Well, I don’t know about you, but I made these apricot sesame bliss balls for Mum and I to take on our road trip 🙂 Recipe … Read More
Oat, Peanut Butter and Fruit Cookies
Wow. The last couple of weeks have been exhausting. My father passed away at the end of June and it’s been a tough time in the weeks since. Emotionally tiring yes, but also physically draining with all the lifting, moving and packing. Not to mention the decision fatigue… so many things to decide. I tried to take time out for … Read More
180 ANZAC Biscuits
ANZAC Biscuits are something that I really love, and identify with as an Australian; each year commemorating those who have fallen in defence of our beloved country. Last year I made this version. But I thought I’d change things up this year for something a little different… This year I’ve teamed up with 180 Nutrition to bring you these Superfood … Read More
Tigernut Cookie Dough Bliss Balls [Nut-free, GF, DF, Sugar Free, Paleo]
There are many schools now that have implemented a complete ban on children bringing nuts to school for snacks (due to risks of allergies being triggered amongst other children). I’ll leave my views on this aside for now. It means that parents have to be a little more creative when it comes to snacks. That’s where me, and these cookie … Read More
Teff Falafels
These teff falafels are tasty, versatile and one of my favourite things to have on hand for a flavour-and-nutrient-packed lunch. They’re also a great plant-based way to add protein to a meal. Particularly as Teff (a pseudo grain similar to quinoa) is one of the highest content grains on the market at the moment! “What is Teff?” I hear you say… … Read More

Sugar-free Chocolate Bark
Did you know that chocolate (especially this chocolate bark) is actually quite good for you! The raw cacao kind is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, copper, iron, zinc, potassium, monounsaturated fat, and vitamins E, B2, B1, B5, B3 and B9. The issue with many chocolates out there is the sugar content and addition of preservatives and emulsifiers like lecithin and dairy. I am IN LOVE with … Read More
Choc PB & J Pancakes
What is it about peanut butter and jam? They just go together so well, a match made in heaven I believe it’s called. And chocolate, well chocolate makes everything more delicious right? Enter my creation of Choc PB & J pancakes! Like most of my pancake recipes they are just a variation of my base pancake recipe. With protein, complex carbohydrates and … Read More
Sugar-free Strawberry Jam
Most of the jams you find in supermarkets and even homemade/artisanal jams are LOADED with added sugar (even if it comes from a natural source like honey or maple syrup). I underst and the sugar acts as a preservative but I always find them so ridiculously sweet when I taste them. So for years now I’ve made my own … Read More
Sweetener-free Carob Fudge Bliss Balls
I’ve been experimenting with Carob lately, and really liking the results. My first creation, Carob Bark is one of my favourite after-dinner treats at the moment, but these Carob Fudge Bliss Balls are right up there too! They really do have that fudgy texture, and for me, I love having the buttons in there for a slight ‘crunch’ factor. Carob … Read More
