Read MoreChia Wonder Cereal
/
For anyone who has watched Dragon's Den, you may recognize 'Holy Crap' as one of the most successful business deals that's ever gone down on the show. Holy Crap is a breakfast cereal made of only a few natural ingredients. As you may confer from its name, the soluble and insoluble fibre content contributes to happy bowels. The only problem with Holy Crap is that it's holy expensive!! Here is my version that is yummier and cheaper.
Read MoreThe dangers of non-stick cookware - is there a healthier option?
/
A few years ago, it was time to scrap the Caphalon non-stick frying pan that we had been using. Layers had been shed and the underbelly was exposed. I had some sense that this wasn't a good thing but I wasn't sure about the details. So I went on one of my research bents to determine what we should replace it with that would meet specific criteria for healthy living.

Read MoreRecipes - Caesar Dressing and Herbed Vinaigrette
/
I generally steer people clear of commercial dressings, even the 'natural' ones - ya never know what quality oils they are using. Also the use of clear bottles means consistent exposure to light, which leads to potential rancidity for the oils that they do use. So I'm offering up a couple of simple options for dressings that you can make in 5 - 15 minutes.
Read MoreEggs, cholesterol, free range, Omega 3 and other info about what the chicken laid
/
Eggs, those little oval perfect food bodies in a shell - the ones that need to peel right for the universe to be okay. Are they really an issue for cholesterol? How many can we eat? Which ones should we buy - is free range better than Omega 3 eggs? Is the white sufficient to eat or should I be including the yolk? So many questions for such a little food-bite.

Read MoreFiddle Diddles (Chocolate Protein Snack Bar)
/
I decided to adapt my beloved Fiddle Diddles to make a healthy, homemade alternative to protein bars to ensure that I (and you) have a snack that is providing enough nutrition to keep the brain focused and to maintain energy throughout the day. I made them 'not too sweet' so they don't induce cravings or become addictive (and to keep the carbs lower for those needing to keep their weight down).
Read MoreFitness Recovery Shake
/
This is a great shake to have within 30 minutes of an intense workout, whether it is power or cardio based. This is the time when the muscles are most ripe to recover their stored sugar (glucose) supply and protein can most easily be shuttled into the muscle tissue alone with the glucose. We keep fat low or non-existent so the digestion and uptake of the sugar and protein are not slowed down.

Read MoreChickpea Crepes

These chickpea crepes have become a staple in my kitchen, acting as a stand-in for the role that bread usually plays. They're soft, comforting, and offer an alternative carrier for sandwiches. The batter stores well for at least four days (maybe more, but I wouldn't know because they get gobbled up too fast in my house).
