Sometimes I crave something different for dinner. Yesterday was one of those days. When I have a friend over, I like to create a tasty meal to share. This recipe ticked both of those boxes for me. Although I have made apricot chicken before, my original recipe wasn’t satisfying. So, I searched online and found […]

It’s zucchini season again and they are in abundance. A few weeks ago, a friend gave me some of her home-grown zucchinis and a recipe for a zucchini cake. I set about adjusting the recipe to suit my diet and this was the result. The original recipe contained both SR and plain flour, an egg […]

This recipe is a take on my Walnut and Hazelnut Biscuits which are very popular amongst my friends. I have replaced the walnuts in my original recipe with pecans. Neither walnut or pecan paste is available locally, so I throw the nuts into my food processor and process them until they form a paste. This […]

It’s winter here in Australia, and it is the time of year we look for soup to warm our tummy! Chicken and corn soup is one of my favourites. I love the flavour of chicken and corn together. Last night I felt like a warm bowl of soup to share with a friend, chicken and […]

Broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables. I like its earthy flavour. This recipe is my take on a broccoli soup. It includes potato as a thickener, bacon to enhance the flavour, and MasseI salt-reduced chicken stock cubes. The stock cubes have a great taste, and they are vegan if you wish to leave the […]

I came across a recipe for Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies at eatingbirdfood.com. Normally I look past recipes made with peanuts as I am intolerant. But this […]

Recently, a friend offered me some rhubarb stalks from her garden. I took them gratefully and began searching for a suitable recipe to adapt for my diet. I came across one for Rhubarb Almond Flour Muffins at heartbeetkitchen.com. I have changed quite a few of the ingredients from the original recipe, including the sugar content. […]

Over the last few weeks my friends have given me lots of zucchinis. There is often an excess supply here in Australia at this time of year. So, I needed a new recipe to use them. While searching the internet I came across this recipe which I have adapted to suit my food intolerances: https://www.curatedlifestudio.com/zucchini-and-carrot-muffins/ […]

Healthy and nutritious food does not have to be tasteless and boring. I enjoy making healthy alternatives to my old favourites.  It is a relief to know that I can eat food which tastes delicious and is good for my health. Christmas food is traditionally rich, but not always healthy. As this time of year […]
