With ANZAC day coming up I found this post I’d started 2 years a go but never got around to publishing. In contrast to 2015, and fortunately for me, the cold weather hasn’t quite rocked up yet. We’re enjoying a rather warm Autumn. ANZAC Day 2015: ANZAC Day, the one time of year I actually… Continue reading Anzac Day Cookies

Dark Chocolate Banana Pops
White Night 2016 was spent wandering the streets, checking out everything the night had on to offer. One of the best little yes we stumbled across was a stand, on it’s own, selling chocolate coated, frozen banana pops. I’d seen home made versions of these nana pops up on Instagram every now and then, but… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Banana Pops
A Carrot Cake Obsession
I’ve been a bit slack lately with getting posts up. I do have heaps of posts that are partly completed so hopefully I can get some posted soon. I have a confession: I’m obsessed with anything carrot cake. Traditional carrot cake (gluten free for me of course), raw vegan carrot cake with cashew cream frosting,… Continue reading A Carrot Cake Obsession
A Paleo Easter
One thing I miss since going gluten free would be the traditional hot cross bun. During the weeks leading upto Easter, you could say they were a rather large staple in my diet. My favourite were the fruit filled kind and I’d eat them smothered in melted peanut butter or Nutella. Sickeningly good I know.… Continue reading A Paleo Easter

I made a simple chocolate Easter egg recipe and… Continue reading A Raw Easter

These two Easter treats are aimed at the young and young at heart. First up for the kids is a healthy, yummy snack and… Continue reading Easter Treats for the Kids
Cauliflower Shepherds Pie
Traditionally, Shepherds pie is made in winter with creamy, cheesy mashed potato on top, making it the perfect, warming comfort dish. I can conjure up images in my mind of sitting around a fireplace with a steaming bowl of Shepherds pie, just hot enough to slightly scald my tongue. It’s a hearty, healthy meal already,… Continue reading Cauliflower Shepherds Pie

When I decided to finally start up a blog of my food creations and photography it was coming up to Valentines Day and this post was supposed to be my very first published blog post but I never got round to finishing it, until now.
