RSS feed for this sectionI love coconut and my most favourite way to eat it is freshly cut in big, juicy chunks. Coconut has an extensive list of healing properties, but most importantly it’s a natural cleanser for our stomachs and therefore very helpful for the digestion issues I’ve been having. I tend to buy lots of fresh coconuts, [...]
I’ve been surprised by how many recipes that I’m naturally drawn to are actually Paleo/Primal friendly anyway, and those that aren’t only need an ingredient or two tweaked or omitted to make them perfectly Paleo/Primal. Only one problem now though – I think my pile of ‘recipes to try’ is becoming ridiculous and I’m never [...]
It’s that time of year – Christmas parties & catch-ups are filling the calendar and we’re all probably enjoying an extra tipple or two. I’m a bit fussy when it comes to alcoholic drinks and I really don’t have a ‘go to’ favourite but considering I’m well clear of the pregnancy and breastfeeding dry spell, [...]
I’m well and truly in the Christmas spirit now.

Melbourne’s weather is teasing us with just a hint of warmth, but it’s still too cold for me to fully embrace Summer salads just yet. So until we’re blessed with full Summer sun, these 10 warm salads will help to fill the salad spot… 1. Brown rice and roast pumpkin salad – food.ninemsn.com.au 2. [...]
Another birthday is barrelling down on me, so I’m putting together a birthday cake wish list that I can pass on to hubby. Some of them might be wishful thinking, but it’s worth a try! 1. Reese’s peanut butter cup cake If my husband knows me at all, I shouldn’t even have to ask for [...]
There’s nothing quite like grabbing a cooked chook while you’re doing your grocery shopping and knowing that dinner is taken care of. Sure, you can throw some potato wedges in the oven and call it a meal (I do…), but if you’re feeling a little more energetic here’s a few ideas: 1. Asian chicken coleslaw [...]
