1/4/2020

Introducing the simplest, most classic pumpkin soup that can be made with the bare essentials in your pantry.  While we are all self isolating there's a few things that have shifted to the top of my priority list when it comes to food. 

- Is it cheap to make? Check
- Is it comforting and a crowd pleaser? Check. 
- Can I make it using mostly long life items from my pantry? Check. 
- Can I freeze it for a later date? Check. 

So here it is, classic lockdown pumpkin soup with cannellini beans. ​

Green cleaning with Essential oils

7/9/2018

Comments

 
The word for today is simplification. I am so inspired to use and work with essential oils is because of the way they detox, de-plastic and de-clutter my home, starting with my cleaning cupboard! 

Caustic and toxic ingredients used in most conventional cleaning products can be harmful to our skin, lungs and hormones. I've used eco products for many years now but essential oils are a whole new level of budget friendly, plastic free goodness (not to mention how beautiful they smell!). 

I've put together some of my favourite green recipes and a shopping check list of key ingredients for making your homemade cleaning products.

LYCHEE, COCONUT & STRAWBERRY HOMEMADE ICE POPS

Lychee is basically the creaming soda of the fruit world. It's more than a touch luxurious, with it's exotic spiky red shell and creamy vanilla centre. Last week I asked you guys what summer tastes like to you, and there were sooo many good ideas! We had everything from basil & peach to salted tequila! Thank-you so much for your input,  I hope to create many more in the summery future! There were a couple of people who mentioned lychee, including the winner of the two VIP Tickets to Taste of Auckland (*happening this week!*) thanks to Fisher & Paykel, and lychee just stuck in my mind. ​

DECADENT DARK CHOCOLATE FLOURLESS CAKE plus a giveaway!

20/10/2015

With Christmas is just around the corner I'm practicing a few  decadent recipes, like this rich and velvety flourless dark chocolate cake.  Flourless chocolate cake traditionally calls for castor sugar, but I've replaced it with Chelsea Sugar Organic Coconut Sugar, resulting in rich and deep caramel notes. The delicate crust caves in as it cools, leaving a perfect cavern to fill with whipped cream or yoghurt and berries.   It's safe to say this cake falls into the 20% category of the 80/20 rule (coconut sugar is still sugar)! But hey, treat yourself today and eat ya greens tomorrow! 

Read on, I've also got a $50 Chelsea Prize Pack to giveaway.
