Super Quick Healthy Dinner

This meal literally took me 10 minutes to make, and I managed to squeeze in 5 different kinds of vegetables into it. Recipe below...

Vegetable Couscous with Smoked Salmon and Rocket

Last night's dinner was a bit of an experiment. But it certainly paid off! It was so delicious and had 10 different kinds of vegetables in it so it was super healthy too!

Sugar Free Apple and Cinnamon Porridge- Delicious & Healthy Winter Breakfast

This porridge is so easy to make and so yummy. And it takes hardly anytime at all so you can make it before work!

Winter Dessert- Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate

It's definitely winter at the moment and so after dinner I really feel like something warm for dessert. This chai spiced hot chocolate is so delicious and so healthy at the same time!

Delivery from iherb.com- Love that site!!

I received my iherb order today! So exciting. I got heaps of healthy stuff, including some new products to try. 

Healthy Dessert- poached quince (sugar free!)

I absolutely love dessert. It is definitely my favourite part of any meal. But I always try to make my desserts healthy and sugar-free. That way I can enjoy them totally guilt free! Quince are in season at the moment and it's nice to try something different.

Breakfast this Morning- Purple Porridge!

This morning I felt like a warm breakfast, as it was absolutely freeeeezing! I decided to make my purple porridge (berry porridge really but purple sounds better). It looks very pretty and is super healthy too! Recipe below...

Getting Fit! (or at least trying to...)

The Seventh Duchess and I have been on a bit of a mission to try and get fit and toned. We both aren't overweight or anything but we would love to have toned, taut and terrific thighs and bums! I've slowly been increasing my efforts and I actually feel fitter. And it's all been mostly for free too. Here's how...

What I Had For Dinner- Quick and Healthy

Last night I just could not be bothered cooking. But I still wanted something healthy so I made some delicious dark rye toast with avocado and tomato, followed by an almond milk, banana and date smoothie as dessert. Recipe below...

My Trip to Sydney!!!

I have just got back from four nights in Sydney. And I already wish I was back. So much health, wellness and fashion! My favourites! The Seventh Duchess and I stayed in a little suburb in North Bondi called Ben Buckler. We were right near the beach and there was some really awesome cafes just down the road. One of our faves was Porch and Parlour, which served the amazing quinoa and haloumi salad pictured above. There was even a big dollop of home made tahini in it.

Today's Breakfast- Spinach in Eggs

This breakfast is really great at filling you up, I don't even need toast with it. Not having toast with eggs seems hard at first but you get used to it! And putting some spinach in with the eggs means you're getting greens in there as well.

Break Ups- Five Ways That Helped Me Break Out!

After breaking up with my partner two weeks ago, I've been going through definite periods of sadness and regret. But these five things have really helped me keep my mood positive.

Breakfast Today- Green Smoothie and Hot Lemon Water

I don't have time to eat breakfast in the morning so I usually create something quick that I can bring with me. I also always have a lemon at work so I can add bits to my hot water in the mornings. I then keep refilling it and sip on it all day! Today's creation is a green smoothie.

Lunch Today- Super Easy and Super Healthy Asian Salmon Salad

This is a really quick easy salad to make, and of course very healthy!

Breakfast at Perth City Farm

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals to go out for. Last weekend I visited Perth City Farm for breakfast with the Seventh Duchess (of the Seventh Duchess tea range). We were very impressed! Delicious food, good coffee and good service.

Bircher Muesli for Breakfast!

Breakfast this morning was bircher muesli. It's so easy to make and super healthy. See the recipe below:

Why I'm Loving Mint Tea Right Now

Lately I've taken to drinking a cup of fresh mint tea before bed. It is so easy to make and is such a soothing drink. 

My Favourite Coffee Spots in Perth

I love coffee. I have to say, I am pretty much addicted.

Green Minestrone Soup and Jamie's Kitchen- Perth!

A couple of days ago I made a green minestrone soup for dinner as this is a great way to put heaps of green vegetables in one dish. I had a massive bunch of curly kale I needed to use up, as I went to the Subiaco Station St markets last weekend (so cheap and such a big range!) and bought a bunch that was bigger than my head! 

5 Things I'm Loving at the Moment Including Raw Cheesecake!

I made this raw lime and mixed berry cheesecake last week for a vegan themed dinner party. It was really easy to make and so delicious. Sugar free and gluten free! You could eat it for breakfast, it's that healthy! Will post the recipe soon...

My Garden At The Moment

I live in rented house so I do not want to plant anything in garden beds as then I'd have to leave them behind if I move! All my plants are in pots so I can take everything with me. The photo below is a brussell sprout seedling, surrounded by tiny parsley seedlings that have all come up after my flat-leaf parsley went to seed and I pulled it out. Hopefully the sprout hurries up otherwise it will be overtaken!

What I Did This Morning..

This morning I had my usual cup of hot water with lemon, followed by a smoothie. At the moment I'm loving raw cacao smoothies! This one contained- 

Bali: Vanilla and Hibiscus Cordial

      

I have just been to Bali and had the most amazing home made cordial in a tiny cafe in Seminyak.

Today's lunch/ lunch when you've been too lazy to bring it from home

This morning I was running too late to make my lunch, having just taken Chico for a walk to the oval. We completed the little agility course that is permanently set up for dogs. He is getting better at it but still needs lots of encouragement and gets very distracted by other dogs walking past.

Healthy food and a brown kelpie

Last night I had a steak, as I was really in need of iron. I heated up some coconut oil and added lots of lemongrass (from my garden!) and crushed garlic,
