The Ultimate Endurance Athlete Smoothie
My husband and I have been on a mammoth training exercise for 4 months now in preparation for Australia’s toughest endurance event – The Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge. We’ve been madly researching extraordinarily healthy ways to get oodles of carbs, protein and energy into us for the 96 km-in-under-39-hours walk (or run for the truly [...]
Vegan Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup
It was 5 degrees at my place the other day! 5 degrees in May!!! Nothing makes a soup more tasty than cool weather, a cosy fire and warm hugs. That last bit is ESSENTIAL! Do not make or eat this soup without hugging a minimum of one other person! Even yourself! Ingredients Pumpkin – however [...]
Easy Dairy-Free Pesto
I love this recipe – it takes about 5 minutes and you’ve got a perfect dip, spread, sauce or salad or pasta dressing. It tastes just like the real thing! You’d never know it didn’t have Parmesan in it (not that there’s anything wrong with Parmesan – I have a particular soft spot for smelly [...]
I’ll Have My Fruit & Vegies Without The Chemicals, thanks!
I’ve been eating organic fruit and veg for about 10 years now and I love it! The higher price to me is without question worth the added benefit of NOT being served poisonous stuff on my food. The taste too makes it impossible to go back to conventional F & V for those of us [...]
Raw Food For Thirty Days…
On our recent 30 Day Raw Food Challenge my husband and I lost weight, yelled at each other, felt vibrantly healthy, slept heaps, became depressed, watched our skin glow and effortlessly ate amazing food and much more. For some background info on what motivated us to do this, have a squiz at the Preamble. Below [...]
Raw For Thirty Days Preamable

No sugar, coffee, tea, processed carbohydrates, cheese and other dairy products, meat (we thought about some raw [...]
My Favourite Three Ingredient Salad
If you haven’t already picked up on this – I’m rather lazy. I don’t cook. I like things I can bung together in under 5 minutes. I like simple flavours full of freshness and natural seasoning. I like salad. I like tomatoes. I like olives. I really like onions (for some bizarre reason). Who says [...]
The MOST Incredible Chocolate Pie You’ve Ever Tasted!
It’s true, I swear! Utterly decadent, rich, creamy, but healthy all at the same time. This is not like a traditional pie that can be overpoweringly sweet or makes you feel heavy in the tummy after eating – this pie must be tried to be believed and will have folks begging for more! Filling 1 [...]

This 20 minute talk by Dan Buettner is an inspiration for those of us wanting life to be a continual celebration that gets better and better as we age not just a slow, steady unavoidable decline. From his travels and studies of the most long-lived communities on earth, he has clearly identified the most important [...]
Green Wraps
Talk about simple! These green wraps are a great substitute for traditional sandwiches. I once heard bread referred to as “bum glue” by a naturopath so if you’re wanting to reduce your carbohydrate intake, these are a brilliant, yummy and utterly healthy idea. Very satisfying too. Ingredients a few large leafy green pieces – collard [...]
