What is your ultimate comfort food? My absolute comfort food is macaroni cheese, chips AND garlic bread! BUT… fiber points = pretty much zero, unless I went to the bother of making the vegan version, but that just doesn’t cut it. For my new subscribers, just to update you on what the fiber points thing […]

Saturday Kitchen – Healing Herbal Teas
I start every day with a healing herbal tea. I rarely use t-bags; I use dried herbs and make up my tea blend depending on what I need for the day ahead, what season we are in, where I am in my cycle and what the weather is doing. Herbs that I use if I […]

Saturday Kitchen, Spicy Chickpeas
I have no image for this week’s recipe (without stealing one off the internet), so you will have to use your imagination!! I never use canned chickpeas, just because of the flavour of them.

Porridge… How do you take yours? Sweet, salty… or both??
Porridge… I think the sweet or salty, milk or water debate can be as divisive as pineapple on a pizza (it’s a solid yes for me!) How do you like your porridge? What are your rules? Me, I like both… sweet and salty in the same bowl… just like popcorn… yes you can mix it […]
Easy Hummus Recipe
I don’t like canned chickpeas, I find there is a taste from them that I don’t like, so I use dried chickpeas. You do need to soak them overnight before you cook them. I batch-cook them in my slow cooker, portion them and keep them in the freezer until I want to use them. I […]
How do you make your chocolate healthier?
This one is for the health-conscious chocolate lover… I am not a fan of milk or white chocolate. I find them too sweet. I was put off at the Cadbury’s factory in Tasmania, and the guide told us that the white chocolate was just the leftovers after they had taken the goodness out of the […]
