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…
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…
Toasted Pumpkin, Avocado and Mint salad
High in fibre and B vitamins, combined with the protein of the walnuts, this salad is filling. The dressing is what makes it though; hardly original, but this dressing goes with everything! If having for dinner, serve with a bit of grilled fish or chicken for a low fat, healthy meal. 1 cup brown and…
Gut healing Chicken Bone Broth
It’s officially bone broth and soup season! Bone broths are all the go at the moment, and with very good reason. Bone broths contain gelatin, which helps heal gut inflammation and is also great for inflamed joints and the immune system. INGREDIENTS: 1 kilo of fresh free range chicken legs (or chicken pieces, carcass) 1…
Thai Chicken Pumpkin Soup
I know its getting warmer, Hallelujah….about time! But I love soup any time of the year as its so flexible, nourishing and filling. Have it for lunch, dinner or leftovers. Its a great way to get some gut healing chicken stock into you also, if you’re into that. I’ll post my recipe for that also,…

Turmeric Cauliflower Rice
So cauliflower rice is a great alternative if you’re trying to reduce your carbs. It also looks like rice, so I managed to trick my kids into eating it by mixing it with rice and a few other salad ingredients too. I add just a bit of turmeric to it; I add turmeric to everything…
Cypriot Salad
Who says you can’t eat healthy on Christmas Day! This salad is brimming with nutrients and fibre, packs a punch with flavour and goes well with any protein that you’re planning on serving on Christmas Day. Plus it will help balance out the plum pudding! Its festive looking too with the greens and the red…
Pumpkin, Kale and Blueberry salad
Everyone is obsessed with kale at the moment! It’s a great green and super healthy; full of fibre, antioxidants, iron, calcium and B vitamins to name a few. You actually need to be careful not to eat too much raw though, as it can interfere with iodine absorption. I think it actually tastes best when…
Healthy Rice Paper Sausage Rolls
Sausage rolls are loaded with the fat from the pastry and the fat from the sausage and veal mince (not to mention whatever other questionable animal is in the mince.) These are made with rice paper rolls and lean chicken mince so much less fattening than pastry, and less fiddly I think than messing about…
