Fats 101: who else out there is cofuzzled???
Virtually all of us have grown up in the low-fat era. We’ve been told to avoid eggs, swap butter for margarine, cut all the fat off our meat and steam/grill/poach everything. Our dairy should be “low-fat” after the age of 5, and the “rule of thumb” is to buy the “lite” versions of everything; ice-cream, mayonnaise, coconut milk, you name it. Times are thankfully a changing, however for many members of the general public (and this might even include your lovely self), the low-fat dogma is still heavily and deeply ingrained in their psyche and old habits/thought-patterns die-hard.

Sneaky Swaps
As you may have read in my ‘transitioning to whole foods’ posts, it was a slow and steady transition from standard western diet to one filled with nutrient-dense whole foods.
Did you know that sometimes our food cravings are a direct result of our gut bacteria situation?
Sneaky Work-outs
Two and a bit years ago I wrote this post about bringing the motivation and fun back to exercise. This was when I first started blogging and I sure could rave on (to the point where just reading the damn post was a work-out for the optic nerves!!!).

Broccoli Coconut Rice
No rave from me today, just one of my favourite savoury dishes of late, that ticks all the boxes, no matter what you’re dietary requirements, food philosophies or health preferences.
Smashing Sardine Salad
Another “throw-it-together” meal (like yesterday’s salmon recipe) that is super-duper simple and packs a flavour punch. As long as you’ve dedicated time to innovative meal prep earlier in the day or week, you can have this baby ready in mere minutes.
Throw-it-together Salmon Awesomeness!
Ages ago I wrote a post “serve me a suggestion”, where I shared some of my fave “throw-together-and-be-done-with-it” combos, however it was a very long post and some of the ideas are too yummy to get lost in the multitude of paragraphs. Since writing that post, I’ve also come up with new favourite go-tos that are quick, easy and absolutely, knock-your-damn-socks-off delicious.
