I’ve mentioned my adoration of organic broccoli with olive oil, salt and pepper several times before. However, I thought that seeing as I eat this dish pretty much every day, either as a light lunch, side dish with fish at night or a “starter” before a dessert of a few organic bananas with inca inchi butter, I’d better give my beloved greens their own recipe post.

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.
It’s Not All Doom and Gloom
If you’re listening to health-conscious thought-leaders and paying attention to the media sources daring to inform us of inconvenient truths, then chances are you’re at least vaguely aware that we are living in a pretty toxic world.
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.
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?

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.
Sneaky Swaps Part 2: A Sweeter Life
It’s early January. New Year’s resolution season! The time of year that we resolve to change ourselves for the better, implement new habits, commit to carefully-planned routines and promise ourselves that we WILL use our gym membership (for the record, I only put this last one in here to stay relatable … I genuinely look forward to gym classes). Among the lists of admirable intentions, is often something nutrition-related, and more recently sugar – specifically the refined white stuff -seems to be something that people are determined to give the flick. AND FOR GOOD REASON.
Leftover Lamb Leg & Gravy
If a sweet little lamb is going to be sacrificed for human nourishment, then it’s only fair that not one remnant of that baby sheep goes to waste.
