This is a great way to sneak in some healthy and nutrient packed leafy greens, and you can add whatever you seasoning your like to cater for anyone’s taste preferences. Kale offers some of the following benefits:
These are my all-time favourite treats to put together that always impress - even if it’s just me eating them ;-)
What’s great about these is that you can easily change the flavours by using a different combination of nuts, and also play around with your favourite flavours of Young Living essential oils or citrus zest. I love Jaffa flavour so I’ve used an orange essential oil here, but you could also add in Peppermint, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit or even Lavender!
Read MoreIt has been a long time since I stepped onto school grounds - and this weekend (2nd August2 2014) I was given the opportunity to do a cooking demo at the Kenmore South State School Country Fair! So I set up in the main hall in front of centre stage, and cooked up a quick, healthy and delicious meal :-)
This is a great grain-free/gluten-free/diary-free meal for those with any intolerances, and most people can’t tell (or just love!) that it’s only cauliflower that’s used to create the ‘rice’. So a great way to get extra veggies into a meal, and the options are really endless with what you can create. In this demo I opted for an Italian flavour where I used some Chorizo, kalamata olives, tomatoes and fresh thyme.
Read MoreSwitching up your animal proteins is often suggested, and this way you also access the different vitamins and nutrient profiles that are within each different type. One source that is probably not as common, is turkey!
Turkey is rich source of protein, and also a great source ofiron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. If you can, do buy organic turkey, it means it won't contain any of the harmful pesticides, herbicides and antibiotics that are often given to them. Which means that you're not getting these harmful chemicals!
If you're in Australia then I'd definitely recommend purchasing turkey from GreenAg, they even play classical music for their birds to ensure they live as stress-free as possible!
Read MoreI absolutely love a good pesto dip, but unfortunately many of the store-bought varieties are full of inflammatory industrial seed/vegetable oils and typically contain other flavours and preservatives. So I needed to look at alternatives, and making your own is surprisingly easy!
I love this recipe because it also sneaks in some extra greens with the spinach or rocket, and adding some nuts to it gives it a beautiful texture and fills you up too.
Read MoreAfter we cut grains out of diet, the one grain that I really quite missed was rice. Unfortunately even this gluten-free grain doesn't sit well with me, so I was very excited when I came across cauliflower rice!
And what a great idea, it gives you the texture of rice, but at the same time you're easily getting another 1-2 servings of vegetables at the same time!
Read MoreI had the pleasure this morning of doing some cooking outside of Sherwood Road Organic Meats, where I used some of their ‘chuck steak’ in this delicious simple and warming slow cooked beef recipe. Their meats have so much flavour on their own (definitely a reflection of how they raise and what they feed their animals!) so I’ve kept this recipe really simple - and just in time for the colder months that are approaching.
I combined it with some cauliflower ‘rice’, which is a really good grain-free alternative to rice (for those that might have sensitivities to rice), and it also allows you to sneak in a few more vegetables into the meal :-) This was definitely a talking point for people today - and you can also easily transform it to take on other flavours. With this particular recipe I simply used the same ingredients that I used with the beef to transfer that same flavour across into the ‘rice’.
