I understand the appeal of protein powder, but I struggle to stomach it – literally (I don’t like drinking it). I know you can now purchase protein powders that are “natural” and don’t have anything artificial in them, but I’m one of those people that will call a spade a spade when I see one….

Where to Buy Lupins?
Along with the questions of, “can you please just make my food for me?”, (which I am very excited to say that I will soon have homemade lupin products available for sale), I’ve also had a lot of questions about where to purchase this new superfood. It is currently at the Jindera Takeaway and Goldfield…
Seafood, Seafood, Seeeaaaa-food!
I’ve always maintained my daughter has a SEE-food diet, to the extent that she begs for food from strangers – literally! But I’d much rather talk about the amazing SEA-food my parents brought home from their holiday!!! Yummmm! Green prawns, flathead, whiting, baby octopus, cuttlefish, just to name a few! All of which, I am…
Lupin Berry Icy-Poles
An enormous thank you is in order to my darling cousin, who has since coined the term “just like hundreds and thousands”. I received a video of him eating ice-cream with passionfruit, and as he generously sprinkled lupin crumbs on his ice-cream, he gave a cheeky smile and said the phrase. And thus, “just like…

Friday Night Tradition
When friends of ours got us a pasta maker for our wedding, little did they know what they were starting. I immediately fell in love with it and it became a weekly habit in our household – homemade pasta on Friday nights. Now, supposedly, pasta is not good for you. But the Mediterranean diet (vegetables,…
Good-For-You Bread
Humans have been eating bread for thousands of years, but all of a sudden, the professionals are telling us it is bad for you. Why? So many people are being diagnosed with celiac or a gluten intolerance. Why? There are so many theories out there to answer these questions. But the historian and researcher in…
Quick Lunch
I wish I could say I was a fabulous wife and cooked my husband this beautiful hot breakfast for Father’s Day. I didn’t. Instead, a few days earlier, my mum came over (as she often does), and she looked after the kids (as she ALWAYS does) while I cooked us lunch (as I sometimes do)….
