The perfect seasonal slaw to take along to a bbq or cosy indoor catch up with friends and family. Love this recipe teamed with grilled fish such as barramundi or snapper. Grilled chicken also works well and for pure vego add a juicy handful (about 1 cup) of cooked chickpeas or butterbeans to your serve.
A few quick tips: Use your choice of veges and fruits in the slaw based on what’s in season and available to you, for examples:
swap red apple for green apple
fennel for zucchini
snow peas for sugar snaps
red cabbage for green cabbage
use any fresh herbs you like in this recipe

Moving into these cooler months means it’s time to start cooking really delicious dishes that warm your body, sustain your energy by including ingredients with quality nutrition. I’m going to help you tick that box with my Harissa Baked Eggplant with a Spiced White Rice Pilaf. It’s impressive without fuss and full of flavour.
The beauty of a pilaf is that it essentially cooks itself (win!). I’ve used a SunRice Low GI White Rice in mine because I love how it picks up the flavour of the herbs and spices. It tastes light, warming but wholesome all in one and being a Low GI, long grain, white rice ..read more

Fresh, abundantly flavoured and full of fibre, protein and micronutrients to fuel your health, this Crispy Skin Barramundi with Vietnamese style Salad is guaranteed to make your taste buds and tummy happy.
Barramundi is a very light fish, yet still rich in:

+ iodine to support the production of thyroid hormones and the function of the thyroid gland which governs the body’s metabolism. Iodi ..read more

Sitting here posting these today but they’ve been sitting in my freezer for the past month. Smart-self back in December (amidst all that chaos) thought January-hit-the-ground-running-self would really appreciate a quick snack and these were the result.
They taste like you nut-ella-what, but better, and have the added beauty and bonus nutrients such as:
magnesium in cacao,
fibre in dates,
plant proteins and healthy fats to satiate appetite in hazelnuts,
and if you pop in some of your go-to protein powder you’re making them a skin loving, extra protein rich snack too.
