually) and have all the benefits of vegies, herbs and protein to fuel growing minds and bodies. Continue reading
