Who doesn’t love a good Mexican Feast? I just love the herbs and spices used in Mexican cuisine, the way there’s chilli and spice but it’s mellowed with cinnamon, cumin and coriander! Probably my first introduction to Mexican food would have been Nachos, well at least an Australian-ised version of Nachos anyway. I still love making them at home, and … Read More

And of course Guacamole! But Guacamole doesn’t have to be confined to Mexican feasts, the healthy fats from the avocado and … Read More
Sweet Chilli Sauce – Paleo
Sweet Chilli Sauce is a staple in many Australian homes. I’ve always really enjoyed it too, whether it’s just to jazz up some plain steamed veggies; stirred through some cashew cream cheese to make a ‘sweet chilli philli’ style dip; in a simple stir fry (easiest ever = tamari + sweet chilli sauce + water); or to make a vietnamese-style dressing … Read More
Prunes in Spiced Port Syrup
I’m a nutritionist, it’s true, but I am also absolutely ALL about balance! And I certainly enjoy an alcoholic beverage and treats for dessert once in a while. One treat that I like to whip up in winter or around Christmas time (because of the spices involved) is this Prunes in Spiced Port Syrup recipe. The mulled wine-type flavours just … Read More
180 ANZAC Biscuits

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
Rocky Road – GF, DF, RSF

Here’s my take on this Aussie favourite – gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free, but … Read More
