Coconut chai bliss balls – Love your liver!

February 25, 2018 by Kate Leave a Comment

chai spice and coconutty goodness

Everyone loves a good bliss ball, right? These delicious coconut chai bliss balls are as healthy as they are tasty (with no dates in sight). Slightly sweet and coconutty, with lovely chai spices throughout.

They are super easy to make, and you can choose whether to use almond meal (no blending!) or cashews, which are lower in natural food chemicals, amines, if you’re sensitive.

The spices help your liver to detox more efficiently, so this delicious bite can even be your ‘food as medicine’. You can even add maca powder, to help your body adjust it’s stress response and keep you calmer! …

Simple pumpkin soup from scratch (with bone broth)

June 7, 2016 by Kate 1 Comment

gluten free dairy free pumpkin soup
delicious warming soup with a dollop of pesto and sheep’s yoghurt

Pumpkin soup is such a hearty, warming dish that’s perfect for cold and rainy winter days. And it is so easy! Just chop up your pumpkin and cover with stock – simmer and it’s ready!

These days we hear all about the benefits of bone broth – it’s gut healing, and full of minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium, which are essential for our wellbeing. My homemade bone broth is quick and easy and uses up leftover bones from Sunday night’s roast chicken dinner. Win win.

This pumpkin soup with garlic and leek, and homemade chicken bone broth, is ideal for anyone with intolerances (as commercial stocks are really high in food chemicals salicylates, amines and glutamates).

add some leftover lentils, or from a BPA-free can, well rinsed

I’ve served it with my coriander pesto, and a dollop of sheep’s yoghurt (but coconut yoghurt would be delicious too). Oh and your bread of choice on the side, of course. I had homemade gluten free slathered in coconut oil (dairy free)! You can make this all on the same day, you just need a few hours, or for even more goodness in your bone broth, make it overnight and start the soup the next day.

Top 10 toxic chemicals in your everyday products! And how to avoid them.

June 3, 2016 by Kate Leave a Comment

Here are my top 10 everyday products that contain toxic chemicals for sensitive people, especially kids. They are around us everywhere, but with a little knowledge, many can be avoided or swapped for a better, cleaner alternative. Reducing your toxic load is better for the whole family’s health and better for the environment too.

Food journey hard on the family? Be flexible with food.

April 28, 2016 by Kate Leave a Comment

Food is about family, sharing and getting together - flexible

Food is about family, sharing and getting together

So, has anyone else got a bit too caught up in this food intolerance journey? Been super vigilant and strict with food, to the point of compulsion? I understand, there is so much to digest (pun intended) and so many foods that could be a culprit! But seriously, maybe it’s time not to take it too seriously. We all know shit can happen in life, kids can get sick and they can misbehave – for many reasons. So, it’s probably not the end of the world if we’re a little flexible and let them try something yummy as an experiment – and if it backfires miserably, and they have a really bad reaction, we just don’t do it again!

Allergy might kill you, but intolerance kills you slowly…

March 10, 2016 by Kate Leave a Comment

allergy, intolerance, young kid, heal your gut

Itchy skin can be a sign of allergy or intolerance

How are allergy and intolerance different?

Allergy and intolerance are different, but they’re also very similar. Both are caused by an immune reaction, but the difference is in the timing. Allergy is immediate and intolerance is delayed, making it harder to pinpoint the offending food. Allergic reactions release histamine, which is why they show up on skin-prick tests, while intolerances don’t necessarily. But the cause is similar – a food protein (allergy) or a food chemical (intolerance) and so are the symptoms – a rash, stomach complaints, breathing difficulties etc. However, allergy can be life-threatening, so I’m sure we all agree it cannot be ignored. Intolerance, on the other hand, may lead to life-long illness, so maybe it’s about time we paid it some more attention!
