24.01.2022 Young, fresh garlic! Small bulbs of young garlic are a welcome arrival in Spring. The flavour is most often subtle and grassy. The stems (also known as scapes) are delicious chopped and added to mushrooms, omelettes or stirfrys. Using a vegetable from ‘root to tip’ is the ultimate way to honour the resources harnessed in growing the plant & of course, reduce food waste. Where to find such beauties?... Join me in my next Spring Shopping Tour at our local farmers market @thebeachesmarket on FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER - NEW DATE. Details in my bio link or simply send me a message! #mrsnutritiousavalon #shoppingtour #thebeachesmarket #garlic #eatseasonally #roottotip #knowyourfarmer #nameyoyrfarmer #knowyoursource #springfood #avalon #northernbeachesfood #farmersmarkets

20.01.2022 Dip into Spring A change of season invites us to shed a little of what’s past (winter foods) & slowly embrace the emerging (spring shoots & leaves). A perfect late breakfast this morning after foraging at @thebeachesmarket ...... spring asparagus, wonky & with stems still dusted in soil from Lenka’s stall, paired with very local pastured eggs, salt & cracked pepper. Simple perfection! These asparagus spears were special in so many ways:... wonky = homegrown proof the grower was there in person to chat with = social connection. the soil dusting =valuable healthy microbes from healthy soil for gut health eating seasonally = diversity of plant foods for a robust microbiome and of course.... DELICIOUS FLAVOUR! Encourage yourself to venture outside your comfort zone of the supermarket. Explore & get in touch with nature’s bounty by visiting the farmers market. Unsure, tentative, nervous? Let me show you the way in one of my market shopping yours..... next one is Friday 25 September #mrsnutritiousavalon #farmersmarket #knowyoursourcs #nameyourfarmee #eatseasonally #shoplocal #localfood #realfood #thebeachesmarket #asparagus #soilhealth #diversity #guthealth #springcleanse2020

19.01.2022 BEAUTIFUL BROCCOLI As a true food nerd I just love finding small stems of broccoli like this bunch, abundant with leaves & fine stems. Broccoli leaves are every bit as nutritious as the floret and are delicious lightly steamed or sautéed. The fine stems are also delicious finely sliced on the diagonal & added to the steamer, or added to Spring broths & soups. Always add a healthy fat to your broccoli, such as grass fed butter, ghee or olive oil to allow your body to absorb... the fat soluble vitamins, D, A, K & E. Broccoli is a vegetable that continues to respire (breathe) at a very fast rate after its harvested, with its nutrient density declining as it ages. Therefore, look out for broccoli that is stored on ice or recently refrigerated, to keep it super fresh & be sure to use it within a couple of days of purchase! If you love finding out interesting facts about the foods that nourish us, join me in my next Market Shopping Tour, early on Friday 18 September.

15.01.2022 Getting ready for the week ahead.... a couple of hours in the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon can ensure that your fridge is full of nutrient dense options for breakfasts, snacks & lunches. These juicy Swiss brown mushrooms @marginsmushrooms make wonderful vessels for pesto, some diced red capsicum & a little diced @lingalongafarmwingham bacon. Simply roasted in a 180oC oven for 30 mins with a little water or chicken stock in the base of the baking dish. Gently reheated, as ...needed, in a small pan & teamed with some sourdough toast & avocado, you have a breakfast of campions! Mushrooms are a wonderful immune boosting food. Teamed with the zinc rich pumpkin seeds blitzed into the pesto & the vitamin c rich capsicum, this simple recipe ticks all the boxes of supporting immune health. If you’d like some personalised help in your own kitchen for simple ways to make nutrient dense food doable for your family, ask me about my personalised cooking coaching. #mrsnutritiousavalon #wholefood #nourish #healthyfamilies #foodcoach #avalon #simplerecipe #nutrientdense #foodasmedicine #immuneboostingfoods #healthyteens #cookinceeattwice #lingalongafarm #maginsmushrooms #pasturedpork #shoplocal

12.01.2022 How to enjoy a breakfast rich in protein to keep you satiated, without eggs? While eggs + veg are one of the best breakfast options, sometimes we feel like something cool & light. Fruit & yoghurt alone, will have you looking for more to eat within a couple of hours. Adding the following PROTEIN RICH elements to your bowl will fuel you until lunchtime... 1. chia seeds soaked in your favourite milk with a little vanilla & cinnamon ... 2. A dollop of nut butter..... I’m loving pure Australian peanut butter @scoopwholefoods 3. A generous sprinkle of hemp seeds Enjoy! #mrsnutritiousavalon #healthybreakfast #proteinrichbreakfast #lowsugar #hempseeds #chia #peanutbutter #scoopwholefoods #avalon #familyfood #easyrecipe #springbreakfast

08.01.2022 WHOLESOME SNACKS Those of you who have teenagers in Yr 12 will know that it’s an intense time just now.. Trial HSC is done, major works are due and it’s crunch time leading up to their final exams. Sometimes finding opportunity for conversations with our young people is hard. Food is a wonderful bridge..... homemade nourishment is a wonderful way to show your love & to steady them for a moment to share a word. Preparing food from scratch also means you can fuel their brain...s & bodies for success, using healthy fats & nutrient dense ingredients. This afternoon I baked an aromatic batch of savoury scones based on the wonderful Spelt & Oat Scone recipe from the Ministry of Scones @Jude wholefood. Fresh rosemary replaced basil, parmesan replaces cheddar & yoghurt replaced buttermilk. You’ll find the recipe & video on Jude’s Instagram @judewholefood. They’ll be delicious with a generous smear of @pepesaya cultured butter! Hopefully, it’s an ‘eat & chat’ afternoon in your home too... #mrsnutritiousavalon #healthysnack #wholefoodbaking #healthyteens #avalon #nourish #teenagers #communication #healthyfamilies #spelt #lowgluten #judeblereau #ministryofscones #pepesaya

01.01.2022 HEALTHY SWAPS Making raspberry coconut slice this afternoon. There a few healthy swaps that are easy to make when baking to increase the nutrient density of your family’s food. SWAP OUT ... traditional high sugar jam SWAP IN 1 1/2 cup frozen organic berries + 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup + 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds. Stir frozen berries and maple over medium heat until defrosted. Crush berries with the back of the spoon. Stir through chia seeds and leave to cool slightly before incorporating into your baking. Make double and stir through plain yoghurt to make a delicious low-sugar berry yoghurt or dollop the berry ‘jam’ onto your porridge/muesli/pancakes. Eating well isn’t about deprivation! #mrsnutritiousavalon #healthyswaps #healthybaking #lowsugar #wholefoodbaking #healthyfamilies #avalon #nourish #organicberries
