I love a bowl of good food – sometimes called an abundance bowl or bountiful bowl, or what I like to call a balance bowl. Filled with natural goodness, for a nicely balanced lifestyle!! I try to make everything as seasonal as possible, but there are a few staples I will always have in the…
Mixed Seeds & Lupin Crackers
Everywhere we turn, there’s an allergy. As a kid, I feel like it was rare for people to have allergies. But now they’re popping up everywhere – my 88 year old grandmother has just been diagnosed with an allergy to peanuts (which she’s been eating forever). Consequently, I’ve starting making some staples to try to…
Baby Steps
My mother’s biggest advice to me has always been, “don’t marry a man expecting him to change”. Although I ultimately agree, geez my husband’s eating habits have changed! Yes, we have been living together for a little while, and no, it did not happen overnight. He has gone from eating 3 pieces of toast with…
Lactation Balls
Lactation balls? Huh? Yes! That’s right – who knew? Unless you need them! Now, some people swear by them, some people don’t. But hey, let’s face it, some people can feed their babies, others can’t. It’s a mystery, who knows? I fell into the latter group – dried up after four weeks. After starving my first…
The Savoury Scone
I try not to be one of those parents that boasts about their children. But my big claim to fame is that my daughter spoke her first work before she rolled over. Unfortunately for her, (fortunately for me), this is not a reflection of her superior intelligence. She actually didn’t roll over until she was…
How I Lost Weight
So, here I am, telling you my secret. Not from a scientific study, not from research, not from observation. This is simply my life. AND ITS SCRUMPTIOUS! When I was diagnosed with gestation diabetes, I was smashing the food. I’d put on so much weight during the first half of my pregnancy – I mean,…
Healthy Sweets
My beautiful in-laws don’t bake. They’re very good cooks, but they don’t bake. I’m not sure if it’s a genuine dislike of baking or not. Anyhow, this saw me bringing dessert for each family function. With a few allergies in the family, I realised I needed to be inclusive and provide something other than fruit…
Wholefood Protein Hit
I understand the appeal of protein powder, but I struggle to stomach it – literally (I don’t like drinking it). I know you can now purchase protein powders that are “natural” and don’t have anything artificial in them, but I’m one of those people that will call a spade a spade when I see one….
Where to Buy Lupins?
Along with the questions of, “can you please just make my food for me?”, (which I am very excited to say that I will soon have homemade lupin products available for sale), I’ve also had a lot of questions about where to purchase this new superfood. It is currently at the Jindera Takeaway and Goldfield…
Seafood, Seafood, Seeeaaaa-food!
I’ve always maintained my daughter has a SEE-food diet, to the extent that she begs for food from strangers – literally! But I’d much rather talk about the amazing SEA-food my parents brought home from their holiday!!! Yummmm! Green prawns, flathead, whiting, baby octopus, cuttlefish, just to name a few! All of which, I am…
