This Breakfast Crunch is a great mix to have on hand for breakfast or an afternoon snack. I love these jars, they are the coconut oil jars, I have a selection of them now in my pantry. They are currently mostly empty, so need to come up with great things to prepare and pop into them. This is one of those things. Remember it is all about being prepared. Read More→
This breakfast is for those who love porridge but are having problems with digestion of oats, or for those who just want to try something new. Packed full of protein and because quinoa is a seed, this breakfast is great for those wanting to avoid gluten and grains. Soaking over night makes the quinoa easily digestable and less likely to cause any digestive problems. Also makes absorption of minerals and vitamins easier. I then cooked it to make it more digestible. Bircher muesli doesn’t need to be cooked, so you can decide if you want to go this extra step or not.
Getting sick of eggs? Why not try this breakfast and give the eggs a break for a while. Just when you realised how good you felt after eating eggs for breakfast, you will be surprised at how good you feel after having this for breakfast. This is a breakfast for champions! Red meat is a fantastic way to start your day if you are brave enough. Add to that the nutrients from liver and garlic and you are going to be unstoppable! Read More→
Fermented vegetables are not only good for you because they contain beneficial bacteria for good digestion, they are also a fantastic way to make your vegetables go further and last longer.
Right now cabbage is really cheap and the vege garden is overflowing with them, so this means it’s time to do something about it. I had never made sauerkraut before, but got into it last year, and try to have some each day. I find supermarket bought sauerkraut pretty yuk, so tried my hand at making my own.
I was incredibly surprised at how simple it is!
Check out my post I did on bone broths and why they are so good for you. This is a very simple recipe, if you don’t have vinegar don’t panic, this just helps soften the bones and helps to pull out the minerals into the broth. I got these bones from Countdown supermarket, it was $3.50 for a kg I think. There was still a lot of meat left on the bones, so we got a few meals out of the meat and then the broth lasts a long time. You can freeze it if you wish.
I have some every day, great in the afternoon before starting to cook dinner. I freeze it in cup sizes so I can just pull some out whenever. If there is none at the supermarket, just ask the butcher for some either at the deli or your local butcher. Read More→
This bought back memories of snacking on muesli. Just reaching into the box and chewing on all the crunchy bits as a kid. Leaving all the boring bits behind. There are no boring bits in this recipe. Grain Free Muesli is super breakfast or snack. Give it a whirl and put your own spin on the ingredients. You will be amazed by how good it is.
Sometimes we need something super easy to pack up and take away with us. These snack bars are convenient and easy to eat. I have been having scroggin for snacks recently but find I leave a trail behind me of crumbs whenever I do eat it, so thought it was time to make this scroggin into a convenient crumb-free bar.

This is a recipe that you can have a play around with different ingredients. You can add more dates for more stickiness, or more butter for more ‘glue’. I found this amount worked well, but do experiment and make your own version.
Another seafood feast while in Golden Bay. Scallops are such a delicacy, I find the best way to cook is as simple as possible. Hence the title Simple Scallops
