Calm The Fark Down Porridge Bowl

If this bowl of;

  • poo pushing
  • nerve-calming
  • veggie-full
  • salted caramel
  • blood sugar balancing

GOODNESS could talk, it would say;

“Calm the FARK down”

– Sincerely, your porridge bowl

Let’s briefly talk ingredients;

  • Wheat-free oats – poo-evacuating roughage for the win
  • Cauliflower – sneaky veg for liver-loving measure
  • Tahini – calcium-rich creaminess
  • Medjool dates – sweetness with dump-persuading fibre
  • Cinnamon – to balance blood sugar
  • Maca – stress-modulating caramel powder
  • Banana – magnesium-rich and shaped like a glorious poo
  • Salted Macadamia butter – bowel-lubricating fats and minerals

And now, for the recipe. I shan’t waste your time with loads of pictures, embedded adds and ramblings about why vitamins are amazing and pooing is essential. YOU KNOW THIS.

Calm The F A R K Down Porridge Bowl

  • 1/3 cup wheat-free oats
  • 1 heaped Tablespoons tahini
  • 2 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 cup steamed cauliflower blended with 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon maca powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 ripe banana, to serve
  • 1 massive (and I mean mega) spoon FULL of salted macadamia butter (for those that don’t take things literally, this is macadamia butter that has been spiked with pink or sea salt)

Place your cauliflower liquid in a saucepan with oats and dates. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat and simmer until thick, soft and creamy. Try breaking your dates up with the mixing spoon. Turn off the heat and add stir through maca, cinnamon and tahini.

Serve with your ripe banana which you were thoughtful enough to slice up and that generous (AND I MEAN GENEROUS) dollop of salted macadamia butter. If you like crunch like yours truly, add a handful of roasted cashews to the top! Yumbo Jumbo! Now, retreat outside to the sunshine with a glorious read – I know of one if you’re looking – and calm the F A R K down so that you can rest and digest!

Periods, Poo & A Glorious You

Periods, Poo & A Glorious You: My First Book Baby

Holy Heck she is finally here.

Isn’t she a beauty. I know, I know. She has my cervix.

I was reluctant to become a book Mamma. To spread my legs and let the literary gods impregnate me with the drive to create a unique and non-cliched publication.

Thankfully I felt the fear and got pregnant (with paper) anyway.

My baby knows what she likes and told me what she needed to be. She refused to be free of typos. No matter how many times I lovingly combed her pages, she’d sneakily play hide and seek with minor corrections. “Mamma” she whispered to me last night before I put her down “now our glorious audience have a game to play when they read – where’s whoopsies?”. Isn’t she a delight? She is challenging my deep-seated perfectionist tendencies and I love her for it.

She insisted on being playful, lively, honest, candid, and, well;

G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S.

Hence her title.

Despite her front cover sporting a delightful Va-J-J, she is a uni-sex read for all ages and stages. If you have a body and sense of humour she was made for you. Periods was such an ace pairing for Poo that we rolled with it. Again, we emphasise as a mother-daughter duo; SHE IS NOT ALL ABOUT PERIODS. Lads gather ’round. What she’s on about is health … but not in a way that you are likely familiar.

She is a collection of my personal anecdotes (mostly surrounding my path from borderline-dead to robust health), orgasmic recipes (start salivating now), jokes and cheek (so much cheek) and health information imparted through cartoons, analogies and a whole lot of heart-felt humour. My baby is ready to play.

She loves;

  • Making others laugh – for a long, long time. And then when they think back to what they were laughing about, they start laughing all over again. She’s already doing this.
  • Sharing recipes that are simple, taste orgasmically delicious and ‘just happen to be’ stupendously nourishing
  • Airing my dirty laundry and poking fun at me wherever she can. I thought this didn’t start happening until the teenage years. Sighs.
  • Dropping cheeky F-bombs where no other phrase will do. The apple of me eye, I’m telling you.

She refuses to;

  • Tell you what to do
  • Make your mind up for you
  • Preach
  • Lure people into bandwagon carriages. She’d rather dance alongside you whilst YOU beat the drum that she’s gently supported you in building.

She’s already a social media tart.

Check her out below – she cannot wait to meet you.

Nutrition With a Difference

When I completed placement in a nutrition clinic as part of my university degree I felt uncomfortable in telling people what to do.

Prescribing supplements wasn’t my jam – unless someone was severely deficient or the supplements were food based.

I would cringe at the idea of prescribing a certain ‘diet’ – other than one based on whole foods, organic where possible and including lots of brightly coloured plant foods.

The ‘sweet’ talk (sorry) ends here.

BILF (Bowl I’d like to …)

Well not actually, though I have been known to make suggestive noises when I bite into sumptuous preparations, I do not, repeat DO NOT, make love to my food. Hopefully, however, I grabbed your attention with the title, and now you’re thinking; hmmm orgasmic dinner bowl … I’m intrigued.

Life After An Eating Disorder

A friend and I were chatting the other week and it dawned on us that there is very little written on the topic of life after an eating disorder.  There’s plenty of advice given for what to do when someone has an eating disorder ranging from – in my personal experience and opinion; borderline cruelty, to practical, common-sense suggestions, but nothing much after that.

A Few of My Fave Anti-inflammatory Recipes

Most of my recipes are, at least to some extent, “anti-inflammatory.”

All whole foods are anti-inflammatory in one way or another.

  • Some are potent anti-inflammatories, containing compounds that actively reduce inflammation in the body, such as turmeric and it’s active compound curcumin
  • Others, such as berries and sweet spuds, contain antioxidants which fight pro-inflammatory free-radical damage
  • Then there are those that aren’t anti-inflammatory themselves, but are a great replacement for food-like substances that are.

No Nuts About Them Choccie Muffins

I LOVE nuts. And seeds.

Without them, I’d likely starve.

Or, at the very least, spend large chucks of my days drowning in tears of peanut-butter-deprivation-induced misery.

Cashews in creamy soups, pepitas sautéed in coconut aminos and sprinkled on meals, macadamias in these muffins, almonds in bliss balls and inca inchi seed butter with bananas. Dreamy!
