This is an easy to make and easy to digest curry paste which is only chilli, ginger, soy sauce, turmeric and kaffir lime leaves. Blitz it all up or roughly chop them before throwing them into a fry pan or crock pot. Add some chicken stock and coconut milk and its an easy, tasty, healthy…
Pesto, bean, feta and roasted red capsicum salad
So this my sister Andi’s favourite salad. I’ve added a few things like quinoa and roasted parsnip as its a cold day but I think I like this version better. INGREDIENTS: 1 cup quinoa 1.5 cups beans, blanched 1 x roasted red capsicum 2 x parsnips, roasted PESTO DRESSING 1/2 bunch basil handful of kale…
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…
Broccoli, Cranberry and Walnut Salad
I went to a lovely 1st Birthday party on Sunday for the very special Charlee Rose and I heard some of the ladies there talking about this yummy broccoli salad. So I tasted it and it was awesome! The flavours all totally worked together, sweet, crunchy, and so healthy. I’ve modified it slightly to make…
Vietnamese Slaw
The lemon zest, toasted sesame and Vietnamese mint work really well together in this salad. It’s super tasty and is low in fat. By adding the chicken and cashews it increases the protein too, so it makes it quite balanced. (Gluten free, dairy free, fructose friendly, low in salicylates. If fructose intolerant be careful not…
Sugar Free Banana Muffins
My little ones Grace and Ivy love making these with me and love eating them too! They’re refined sugar free, so I like popping them in a lunch box for kinder instead of a muesli bar. They are great fresh (only the first day if making Gluten Free) or yummy toasted with some nut…
Nut Butter
You definitely need a thermomix or food processor for this recipe, sorry for those of you that don’t have one! Nut butter is a necessity for me, on toast in the morning, I add it to pestos if I’ve run out of nuts, and I add it to soups and curries with my gut healing…
Chicken & cucumber green tahini salad
This tahini dressing is amazing and will keep in the fridge for at least a week. It’s good as its a bit of a different dressing. I make double and store it in a jar and it’s great over any salad. It’s so easy and quick to make and is great as a midweek lunch…
Raw Choc Raspberry Brownie Bliss Balls
I know these are a mouthful to say but they are pretty damn good to eat! I’m obsessed with bliss balls. They are so quick to make, full of protein and healthy fats, and ready as soon as you’ve rolled them……a great snack for the run. They hit a sweet/choc fix too and are a relatively healthy treat….as…
Chicken and chia burgers
So I have fussy eaters, two of them in fact, and the joke is on me as I used to laugh at both my sisters kids when they were little and fussy, and say how my kids will eat everything! It is so frustrating as a parent (and a Nutritionist) to try and get your…
Lamb Lettuce Cup Burgers
OK so I know the burger is apparently all about the bun, but when you can’t eat gluten it is seriously not worth the extra carbs, as most GF breads and buns are pretty average! Swap your bread or bun and wrap your burger in a big lettuce leaf. Even if you are lucky enough…
