I’ve been busy over the last couple of weeks, launching my podcast and re-launching my 12 week program. So it was only natural that this morning I woke up feeling a little sore and sorry for myself. So I honoured my body’s needs, and today I’ve been hanging around the house, chilling out, listening to podcasts…

Autumn Pumpkin Quinoa Salad
As the weather gets a little colder, there’s a temptation to move to only cooked foods. However, a few salads here and there still have their place, especially for lunches-on-the-go, barbeques, or as a side dish to a warming winter’s meal like a lamb roast or slow cooked beef. Here’s a simple wholefood quinoa…
12 Recipes to Warm You as the Weather Gets Chilly
Is it starting to cool down where you are right now? Although I’m fortunate to live in Byron Bay, with its mild and super-sunny autumn days (yay!), it’s getting quite chilly here at night. So I reckon it’s time to cook some warming, nourishing dishes that make us feel all cosy inside! Here are 12 awesome…
Choc Beetroot Truffles
Choccy balls with a superfood edge? yes please! Beetroot and chocolate are just made to be together. Beetroot is naturally sweet and adds a depth of flavour that is just divine! However, grated beetroot would have been too wet for this recipe, so I used beetroot powder instead. You can find beetroot powder at most…
Date-Free Caramel Chocolates
Given that it’s nearly Easter and all, I was inspired to make a healthier version of those ol’ skool caramel creme eggs (you know the ones!). Because who said Easter had to be unhealthy? It’s fairly well known in the raw food world that if you want to make a dairy free, gluten free, paleo caramel,…
Caramel Peanut Smoothie
This smoothie is decadent and dreamy… it’s seriously high in protein, and sooooo filling! If you think you can’t get through till lunch just on one smoothie… I dare you to try this one. Warning: Please don’t use just any peanut butter for this recipe. Most commercial peanut butters are not good for you at all. Once…
Chilli Chicken With Rich Tomato Sauce
This recipe was a total accident. Normally when I make something like this I would add mushrooms and kale. However, I started cooking the casserole, turned it down to a gentle simmer, and then dashed out the door to pick something up from a friend’s place… and forgot to add the mushrooms! And then I went…
Crunchy Choc Orange Cheesecake
There are times in every woman’s life where you just need comfort food. And celery sticks and dip are not gonna cut it. I was a little premenstual (ok, a LOT premenstrual!) last week (imagine tears, meltdowns and overwhelm!). I was due for a catch up with a couple of close friends and I nearly…
Cauli and Roast Carrot Cous Cous
Need a healthy, paleo-friendly salad recipe that you can whip up for a dinner or BBQ? I’m ALL about making stuff that’s easy AND delicious! Here’s a healthy salad recipe from my awesome 12 week program, Shiny Healthy You. It’s gluten, dairy and cane sugar free without compromising on taste. Not for one minute. This cauliflower cous cous…
Zucchini Pasta with a Lamb and Eggplant Twist
This recipe all started when I picked up a bag of eggplants for $2 from a roadside stall in Byron Bay. I don’t usually eat a lot of eggplant, but these ones looked particularly good, and besides… it was only $2! I couldn’t resist. Initially, I had the idea to pop some spinach through this…
