Healthy Valentine’s Day Chocolate
The Natural New Age Dad is quite fond of a bit of chocolate, so I thought I would make him a healthy, home-made version for Valentine’s Day. It’s got that extra special ingredient – love! ♥♥♥ I bought Sarah Wilson’s book, I Quit Sugar last week and her ‘Raspberry Ripple’ recipe caught my eye. Yes, I changed it a bit and thermified it too. Okay, so this is what you need: 1/2 cup or 100g organic Banaban coconut oil 1/3 cup or 50g organic butter (I think it would work just fine...
Read MoreI’m dreaming of a (healthy) White Christmas!
White Christmas is one of those traditional foods that only makes an appearance once a year! To be honest, I wasn’t really ever a fan. Sickly sweet with an oily copha taste….. hmmm…….

Last weekend, I had all my family at my house for my Mum’s 60th birthday. I decided to go with a healthy BBQ with a bit of a gourmet twist and a few treats thrown in. Most of it was homemade, but there were a few shortcuts. Hey, a girl has to be realistic! We decorated and catered on a budget. It was so lovely and relaxing to have it at home. Later in the night, when all the candles were on, it was magical sitting out on the deck. My photos are not that great as I was running around like a chook with my...
Read MoreEasy GF Zucchini Slice for the Thermomix
This recipe reminds me of my childhood in the eighties, when zucchini slice was the bees knees! It still tastes good. We eat vegetarian every second night and this slice comes in handy for those nights when I have lost inspiration in coming up with another lentil recipe! This will take no more than ten minutes to whip up and throw in the oven (thank you thermy). There is also the bonus of having leftovers for lunch. It is equally nice hot or cold. Okay, so this is what you need: 1 small organic onion, peeled and...
