This recipe is the our easy, go-to, never-fail birthday cake base. We have been making it for years and everyone always loves it. Making a birthday cake can sometimes feel daunting but trust me, this is so, so easy! My kids make it all the time themselves without any worries. Birthday cakes are so expensive these…
Honey, honey….. what’s the best honey?
Honey, honey….. what’s the best honey? We were having a chat about honey in our Natural New Age Mum Facebook group the other day (email me to join!) and some of you weren’t aware of what honey is best to buy and which are best to avoid. So, here I am today to share some…
Warm Beetroot and Purple Carrot Salad
I love getting a local fruit and veggie box every week. We have been eating more in season and trying more interesting ingredients. Our last box had beetroot, red onions, purple carrots and rocket so I made a beautiful warm Autumn salad with them. It was so delicious I thought I would share it with…
Cheese and Spinach Rice Cakes

Easy Muesli Bars
This recipe is ridiculously easy to make. Just throw everything in a bowl, mix and bake! As much as I love cooking, keeping up a constant supply of home-made real food for the family can be quite time-consuming. So the easier the recipe, the more chance it is that it will be on high…

Strawberry Coconut Slice (gluten free, dairy free)
Strawberry Coconut Slice (gluten free, dairy free) How good is strawberry season??? So cheap and so yum. Strawberries are however one of the most heavily sprayed crops. If you can’t get organic, make sure you give them a good wash to get as much pesticide off as you can. This slice is super soft…
Chicken and Spinach Fritters
Chicken and Spinach Fritters I love a good fritter! Crispy, crunchy, salty and savoury. Yum. The good thing about fritters is that they are a great budget meal that is kid friendly too. Use up your leftover meat and veg and make them stretch further. These Chicken and Spinach Fritters are a bit different to…
Introducing EveryMite – an allergy friendly super spread!
Introducing EveryMite – an allergy friendly super spread! You have to love a bit of serendipity. I only moved back to Brisbane 18 months ago and I haven’t really met a lot of new people yet. When your kids are in high school you tend to lose that connection with other mums a bit…
