Kangaroo casserole

Not gonna lie - this recipe came about as a way of rescuing a failed attempt at Smokey BBQ Kangaroo. It's packed full of protein and iron, lovely summer vegetables and is made more filling by the simple addition of lentils.

Mild Vegetable & Lentil Curry

I came up with this recipe when I was preparing for a cyclone (I'm not even kidding!). I needed to come up with something that would use up all my vegetables in case the power went out.

Slow Cooked Smokey BBQ Kangaroo

If you are not from Australia, you may not know that Kangaroos are so plentiful in the wild these days that they are actually culled each year in order to control the population, which means we are then left with a rather large supply of Kangaroo meat

Bircher breakie bowl

This recipe is so easy and is best made the night before so that the oats have time to soften and the chia seeds can absorb the liquid to form a yummy smooth texture and bind the whole mix together.

Choc fudge oat brownie

I have been thinking lately about the fact that I always seem to be dieting, which just makes me feel depressed and deprived.. and suddenly I realised that I should probably just focus on eating healthy instead of counting calories. I've been needing some sort of healthy snack to get me through the afternoons.

Quinoa porridge with Chia & LSA

As someone who is gluten intolerant, but an avid lover of comfort food, quinoa porridge has been my absolute saviour. Now, the word 'Superfood' gets thrown around as much these days as the word 'influential' gets thrown around in the music industry. But seriously, this food really is super! It's protein rich and contains all nine essential amino acids, it's high in fibre (contains almost twice as much as other high-fibre foods), and also contains iron, magnesium and other healthy stuff. It's a no-brainer, really..

Chunky Minestrone Soup

This is an old favourite of mine that I always come back to, especially when the weather cools down. It pretty much cooks itself, it's that easy. It's handy to get rid of all the left over vegies at the end of their use by date in your fridge. When I make minestrone I just chuck in what I have at the time - you don't have to use these exact vegies but the below is the combo I think gives the best flavour.

Turkey Shepherd's Pie with Sweet Potato Crust

Turkey is a great alternative to beef mince because it is ultra lean (i.e less fat) and high in protein. Plus, it's usually pretty cheap to buy! This is a fantastic recipe to make ahead of time as the flavours just keep getting better. Make mini versions like the one pictured or you can also make one big pie and cut it up into portions before freezing. A great comfort dish without the calories!

Low Sugar Blueberry, Chia Seed & Cinammon muffins

There's not much to say really, except that these are the first low sugar muffins I've ever made that I actually found edible! The cinnamon gives them a really well-rounded flavour and brings out the sweetness in the berries.
