I love food; I love shopping for it, prepping it, cooking it and of course eating it! It is truly one of the pleasures in life. So when I developed my food intolerances (gluten and fructose) just after having my first baby girl, I was devastated. Suddenly I turned from being the person who loved…

CHICKEN, LEMON AND COCONUT SOUP (with Thermomix adaptation)
This is an adaptation to Quirky Jo’s soup, but I’ve made it FODMAPS friendly and added in the brown rice/almond meal blend that is an awesome, nutritious way to thicken soups, increase their protein and make them more manly!

Turkish Delight Bliss Balls

Protein
Protein is obviously needed for muscle repair and growth, maintenance of the organs and to keep the immune system functioning properly. The human body can’t store protein like it can with carbs, so we have to obtain it from our food. The amount of protein per day varies between the individual: on average the…
Apricot, Coconut and Chia balls
These balls are great for school lunches or a pre/post post workout energy kick, due to the oats, which are a great complex carb that provide us with slow releasing energy. Good amounts of protein also, with the chia and sunflower seeds, (which kids will not even notice) plus are refined sugar free and high…
