25.01.2022 Wish you could smell these! Fresh cinnamon & fruit bread buns baking smell amazing, worth the effort. Made a batch of Laucke Spelt bread flour and yeast, with 2 eggs, grated ginger, milk and the soaked fruit plus tea & spice liquid and olive oil . Aussie dried fruit( raisins, sultanas,currants) tea-soaked, with chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla. So tasty! #healthwatchnutrition #lockdownlardermelbourne
24.01.2022 Gorgeous colour in these Crimson Pearl potatoes(Spud Sisters ) and pumpkin! Immune-supportive and health-protective veg with our dinner, roasted some the night before, added to more tasty photochemical rich veg options. Served with marinated protein( tenderises & aiding digestion but may protect against carcinogens forming during cooking- rosemary, lemon juice and zest, oregano, garlic tops, EVOO) so simple but super tasty! Give them a go! @healthwatchnutrition.by.pen
23.01.2022 Yum! We are treating ourselves to these local products( supporting a local mother-daughter small business) ! A tasty alternative breakfast or snack option, organic, nourishing and free of nasties! Thanks The Smoothie Bombs the order arrived today!
23.01.2022 Now ThIS broad beans & leafy veg side dish was super tasty and so nourishing! Thanks @Heike for the recipe idea! Fresh broad beans, leafy greens, garlic, parsley & thyme, pepper and salt, cooked in coconut milk! Pulled up a couple of beetroots to make some relish so used the leaves for dinner with purple cabbage and the rest! Yum! A rainbow on the plate!
23.01.2022 MMmm, some days you just need chocolate, so we made these for a healthier cacao-fix, nourishing brownies! This recipes is protein-packed, nutrient-dense and sweetened with medjool dates. Choc Chia Almond Brownies, recipe in my story. #healthwatchnutrition #brownies

22.01.2022 Flinders Enjoying a couple of days down the peninsula after a long lockdown! So beautiful #healthwatchnutrition
22.01.2022 Nothing like exercise(1hr!...) to clear away the frustrations of the day. Found out I can run with a mask on. Hoping you had a better day today, stay strong, keep in touch #lockdown
17.01.2022 Never disappoints, always lifts the spirits, calm water and less wind today, love those colours. Same structure but different angle,sort of symbolises a changed perspective for the groundhog day we keep reliving. Making the most of lockdown on the better days, and hibernating on low and ‘rainy days’. Take care all! #healthwatchnutrition #perspective #lockdown #groundhogday
17.01.2022 I learnt how to boil an egg from Siri! Didn’t know I’d been doing it all wrong! haha Once the water is boiling turn off the heat, add the eggs, pop the lid on and wait 10 minutes(for a soft yolk). My late lunch of seasonal asparagus, pan tossed with extra virgin olive oil, turn off the heat then add a spoon of miso, toss to coat. Served with a grind of pepper - simple and delicious! ... Thanks the broth sisters for the ‘Tastebud Tantalising Tuesday Treat’ inspiration#healthwatchnutrition #thebrothsisters See more
16.01.2022 ‘Fish and chips’ nutritionist-style Not the best photography but easy , cheap & delicious! Aldi salmon (on special) with with roast cauliflower and sweet potato( family had purple skin spud wedges also), grilled asparagus and salad with a good sprinkling of dill , grind of black pepper, EVOO and lemon juice( also added a dollop of homemade tartare for a treat!). Roasted the veg while on a beach walk, quick salad cook the fish - so tasty! Done! #healthwatchnutrition
16.01.2022 Beautiful blooming Bottle Brush! Brewed up a tea from the leaves and blossoms ( Callistemon viminalis ) after reading it may be an Indigenous recipe for a stimulating energy drink(flowers only also an option)! The antioxidants thats give the flowers their colour and their sweet nectar combined with the eucalyptus- like leaf is a unique flavoured drink(iced may be nice option). Apparently there may be chemical compounds beneficial for cognitive health also. Nice to try for a change anyway, I took on the challenge!

13.01.2022 Here’s something cheerful to find during #lockdown! How cute is the heirloom watermelon radish colouring, from our veggie garden( note don’t taste like watermelon) ! Looking forward to harvesting more and trying them different ways( pickled, salads, roast and fried). I’ve kept the younger leaves to wilt like spinach also). These heirloom seeds were purchased from #theseedcollection #watermelonradish #homegrown #healthwatchnutrition
13.01.2022 Okay our last lockdown baking Carrot cake oat & calendula muffins with cream cheese icing. Inspired by @jo_armes Made with 150g rolled oats whizzed to flour, 2/3 cup coconut sugar, 1/2tsp nutmeg & cinnamon, ... 2/3 cup EV olive oil, 2 eggs, 2 heaped cups (2 large carrots) grated AND i added petals of 5 of our calendula flowers I dehydrated 1/2 filling buttered muffin tins then bake 180C for about 18 minutes, edges start to crisp and tops bounce back if pressed gently. Icing from 250g philly, 2 spoons butter, splash of vanilla extract and dash of real maple syrup to sweeten slightly, whip up and pipe on or spread a dollop on with a knife. Enjoy! #healthwatchnutrition #carrotcake See more
12.01.2022 Made a delicious drink today - an infusion of calendula flowers, fresh ginger, lemon peel and juice with fresh mint(thanks @healthfoodlover for the idea of calendula with lemon balm & ginger). I improvised with the mint and lemon combo and it worked! Perfect for a Made by Fressko infusion. Yum, hydrating and delicious - with the kick of ginger and zesty lemon, mild mint and soothing/healing colourful calendula to lift the spirits. #homegrown #infusion #calendula #madebyfressko #healthyhydration #healthwatchnutrition
10.01.2022 Dehydrated another batch of Calendula flowers. What amazing colour, ready to make tea. First batch in hemp oil is infusing nicely for a body oil.
10.01.2022 Inspired by this week’s SVI Food Matters webinar, here’s our rainbow boost of veggies in our bolognaise tonight. Karen Inge also reminded us to mention cooking tomatoes helps release the protective phytonutrient lycopene (potentially beneficial for cardiovascular health and reducing risk of prostate cancer). Enjoying them with olive oil enhances the absorption. #eatarainbow #eatmoreveggies #homemade #healthier #healthwatchnutrition
10.01.2022 Yum! Nutrient-rich Bread! Proofing and baking the loaf in this works well! It certainly expands to a family-sized loaf lol (@lauckeflour German grain mix plus spelt flour, added in chia seeds, EV olive oil and ‘veggie water’ (kept from steaming veggies).#healthwatchnutrition #bread #homebaking #lockdown
10.01.2022 Lemons, lemons, lemons! Besides adding lemon to hot drinks, squeezing on protein to assist digestion, in dressings and marinades, today I made a lemon slice! Adapting a recipe by added almond meal and desiccated coconut to the biscuit base mix(to wholemeal flour, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil/ghee). Top layer was lemon juice & zest, eggs, pot-set yoghurt, maple syrup and spoon of flour. Tasting got the thumbs up, will firm up more in fridge more like cheesecake also. Result was a thin top layer and thick but light base , will adapt for another version soon! #healthwatchnutrition #lemons #lifegivesyoulemons #baking #makeyourown @ Healthwatch Nutrition
09.01.2022 ‘Banana Coconut Bread’, more like bread less like cake, tasty toasted for breakfast with a cuppa. High in fibre, good mix to support gut health and satisfying protein content (including fermented nutritious buttermilk)AND used up some old fruit from the drawer . I made this with spelt flour, a few spoons of green banana flour(not sweet, no banana taste btw, excellent for prebiotic resistant starch), coconut flakes whizzed up to fine/desiccated, 3 small ripe bananas( we...re frozen then fridge died ,so we got a new fridge and banana bread ), I swapped in homemade (local Granny Smith apples from Archies Creek) apple sauce instead of 300g sugar, Aldi buttermilk( swapped in yo use up, also I had no coconut milk), eggs, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Not too sweet but I liked it like that! ( got sweeter option you could use coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup for the apple sauce or bigger bananas ior use sweet apples but tasty! #healthwatchnutrition See more
09.01.2022 Finally made this spread for toast, so tasty! See next pic for ingredients - toasted local Otway walnuts, mushrooms, onion, garlic, fresh-picked rosemary, thyme and parsley, EVOO(extra virgin olive oil), plus a delicious tablespoon of the broth sisters Brain Superfood mushroom stock. Recipe posted tomorrow. #healthwatchnutrition
07.01.2022 Excited to pull up our first beetroot! Look at that nutrient-rich colour! Excellent for cardiovascular health! We will enjoy the beet and leaves! Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two carotenoid phytonutrients found in beet greens more than beetroot! One cup of raw beet greens provides about 275 mcg of lutein. Note: Jasper was unimpressed...#healthwatchnutrition #beetroot #homegrown #betaine #quercetin #phytosterols, #betalains #carotenoids
07.01.2022 Yesterday I made a smoothie trial for a Zoom demo, here it is! A tasty mix of local berries, banana, chia soaked in coconut water, fresh-picked leafy greens and ice. Yummy but needed something... adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then remembered the tangy sourness from @melbournebushfood Davidson Plum powder, ideal to sprinkle in to balance the sweet while adding vitamin C, antioxidants, folate and minerals. #healthwatchnutrition #smoothie #recipe #bushfoods #davidsonplum #liquidnutrition #nutritionist #healthyrecipes
06.01.2022 Chillin’ in the sunshine with my pal, mindfulness moment, break from researching and iPad work screentime. #healthwatchnutrition
