Roasted Beetroot Broccoli and Green Bean Salad
The myth I love busting the most about healthy eating, is that salads are boring, tasteless ad un-fulfilling. But this, my friends, could not be further from the truth. Salads allow you to bring as much creativity to the plate as you like. Layering and combining different flavours, colours and textures is one way to expand your salad experience – and create something different and delicious. So that’s exactly what I did with this roasted Beetroot, Broccoli and Green Bean Salad. Firstly, the star of the salad – the crimson coloured cubes of earthy sweet beetroot, take this whole dish to another level. Not only in taste – but health…

The Benefits of Tongue Scraping
For the past few weeks I have been trialling out the practice of tongue scraping. As we know digestion begins in the mouth, it’s important for us to take care of our oral health as it plays a large role in our overall wellbeing. Scraping the tongue daily removes any build-up on the tongue, which, if left untreated, can lead to bad breath and may house a significant number of bacteria. This build up can often look like a coating on your tongue and it generally consists of undigested food and drink particles, which can lead to a build up of bacteria. This film that builds up can often compromise the digestive and immune systems…

Cashew Vegan Cream Cheese
Nick generously gifted me a Mad Millie Vegan Cheese Kit for Christmas, which I finally got around to trying out. I’ve dabbled in a few vegan cheese recipes in the past, but mainly being cheese sauces and my macadamia cheese. I was super keen to test out a ‘proper’ vegan cheese recipe and so this Cashew Vegan Cream Cheese was the result. Before changing my diet and lifestyle, I did eat regular dairy cheese – however I never sincerely missed it when I decided to cut it from my diet. I experimented with a few ‘nut’ cheeses but very rarely would make them – unless it was a cashew cheese…

Pelorus Bridge Camping Adventure
While I love sharing my healthy recipes on the blog, I also like to share tidbits of my life including the beautiful places we adventure to. This week I wanted to share our recent camping adventure to Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve. Taking photographs of the delicious recipes created for this blog is so rewarding. However, I also have so much fun capturing the beauty of nature, especially in this magical country. For this getaway, I decided to bring the camera with and collect a couple of images of our various walks around the area. It was a glorious and hot summers day, and there was heaps of visitors at the…

Vegan Caramel Squares with Activated Buckinis
Living simplistically can be so rewarding. More and more of us are making the conscious effort to reduce waste, buy less, save more and ultimately live more simply. There’s so many little things we can do, that can really add up in a big way. Change in the minority, I believe, can have a massive ripple effect and if we all work hard together to spread the word, the benefits for our future generations and our planet will surely come into fruition. I was inspired this week, by simple living, and hence decided to make a simple recipe, with simple ingredients, that tasted simply wonderful. I succeeded, and this Vegan Caramel…

My Highlights of 2017
A new year, and new blog post. I hope everyone has settled back into the swing of things and for those who made resolutions – I hope they’re going strong. Personally, I’ve never been one to set New Years Resolutions, but I have set a few habits, hopes, goals and dreams in place that I’d like to achieve this year. If it’s anything like 2017, I’m so excited!
