I’ve been experimenting with Carob lately, and really liking the results like this Carob Bark and my Carob Fudge Bliss Balls coming in a few weeks! Carob powder, like cacao powder is a dark brown in colour and it’s often used in similar sorts of recipes. However it has a very different flavour. Carob is actually naturally quite sweet and … Read More
Choc-Chilli-Chai
There are so many different ‘lattes’ blends on the market these days – turmeric, chai, hot chocolate, gingerbread, even beetroot lattes (yes, they’re bright pink)! But no Choc Chilli Chai… One of the perks of working in a health food store with a cafe is that I get to experiment with all these different flavours! I’ve always really enjoyed dark … Read More
Raw Red Velvet Mud Cake
I make some pretty amazing Red Velvet Bliss Balls (the recipe is in my Bliss Balls ebook), if I do say so myself. They’re rich and decadent but at the same time quite light as they use beetroot! Recently on social media I’ve been seeing a lot of chocolate mudcakes-type recipes and it got me thinking about my Red Velvet … Read More
Beautiful DIY Body Butter
For quite a while now I’ve used simply coconut oil as my ‘body butter’, make-up remover, as well as in cooking. However, I’ve recently decided to try cacao butter as a base in combination with some dietary manipulations to help treat some skin irritations as it’s worked for others and is a relatively low-reactive oil. Cacao butter, however is solid … Read More
Superfood Zucchini Fritters
I love a good fritter. Zucchini fritters, carrot fritters, pumpkin fritters, mixed-veggie fritters, you name it. Fritters are so versatile – perfect for fancy homemade brunches, satisfying packed lunches for school or work, not to mention easy and kid-friendly breakfasts and dinners! PLUS they’re REALLY easy to make. When I make fritters, I’m usually making them as a vegetarian protein … Read More
Macadamia Cream Cheese
One of my friends from my Masters of Nutrition, Sharon, runs a wonderful webpage and Instagram Account called The FODMAP Friendly Vegan. As I’ve recently been following a low FODMAP protocol, I’ve been visiting her site quite frequently for inspiration and guidance. One recipe I came across that I just CANNOT get enough of is her Macadamia Cream Cheese, I was … Read More
Salmon with Dill Pesto, Chips and Salad
There’s just no arguing with the marriage of flavours that are DILL and SALMON. It’s seriously the best! It even makes smoked salmon taste pleasing for me (I’m not normally a fan of smoked salmon, despite loving cooked salmon). You know what, it’s actually just really great with all kinds of fish! Thus, I love having my creamy, flavourful Dill Pesto … Read More
Dill Pesto
This beautiful, creamy, flavourful Dill Pesto is the perfect accompaniment to fish, chicken and even lamb! As a bonus, the use of walnuts or macadamia nuts and omission of garlic makes it low reactive, FODMAP and Sibo compliant! Try it in place of Basil Pesto with Zoodles too. Time 10 mins Ingredients: 1 C walnuts or macadamia nuts juice of 1 … Read More

Lemon Cheesecake
When you’re following a low FODMAP or SIBO-Biphasic protocol, there aren’t a whole lot of fruits and sweet things to include. But if you know me, then you know I love to have a little something after dinner. I was taken back to memories of a CWA lemon cheesecake that my Grandma used to make for on birthdays and special … Read More
