Roasted Turmeric Cauliflower and Kale Salad
Cruciferous vegetablesΒ play an important role in aΒ plant based diet. They are packed full of nutrients that nourish your body. They are super high in phytochemicals,Β vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin C, folic acid, and fiber.Β Their unusually high content of vitamin C and manganese explainΒ their growing reputation as an antioxidant vegetable group. This salad is a perfect way to combine two powerhouse cruciferous vegetables – kale and cauliflower. With a slight heat from the cauliflower to compliment the zestyness of the massaged kale, this salad is definitely a winner! It’s a perfect detox option as it’s quite light, yet super fulling.Β

Homemade Muesli
I have such fond memories of my mom’s homemade muesli when I was growing up. I remember how she used to make a huge batch and store it in this massive square white Tupperware. I remember how she used to, ever so slightly, toast the batch, not to burn it but to give that delicious crunch. Such fond memories! This inspired me to try re-create her recipe, with a healthy twist. This recipe is particularly great for Diabetics as it is refined sugar free.

Macadamia Nut ‘Cheese’
Before my massive lifestyle changes, I was never a great fan of regular cheese. Yeah I used to eat it, but it wasn’t a necessity. Obviously my pizza’s back in the day used to be laced with the stuff, but other than that, I didn’t really consume much of the stuff. I did, however, love feta cheese. I think it’s something about the saltiness and the texture that really turned my taste buds on. Only recently have I made the decision to stop eating it, purely for the fact that it, like other cheese, is pretty much rot. Yup, no more feta for me please and thank you! Luckily, there…
