When most people think of the weather in Australia, they think of warm, beautiful, sunny days year round. This was me until moved here two and half years ago. I now know the truth. Yes, there are warm (insanely hot), beautiful, sunny days, IN THE SUMMER. Australia has a seasonal climate which means, we get…

Kale, Fennel & Apple Salad
Last Sunday Hayden and I were walking to the shops to pick up a few ingredients for dinner. I was planning on making our favorite Sausage, Kale & Fennel Pasta but had the weirdest craving for salad so made a last minute change. When we got home I really was craving the pasta and wasn't too excited…
Eggplant with Dukkah and Lemon
You know when people say things like "I just whipped this up!" and it's something amazingly delicious that you think took at least 30 minutes to make? This is one of those things. I was feeling a bit peckish this afternoon but didn't want anything too filling as I've made a massive batch of my Healing…
Asian Noodle Soup
I woke up this morning feeling below average. A bit of a headache, a bit of a sore throat, overall not amazing. With no real plan to do anything to make myself feel better or stop myself from getting properly sick, I went about my morning... Until Hayden texted asking if I needed anything from…
One Pan Chicken Fajitas
So a week or so ago I asked my lovely/readers/followers/fans (okay I won't push it...I take back the fans) what they wanted to see more of on my blog. The general consensus was that you would like more healthy, easy, mains and chocolate, duh. So I spent a good chunk of time yesterday (while half…
Curried Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup
This is similar to my last recipe, Hayden's Super Salad, in a few ways. For starters, I didn't come up with the recipe, and it's also made up of random bits we had laying around the kitchen. My mom took the curried sweet potatoes that we had left over from dinner the night before, added some…
Hayden’s Super Salad
I'm not one of those people that looks in a practically empty fridge, sees a few random ingredients and thinks "I'll make this amazing meal!". No, I am the person that looks in a practically empty fridge and decides to make toast or a jaffle (no shame in eating a jaffle, everyday for every meal...I…
Ginger & Turmeric Tea
This is one of my favorite drinks to make, I've even considered trying to make it into a cocktail..but I feel like that would defeat the healthy/healing purpose of the drink. Anyways, it's extremely easy to make and is the perfect fix for when you're feeling a bit under the weather and don't feel like…
Hummus
This one of those things, similar to my Thai Green Curry Paste recipe, that if you have the time, you could (should) be making at home instead of buying from a store. You pretty much put everything into a food processor and voilà! you've got hummus. Too easy. Makes 3 cups hummus 800g chickpeas (2 cans),…
Healthy Nut & Honey Bar
I'm that annoying person that says they're hungry, leaves the house without eating or grabbing a snack, then complains about how hungry they are until they finally get food an hour or so later. In an effort to not be that person, Hayden suggested that I make a bar, similar to the ones I'm always…
