These Valentine Mini Heart Cheesecakes are sweet enough for a special occasion but also a healthier alternative to the processed sugar overload that can seriously derail your health and wellness goals during this time of year! They’re fairly easy to make (using a food processor otherwise it would be a serious slog). The filling is made with layers sweetened with fruit and small amount of maple …
Guest Post by Jo Nolan from Be Nourished*. Eating fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, is an incredibly healthy practice directly supplying your digestive tract with living cultures essential to breaking down food and assimilating nutrients.

A few months back I did a Facebook post on the subject of school lunch boxes which drew a large number of comments. I posted the lunchbox on the right as an example of what as what I have see as typical of many children’s lunch boxes these days. Now of course a lot of children have less highly processed packaged products in their lunch boxes but then on …
This Christmas tree made of fruit is a fantastic idea for a centre piece for the dinner table if you’re having people over for a party around Christmas time. Creating this tree can be easy and fun but you definitely need to prepare with the right ingredients and equipment beforehand to avoid frustrations and injury! You’ll need a large apple, a large …

This uses the same recipe as our Paleo Cheesecake but made into mini tartlets.
This is paleo banana bread is too yum! It’s “the best ever” according to Chef Dom. If bananas are very ripe it ends up more like a banana cake but if they are only just ripe it’s like a bread loaf. We prefer is the less sweet version but either way very tasty and easy. This paleo banana bread is perfect for school …
Looking for a Quick and Easy Lunchbox Idea for School? Try Pete Evan’s Paleo Proscuitto-Wrapped Frittata Muffins (with or without the Proscuitto). These ones are “adapted from” Pete’s recipe in Family Food as we were lacking Proscuitto and added in extra spinach as we have loads in our little garden. These ones taste great but no doubt even better with …
We’re enjoying some goodies from one of our favourite companies – Cathedral Cove Naturals. This morning we’re having its Raw Paleo Super Cereal and Coconut Yoghurt. This cereal is a nutritious mix of sunflower, sesame, pumpkin and chia seeds with raw brazil, macadamia, almond and cashew nuts and shredded coconut, goji berries and coconut nectar. “Super-delicious” according to Chef Dom! …
How’s your week going? If you’re looking at stainless steel lunch boxes here’s another to consider. It’s a LunchBots lunch box. We love this one as well as the Planetbox. They have different pros and cons. I’ll do a post on that as soon as I get a spare moment – which is pretty much never but will make some …
