Simple Summer Eating! The lovely people at Australian Mushroom Growers asked me to be a part of their “Summer Mushrooms” campaign and I jumped at the chance to do a bit of recipe creation using real, whole foods with Aussie mushies as the star. My first thought was my vegetarian friends. How often they…
Carrot Cake (but it’s a slice)
I had a heap of organic baby carrots in my crisper, so I thought it would be a perfect time to make a carrot cake. Except it sort of turned into a slice! It’s so much easier to pack into lunch boxes when cake is cooked in a slice tin. This recipe at…
The ONE thing I think EVERYONE should be eating.
The one thing I think everyone should be eating. Paleo, vegetarian, high fat, low carb, raw, juicing, gluten free, dairy free, FODMAP, GAPS, SCD, failsafe, low GI, vegan, blood type. What the heck are we supposed to eat these days? Does anybody know? Is anyone else’s head spinning? The nutrition advice seems…
Rich Chocolate Cake
I was so proud of my girl (age 12) for making this cake all by herself. She found a recipe, adapted it, thermified it, Aussified it, cooked it, iced and decorated it when I was out one day. I came home to chocolate cake heaven. When I tasted it, I couldn’t believe how delicious…

Healthy home-made chocolate bars!
Do you have a favourite chocolate bar? I know one blogger who has a thing for Cherry Ripe! Mine would have to be a Caramello Koala, but I haven’t had one in quite some time. Although I think it’s totally fine to have these occasionally, how much more awesome is it when…

Like Chocolate for Women. 53 Shades of Chocolate. Are they not the best book titles ever ? These ladies are geniuses I tell you. Well hold onto your undies, because I am giving away both books and sharing some chocolate love with you. Wayhay!! Many thanks to the lovely Kim Morrison for sharing. I…
Mexican Roast Chicken with Corn Couscous Salad
One thing I really missed about going gluten-free was couscous. I used to eat it at least once a week. It’s so easy and quick to cook. Actually I don’t even really ‘cook’ it – I just pour boiling water over it and let it stand for a few minutes. Waaaaay easier than cooking rice…
