21.01.2022 Dinner Inspiration Post!! This Cauliflower and Pumpkin Dal from dinner earlier in the week. It is AMAZING - by far one of my favourite meals at the moment. If you're grain, legume and dairy free, you DON'T have to miss out on this either!!... This idea of this recipe was inspired from a recipe in Pete Evans the Complete Keto cookbook, I adjusted some of the vegetables and spices to fit in with our family. I added some homemade meatballs that were cooked on the BBQ, the rest of the family LOVE having meat with our meals. I’d you’d like my take on this let me know and I’ll send it to you. #dinner #meal #leftovers #keto #paleo #grainfree #dairyfree #curry #eatherainbow #homemade #organic #vegan #vegetarian #food #healthyfood #food #cleaneating #wholefoods #organic #nutrition #spices #eatwellbewell #nourish
21.01.2022 ***NEW RECIPE POST*** Our favourite new side to have with our meals is a whole roasted cauliflower - yuck I can hear you saying - but it really isn’t!!! It packs a great punch in flavour and a great way to up your vegetable intake, with minimal preparation. Cauliflower contains a good amount of fibre, large amount of vitamin c along with more nutrients that many people need to consume more of including vitamin K, B6, folate, potassium, manganese and magnesium. Cauliflower al...so contain unique antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and fight against disease. Cauliflower is used widely as as a low-carb option to grains and can be eaten raw, steamed or roasted.

20.01.2022 This is one of the easiest lunches to make. Home roasted chicken salad. You’ll be left with roasted chicken for days so those lunchboxes and easy dinners will be sorted! Cover off on all the food groups with an easy salad, fermented guacamole and a few organic corn chips! Have you ever tried roasting a chook? It really is one of simplest things to make. The trick is to add plenty of your favourite herbs and spices on top of the skin and to butterfly the chicken before pu...tting it in the oven - delicious and really Cuts the cooking time! Tip: do two chickens at a time if your catering for a family - you can always freeze it in portion sizes if you don’t think you’ll get through it all! #meal #dinner #lunch #organic #familymeals #kidapproved #eattherainbow #foodismedicine #recipe #bunfree #food #foodie #eat #eats #getinmybelly #bethechange #glutenfree #dairyfree #additivefree #healthychoices #healthy #eatwell #eatclean #cleaneating #homemade #love #farmersmarket #foodprep #deliciousfood
17.01.2022 Hi there, I’m Sharon. I thought it was about time that I introduced myself and told you a little bit about myself. I’m a wife and mum and to two kids. I am a qualified functional nutritionist and food coach. I’ve been on a journey of health and wellness for over 12 years, sharing my passion and knowledge for nutrition and wellbeing, as well as sharing easy to make recipes made from simple wholefoods that nourish our bodies and mind. This all came about for me when both o...f our children experienced health struggles. My son was born with over a dozen severe life-threatening allergies and we were extremely overwhelmed as to what we were going to be able to feed him, let alone nourish him. At the time, there was not a lot of information available and it was a huge challenge for us to overcome. My daughter suffers from severe anxiety and it was through observing the type of the foods she was eating (even the healthy ones!), that a direct link was able to be seen with her anxiety levels. We’ve lost count of all the different approaches and specialists we’ve attempted along the way to try to get to the root causes, rather than dealing with the symptoms! We have discovered that the type of food we consume, lifestyle we choose to live and the chemicals we allow around us impacts us far more than what we knew. I truly understand that when you decide, or if a need arises, for nutritional change to occur, from removing certain foods or food groups from your diet, or simply wanting to improve your current food choices for better health, that the first steps to new food and lifestyle choices can be extremely unnerving and isolating. I am here to show you that it does not have to be so scary and that there is help available See more
17.01.2022 Leftovers for lunch. I LOVE leftovers!!

16.01.2022 I was gifted these unsweetened cranberries at the farmers market on the weekend. They are AMAZING! I’d only ever had sweetened ones! They are more on the sour side - but delicious all the same. Cranberries are a great source of antioxidants and plant compounds - these are mainly found in the skin of the berries, so having cranberry juice won’t offer the same benefits. I love to eat them on their own, put in a salad, or added in when I make biscuits or an addition to plain cakes. #cranberry #berries #dried #driedfruit #eat #eats #getinmybelly #eatwell #eatwellbewell #bethechange #eattherainbow #nourish #nourishyourbody #organic #love #food #foodie #farmersmarket #delicious #cleaneats #eatclean #leadbyexample #snack#snacks #keto #paleo
14.01.2022 I think I may just have a little issue with buckwheat pancakes - that being they are soooo good! The best thing about these is everyone in our family is able to eat and enjoy them!

13.01.2022 With this cold whether we are having - is perfect for some warming nourishing soup!!

11.01.2022 Such a beautiful day for a walk.... after the rain we had here yesterday everything was so clean and clear. Getting out doing some kind of aerobic exercise outdoors increases your serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical messenger that promotes feelings of happiness, promoting good sleep as well as good digestion along with with other important functions. #walk #love #breathe #happyplace #spring #bushwalk#forest #nature #perfection #home #backyard #soul #sunshinecoast #foodformysoul #happyplace #graditude #happysoul #grounding #paradise #space #beautiful #breathtaking #view #love #health #happiness #benefits #healthylifestyle #healthylife #lookafteryourself
10.01.2022 This is one of my kids favourite lunchbox snacks - my take on the LCM bar - date rice puff slice. It’s quick and easy to make and there is no baking involved!!

10.01.2022 ***NEW RECIPE POST*** Yeast & Gluten Free Bread So much to love about this rustic homemade bread. It cooks up crispy of the outside and extra soft on the inside! This bread is great for a sandwich as well as being toasted. It is perfect in our house being free from gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts. My son can’t always tolerate yeast, so I’ve been trying to come up with a recipe that would suit. ... It contains only whole food ingredients including psyllium husk (a fibre) that works great for binding in gluten free cooking. Psyllium has plenty of health benefits including aiding in digestive and heart health and maintaining balance of insulin and blood sugar. The bread also contains buckwheat which gives it a beautiful nutty flavour.

09.01.2022 ***NEW RECIPE POST*** Savoury Meat Muffins. Need something different from sandwiches for your lunchboxes? These muffins might just be what your looking for. I make sandwich free lunchboxes for our family and know the importance of packing protein to make them feel full to get them through the rest of day. Protein is also shown to improve bone density and strength and is a great source of iron. ... These muffins take only 10 minutes to put together. They are a great alternative for anyone eating a low-carb, paleo or gaps diet. Try adding in your favourite herbs and spices!! https://ahealthyspoonful.com/savoury-meat-muffins #meal #dinner #lunch #organic #familymeals #kidapproved #eattherainbow #foodismedicine #familyfavorite #recipes #food #foodie #eat #eats #getinmybelly #bethechange #glutenfree #dairyfree #additivefree #healthychoices #healthy #eatwell #eatclean #cleaneating #homemade #love #farmersmarket #gaps #paleo #delicious
08.01.2022 Have you ever looked for a dairy-free butter for your toast or favourite scones?? What is out there to purchase is horrible as far as what's in the ingredients, full of refined vegetable oils. This is where the oils are extracted by chemical solvents and/or heated which can cause chronic inflammation amongst other health issues. These 'butters' also contain emulsifiers, colours, preservatives and flavours - all of which have no benefit to your health. Make your own is my sim...ple solution. With only 3 simple healthy foods and fats. It just needs to be popped into the fridge for an hour to set. Check out this recipe to make your own in under a minute and know exactly what it is you or your family are consuming... https://ahealthyspoonful.com/homemade-vegan-butter/ #nourish #guthealth #nutrition #organic #realfood #eatwellbewell #cleaneating #goodness #eats #paleo #food #healthy #recipe #keto #glutenfree #dairyfree #gaps #homemade #foodie #vegetarian #cleaneats #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #recipes #delicious #eat #cleanfood #eatingclean
08.01.2022 It’s assessment week for my girl at school. I know these were appreciated as a snack for when she got home. Berry Sundae and chia pudding - her choice her brother got the other The berry sundae has layer of blackberries, frozen bananas whipped up with blueberries and raspberries topped with cacao nibs and frozen raspberries. The chia pudding has chopped bananas on the bottom with coconut yoghurt, raspberries and cacao nibs. Both my kids love these!

03.01.2022 *** NEW RECIPE POST*** Chocolate Gummies I’ve mentioned before the important benefits of adding gelatin to your diet - strengthens your gut wall lining as well as aiding in joint and bone health just to name a couple.

02.01.2022 Plenty of fermenting going on here this week. This is shredded cabbage and a couple of grated carrots to make up some sauerkraut. I sprinkle it with salt and let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow some of the juices to start coming out, I find it makes it much easier to massage together. Sauerkraut is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Its probiotics also help your body absorb these nutrients more easily, which is what makes sauerkraut more nutritious than raw cabbage.... But is the store bought pre-made sauerkraut just as good? Generally speaking no. There are a few things to keep an eye out on if you are looking for one that may deliver the benefits. * Check the ingredient list. It should only contain cabbage and salt (or possible some other vegetables). If there is anything else added - think salt, preservatives, flavours or colours, it's best to give it a big swerve. * The next thing to watch out for is if it has been pasteurized, which will help with the shelf-life. Off-the-shelf sauerkraut is typically pasteurized, a process that kills the beneficial probiotics. Refrigerated varieties are less likely to be, but check the label to be sure. But overall making your own will contain many more beneficial bacteria. Here is the link to the recipe if you'd like to give it a go.. https://ahealthyspoonful.com/sauerkraut/ #fermentedfoods #fermented #guthealth #wholefoods #bacteria #sauerkraut #nourish #nutrition #probiotics #realfood #organic #cleaneating #eatwellbewell
01.01.2022 Make meals easy for yourself - prepare and cook for more than one meal at a time! These meatballs will do for a dinner and three or four lunches! I substituted the pork for lamb in this recipe and didn’t add in the grated zucchini as we had slow cooked veggies already to go with them. They are great cops in the lunchbox too with salad sticks, spicy fermented dip and organic rice crackers. It’s important to source good quality grass-fed meat - that is just real meat withou...t anything else added. The meatballs only take about 15 minutes to roll together and my husband doesn’t like me using the BBQ so my job is done!! https://ahealthyspoonful.com/mini-pork-patties/ . https://ahealthyspoonful.com/spicy-fermented-dipping-sauce/ #meal #meatballs #lamb #beef #cleaneats #eat #eats #cleaneating #eatclean #bethechange #getinmybelly #mint #herbs #simplefood #paleo #gaps #keto #weeknightmeal #mealprep #freezermeal #bbq #organic #dinner #lunchbox #lunch #homemade #protein #health #checktheingredients See more
01.01.2022 It’s been a while since we’ve made up some buckwheat pancakes! Smothered in berries and coconut yoghurt or savory with mince and avocado such a fun meal. With only 4 ingredients it’s easy to make the batter in a matter of minutes. Dispute the name, buckwheat doesn’t contain any gluten and is actually a seed. It is a great substitute to be used for gluten free cooking. You can soak the buckwheat groats to make them easier to digest, but you don’t have to if you’re short on ...time. https://ahealthyspoonful.com/buckwheat-pancakes #fresh #snack #homemade #yummy #glutenfree #dairyfree #eggfree #allergenfriendly #nutfree #food #foodie #eat #eats #makeyourown #bethechange #pancakes #cooking #getinmybelly #blogger #recipe #health #foodinspiration #delicious #lovecooking #wholefoods #realfood #foodismedicine #breakfast #healthyfood #healthy
