A breakfast idea that combines smoothie and egg to make a simple pancake... a green smoothie pancake!  

Finding the real reason why you feel so preoccupied with food all the time.  

This bread happened following a late-lock out Sunday morning yoga class. Since I was up early, I turned home and made a loaf of pea & ham bread which turned out beautifully. 

In this recipe, I use fats of nuts, oils, coconut cream and flakes that naturally clench taste buds and make for a highly satisfying and nourishing dessert.  

By occasionally colouring outside the lines we can sustain long-term habits and behaviours. We’re missing the point when all we focus on is food groups, calorie counting, and proportion control.

I called it 'coffee defeat' and took myself home to whip up what I know and love: Turmeric Home Brew Coffee

A homemade batch of cookies with the perfect balance of savoury-sweet! An easy whip of tahini-caramel and chocolate nibs defying the all original choc-chip cookie.

Roast chicken and veg is simple, cheap and somewhat forgiving meal that can literally be turned inside out to produce multiple rich and super nutritious meals from the by-product of leftover chewed on wings, carcass and jelly from a chicken roast.

Gratitude. Don’t let this seemingly simple concept fool you. Like many things in life, we know what we should do. So often the struggle is carving out the time and commitment to invest in ourselves. 

This risotto is great for for packed leftovers. Its a super portable take-to-work salad. You can add oven baked fish or tinned tuna, sardines or mackrel to bulk out the proportions. 

This Raspberry Coconut Yogurt Slice doubles as a breakfast packable for mornings you need to run and takes less than 25 mins to whip up

We've hit mid Jan, you've settled back into more of a routine, you've packed some healthy salads to take to work (meal prep, check!) and getting to the gym a few extra times a week. All is well on the New Year, New You front -- yeah?  

Packed full of flavour, all in one-pan and quick! Throw together a big salad to side with the chicken while it's baking in the oven and you have yourself a beautiful, nutritious meal.

Make your home the high water mark, a healthy and natural environment, by mixing together these few household items. Clean enough to eat. 

It’s when we start to make decisions from a place of self care, not self control that we can choose foods that nourish, not superficially fill. To stop battling our bodies with exercise and instead, move because we love the way it makes us feel. To rest because we need some space.

You already know that you need to make healthy eating a priority -- eating fruit and vegetables, stop overeating, manage cravings, move your body and stay motivated. The tough part is actually incorporating this into your life.

This treat of a breakfast combo fuses together sweet and savoury asian miso, rice and ginger flavours into a deliciously soft oven-baked porridge.The best part? The salted caramel sauce that blows this dishes disguise as a breakfast into more of a desert.  

Cold weather is the time to embrace roasted veggie-combos, bowls of broth infused chicken rice and leftovers that do for breakfast-lunch-or-dinner. 

Root vegetables and brussels love the cooler weather! Make the most of their abundance and seasonality in Winter by bulk roasting sweet potato, garlic, and carrots alongside crispy layers of brussels.

This Asian rice warmer has few ingredients, packed full of nutrients and best topped with fresh chilli and herbs.

This savoury porridge packs in leafy greens and seasoned with an uncommon oat-y flavour pairing. Miso.
