Skin Foods

In this post, we talked rituals that nourish the skin from the outside in. Now we flip the bird. Not literally – keep those middle fingers in check. Let’s go from the outside in to the inside out.

Here’s a budget-friendly truth bomb; as fun as face masks, naked backyard body scrubs and pissing your cat off by taking the time to cleanse your face before you feed them brekkie can be, the simplest way to foster glowing skin is to up the antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids in the diet.

Totes Amaze-Bowl!

At this time of year, it can be tempting to over-complicate things. This Amaze-bowl is super quick, easy and nourishing. A satisfying, yet light combo of “on-hand” ingredients.

I made these babies last night for a pre-Christmas drinks and dinner catch up that we had with a close  family friend. She loved it – especially the macadamia butter element!

Japanese Brown Rice Salad

This super-simple salad is a flavour-bomb and a refreshing accompaniment to a sustainably-sourced protein; think homemade organic chicken skewers or crispy-skinned sardines. It also works as a beautiful light meal – maybe add some extra nuts/seeds, avocado and some of your fave roast veggies for bulk and extra satisfaction.

I love having coconut aminos and coconut vinegar on hand.

Do excuse my weak attempt at humour in the title. Anyhoo.

GAPS stage 3

2 Comments

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

The Stage I’ve been waiting for. This is the story of a girl reunited with her beloved avocado.

Stage 3 is where life gets a whole lot easier. One word; avocado.

  • It adds something raw back into the mix
  • It can accompany meat
  • It can accompany roasted pumpkin
  • It can be eaten with sauerkraut – also allowed on stage 3. Before this you are only allowed the juice (remind me again why I’m doing this?)
  • It can be eaten by itself, with nothing else added (yes, really)
  • You can mix the humble avo with ground cinnamon & make pudding!

Serve Me A Suggestion

I love food (if that isn’t obvious already)!

I also love spending time in the kitchen experimenting or simply whipping up classic favourites.

However … there are times when I’m just not in the mood to cook (I can be very impatient when I’m hungry) and just want something fast and delicious.

That is where I love serving suggestions. Not in the sense of processed packaged pseudo-foods or microwave dinners, but rather where you just combine a few, fresh, tasty ingredients to create the most amazing flavour combinations with impressive nutritional profiles.

Let me share with you some of the ‘serving suggestions’ that I have been loving lately.
