Caffeine Kick Start
I love caffeine….the stronger the better! It gets me pumped for the day, it makes me think clearer, plus surprisingly its good for blood pressure in the right moderation. This is one of my breakfast options in my new spring cleansing weight loss and wellness program. It’s easy to make, and kindve like breakfast and…
Mason Jar Salads
I had totally forgotten about how delicious, easy and convenient Mason Salad Jars are until the very funny Hoffy reminded me that that they work well for her when she’s on a health mission. You can make a few at a time so you’re organised for the week, they are versatile as you chop and…

Beefed up Tabbouleh
This is exactly what it’s called….Beefed up Tabbouleh. It’s beefed up in the fact that it’s served with beef on the side, but also it’s tabbouleh plus more! The photo doesn’t really do it justice, I should’ve put a bit more love into it….but photography is not my strong point! I’ve been doing this salad…

Festive Salad with lemon dressing
This salad looks festive with most ingredients in it red and green and the golden nuts. The prefect salad to have at the Christmas dinner table with either meat or seafood, and the lemon dressing helps cut through the fat of the meat. It looks impressive and is pretty healthy too. I made it for…
Jamie’s Turkey Modified
So some of Jamie Olivers recipes are healthy, whilst some are totally indulgent and covered in oil and loaded with butter. I’ve made this slightly healthier by leaving out a few ingredients etc and adding in some others to make it gluten free and fructose friendly. Ingredients: 5 kg turkey (or whatever size you need…
Double Choc Banana Cake
There’s not too much sugar in this cake; 1/2 cup plus the dark chocolate chips isn’t really too much spread over a whole cake. It’s super easy to make, plus it doesn’t take too long to cook. Leave the icing off if wanting to keep it half healthy though! I was making it for my…
Super Boozy Rum Ball Slice
I tried to make these healthy and it just didn’t work! I accidentally put too much rum in and then it didn’t taste sweet enough. So I melted approx 100g chocolate to pour a thin layer over the top and made a slice of it, to sweeten it up a bit. It’s slightly healthier using…
