When I was in primary school, my absolute favourite baked good was mum’s homemade milk-chocolate chip muffins. They were seriously the best. Light, fluffy and loaded with sweet and creamy chocolate chips. Like most kids, I had quirky ways of eating certain foods. I loved nothing more than to nibble the buttery muffin parts around the choccie chips, leaving big mounds of chocolate sections for an epic chocolate-in-my-mouth “explosion” afternoon tea finale.

“Banana-Cake Batter” In-A-Jar Dessert
I don’t always use the phrase “BOMB DIGGITY”, but when I do it’s because of taste sensations like this super-easy dessert “parfait”.
This baby only features two ingredients, but the technique and uh-maz-zing flavour combo is the absolute shizzle, I’m not even exaggerating when I say that it honestly tastes like banana cake batter. Who doesn’t love eating cake batter by the spoonful?
Pecan, Date and Banana “Butter” Muffins
The next time you have 2 large overripe bananas growing lonely in your fruit bowl make them feel useful again by preparing these muffins. I call them pecan “butter” muffins because they using 2 cups of pecans – as luck would have it – acts as both the “flour” and “butter” component. The beauty of this method is that the muffins are naturally gluten, grain and dairy-free – perfect for those with allergies or on temporary gut-healing protocols, needing to avoid such ingredients but still wanting a treat.
A Day On My Plate
A blogger fave of mine, Megan from detoxinista.com, writes regular posts entitled; What I Ate, where she shares photos and explanations of what she’s eating lately. I find it weirdly fascinating to take a glimpse at someone else’s nutrition habits. I’m guessing this strange interest is what makes me cut out to be a nutritionist.
Safely Kicking Goals
In my last post, I wrote about how after years of being sceptical about the gym environment, I now find myself shamelessly addicted and quite the convert. I admitted that my scepticism came from my preconceived ideas about gym-buff stereotypes and not liking some of the trends that sweep through the fitness industry.
I never thought I’d become a gym junkie!
Keeping in theme with 2017 – the year of fun! Today I’m talking about recent obsession; the Les Mills classes at my local gym.
I never thought I had it in me to become a gym junkie (or whatever the correct title is for someone addicted to group atmospheres and endorphin rushes), yet here I am, quite the convert. I’ve always preferred outdoor sports; jogging, walking, hiking, swimming and team sports, such as netball and tennis. Sure I played badminton indoors in eighth grade, became quite a stickler for my fave pilates DVD, and wasn’t opposed to using the treadmill on rainy days, but that was the extent of my ‘indoor training’.
I had this stigma that gyms are for people that …
Sex-noise Salmon with Seductive Veggie (s)Mash
This meal is seriously worthy of it’s kinky title. The salmon alone will induce the foodgasm of a lifetime. No joke, you’ll be hard pressed to contain the urge to happy dance in your seat and grunt with delight as you savour each flavour-bomb mouthful. Then you discover the seductive bed of mixed vegetable mash. The playful side dish keeps drawing you back for more as you take time to appreciate the moorish creaminess, subtle spiciness, addictive sweetness and grounding saltiness. The crispy skin garnish takes the presentation and texture to another level – who doesn’t love a well-seasoned, absurdly crunchy and deliciously fatty salmon skin?

A Random Game
Detoxinista.com. What a glorious resource. I gig the innovative recipes and conversational tone. My fave posts are Megan’s What-I-Ate-Wednesday musings, where she shares what she eats in a day with an explanation as to why. As a nutritionist (and curious human), the psychology and sociology of how and why we eat intrigues me.
2017 Is Going To Be The Freakin Bomb!
This year I want to have LOTS of fun. 2016 was far, far, FAR too serious for my liking. I felt like I was always studying and if I wasn’t studying, I was working and if wasn’t doing either of those things, it was because I was unwell (thanks to this dilemma) and I felt like absolute shit.
