For those of you following the 5:2 diet and madly trying to find low calorie options, I have redesigned this classic cabbage soup recipe. Sure, this soup does not really look that pretty but it makes a massive 15 servings (250 g a serve), yet only 37 calories per serve, which if your hungry on fast days, keeps you feeling full and […] -
Amazing, healthy and low fat berry smoothie. Original recipe is from my personal trainer, Nicole who trains with the West Australian Angels, https://www.facebook.com/WesternAustraliaAngels. I am so grateful to Nicole for sharing this with me, I just love it. I took out some ingredients such as almonds (if I was training with th […] -
This is my version of the Thermomix broccoli salad in the Thermomix every day cookbook. I saw it posted in a Thermomix forum the other day and liked the look of it. However, I don’t really like apple in salads and I don’t really like yogurt either so I made my own dressing and included kale and chia seeds. Granted th […] -
I just found this funky looking packet of black rice when in Perth, so brought it home to try some. I also looked in the health benefits of it and this is what I found:
“Move over, blueberries; black rice is being hailed as the new superfood by US scientists. And it’s cheaper, too. “A spoonful of black rice bran contai […] -

Kale, the new super food. Its everywhere and for very good reason. I have included down the bottom of this post all the health benefits of Kale. I am now slowly bringing more and more of it into my diet. We were given some freshly grown asparagus the other day so thought I would make up a soup but add some kale to it. It was beautiful, […]

I just picked up the Woolworths fresh magazine yesterday while waiting at the checkout and I must admit I do not really get all that inspired by their recipes, however, I was really interested to try this quinoa version of a Risotto. It is beautiful and so nice to know you are not eating a huge amount of carbs. Try it for yourself, very e […]

I have been cooking with Celeriac for a while now but was yet to try it in a salad. It’s a beautiful fresh salad and to my absolute shock, my children loved it! Weird, one kid wont eat tomato’s and the other won’t eat pumpkin but they both ate raw celeriac and fennel!! Goes beautifully with my succulent pulled beef recip […]

My own original recipe for super duper powerful truffles. These little babies contain antioxidant, cancer fighting, 3 oclockitis chocolate craving goodness. These little balls give you a natural energy high. Might not be a good idea to eat them after dinner! And bonus, my kids love them.
I’m not sharing these on the website. But the […] -
There are some other Thermomix beetroot cake recipes floating around out there and some are really yummy, however, I wanted to take them a step further. What if I cut out half the butter and the dark chocolate and introduced some more healthier options. Possible? Hell yes. It works out beautifully and has a much lower calorie count + as a […]
