Spring is sneaking in and Tomato Toast is on the menu
Tomato Toast Fiber Points 9+ I love this recipe; it’s so simple, and you can add various herbs and seeds to boost the diversity of something so simple. Sourdough bread (to get the fiber points) or a nice bloomer. You want bread that has a good surface area when you slice it. If you are […]
Easy Laksa Curry
Along with Indian food, Thai is up there with my favourites. It’s always full of flavour and tastes fresh and healthy! This is an easy recipe for making veggie or adding chicken, prawns or tofu if you wish. As with all the recipes I share, the more variety of veg you use, the more fiber […]

What is Kombucha?
Kombucha Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that’s really good for your gut microbes. If you have been reading these emails or following me on social for a while, you know I am doing everything I can to support my gut health. It’s a healthy option for a refreshing ‘soft drink’.
