25.01.2022 Working on improving the nutrition of the humble choc chip cookie. This one contains 90% dark chocolate, wholemeal spelt flour, and 1/4 less sugar (a combination of raw and coconut sugar) than the original recipe, and it’s still too sweet! The kids are loving these little experiments!

25.01.2022 Some delicious fast food was whipped up live on Facebook this morning, for the July VidaFit Overhaul.

24.01.2022 These reusable green food wraps have survived an entire year of school lunches, and still going strong. I’m impressed!

24.01.2022 The perfect recovery drink for an afternoon of Friday school sport- icy cold flavoured milk with no sugar added or artificial colours. It is so good to see products like this becoming available! (PS. From all reports, it was delicious)

24.01.2022 I have just noticed that my favourite beauty brand, Happy Skincare is having a big sale, so I thought I'd share with you all. I know that taking care of skin, with non-toxic ingredients is becoming more and more important to many of you, especially those with sensitive skin. Happy browsing :)

22.01.2022 Remember the nutty granola from yesterday? I pressed a little bit into some melted 85% dark chocolate, to make this satisfying treat

21.01.2022 One of the keys to great health is keeping food simple. This pulled pork has fed us for two main dinners (one with roast veges, one with rice and salad) and two lunches (once in wraps, and then with veges as pictured). Still tastes like a different, delicious meal on its fourth serving

21.01.2022 Lunch! This amazing noodle salad (still going strong after two days in the fridge), topped with leftover pulled pork. Noodle salad 1 small red capsicum, thinly sliced 1 small carrot, sliced into strips... Half a cos lettuce, chopped 1 cup edamame beans 1 cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted, plus extra to serve 1 packet edamame noodles (any noodles would work) Dressing 2 tbs sesame oil 1 tbs rice wine vinegar 1 tbs soy sauce 1 red chilli, seeds removed and finely diced (optional) Directions Prepare the noodles according to the directions on the packet. Drain well and set aside until needed. Place the capsicum, carrot, lettuce, edamame beans, coriander leaves and sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl. Add the noodles and toss well to combine. For the dressing, add ingredients together in a small jar with a screw top lid. Shake. Pour the dressing over the noodle salad and toss well to coat. This salad is great all by itself, and includes protein, thanks to the edamame beans and noodles. We like to have it with pan-fried salmon or some leftover roasted meats.

20.01.2022 It’s the final week of school lunch making in my household . Today, it was a roast lamb and salad roll, a chocolate smoothie, some corn chips, cheese and olives, a muesli bar and delicious cherries .

19.01.2022 YES! I have gift cards available. Please contact me to tailor a package for your special person.

17.01.2022 One of the most commonly asked questions from parents is: What to feed kids before after-school sport? This is what my kids are eating today. We have a short time between school and sport starting, so they eat on the way. Grapes (for energy, and delicious on a hot day)... Plain rice crackers (quickly digested carbs for energy) Cheese (some protein) Icy chocolate milk (protein and carbs) - this one has milk, honey, cacao and ice See more

16.01.2022 Self care comes in many different forms. For as long as I can remember, even before I understood the value of great nutrition, we have had a Sunday ritual of preparing a nourishing Sunday night meal. I have always believed that this meal sets us up with the energy and nutrients we need for the week ahead. Tonight’s menu, is a simple roast chicken, with sauerkraut and vegetables. It is delicious, it is nutrient-dense, and there will be leftovers for the next day . What does your self care look like on a Sunday?

15.01.2022 I couldn’t wait to eat this! The smell of the nutty granola baking was sooooo good! I have a few plans for the rest of it, so here is the base recipe in the meantime. Nutty granola (thrown together with whatever was on hand) 400g raw cashews 150g walnuts... 80g shredded coconut 2tsp maple syrup 1)Chop together the nuts and coconut in thermomix or food processor (do short bursts and keep checking it- it needs to be chunky) 2)Spread out onto 2 oven trays, lined with baking paper. 3)Drizzle maple syrup over mixture (I used 1 tsp per tray). Massage with hands and spread it out again. 4)Pop into oven at 160 degrees, fan forced. 5)Bake for around 1 hour, checking a couple of times, and moving the mixture around again. 6)Granola should be golden and crunchy. Allow to completely cool before keeping in an airtight container. I keep mine in the fridge to make it last longer.

15.01.2022 Remember this? I am happy to say that these sugar-free flavoured milks are now selling locally at Vidafit and Richo's Quality Meats. And I will also mention that the pink colour in the strawberry flavour is not colour 120 (from beetles), as one young lady was particularly concerned about this (it’s great to see kids questioning what’s in their food!).

15.01.2022 FACT Most people will make these key mistakes after losing weight: 1. Having a big blow out and not recovering 2. Going back to old habits, even though that’s what got you there in the first place 3. Not knowing what to do, so sticking to eating restrictively, only to completely fall off... I have seen thousands of tears. I have heard fears expressed hundreds of times. I hear about the stress and confusion of what to eat, every single day. And it breaks my heart. After working hard to lose weight, there is often that nagging fear that it won’t last. That feeling proud of yourself won’t last. That you will end up right back where you started. I want to share with you 3 simple tricks to continue your success after weight loss. These tricks aren’t about losing more weight, but keeping the weight you have lost off forever. Without stress. Without fear. And it’s free. Follow the link below to get access. https://courses.vidanutritionandwellness.com/weight-loss-su Have a great day! Jade

10.01.2022 I’ve been experimenting with some different plant-based sides, and this one is amazing. Today, I added a small amount of leftover roast chicken and fresh coriander. From the original recipe, I left out the onion, yoghurt, and almonds, to adapt to my family’s dietary needs, and the flavour is still fantastic. Get the recipe here https://www.shape.com//moroccan-cauliflower-chickpea-and-q

07.01.2022 Easy Sunday lunch- three egg scramble with spinach, and a side of baked beans. This is how I scramble: Heat small frying pan on low heat. Add a dash of olive oil. Crack eggs directly into the frying pan, and stir quickly. Add spinach leaves. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring until cooked, but still creamy.

07.01.2022 Fried rice- great for any time of day. This is the base of my fried rice- diced ham or bacon, a few scrambled eggs, shallots, lots of broccoli (2 large heads) and peas. When I have cauliflower, I’ll throw that in too. Finish it off with some cooked rice and a shake of soy sauce.

06.01.2022 When a slice of this Raisin Bread is in the toaster, the family come out of their hiding places, drooling. This little beauty is gluten, dairy and nut free, made with sweet potatoes and coconut flour. You can get the recipe here, thanks to Wholefood Simply https://wholefoodsimply.com/raisin-bread/

06.01.2022 As I sit here enjoying the last of Sunday night’s roast dinner, I am still chuckling. Easter Sunday is usually spent enjoying an amazing meal with my very large family. This year, even though we were all separate, six out of seven family households, somehow independently decided to cook roast lamb at home. We discovered this on Sunday afternoon. So, to have some fun with it, I made a fake magazine cover, and turned it into a bit of ‘friendly’ competition. As a result, we ‘chatted’ and laughed for hours on Sunday night, all separately, but still connected and together; just like we would have over Mum and Dad’s Easter Sunday roast PS. We won, regardless of what any of my brothers will tell you

06.01.2022 Abandoned banana = banana smoothies

05.01.2022 Hot cross buns, made with wholemeal spelt flour (as it’s a little easier for us to digest). The recipe made 12, but 3 went ‘missing’

04.01.2022 Super easy and versatile, enjoy Speedy Beans for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Ingredients: 400g can tomatoes 2x 400g cans cannelini beans, drained and rinsed... 1 tsp dried thyme leaves 1 tsp smoked paprika (only if you like the taste) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper A dash of tamari soy sauce Thermomix Add tomatoes, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper to thermomix bowl. Cook at 100 degrees for 10 mins, Speed 2 (with measuring cup removed and covered with steaming basket). Add drained beans and soy sauce. Cook at 100 degrees, reverse speed, Stir, for 3 mins. Stove top Add tomatoes, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper to a saucepan. Bring to simmer and cook for 10 mins. Add drained beans and soy sauce and continue to simmer for 3 mins. Serve with: Toast (pictured here with gluten free bread) Soft-boiled or poached eggs Rice and spinach leaves As a vegetable side dish for any meat-based meal A whole baked sweet or white potato

02.01.2022 My boys have been experimenting at home with different recipes, as part of learning@home. This is version 2 of ham and pineapple pizza scrolls, with yeast and wholemeal flour, which were declared to be the BOMB. We based it on this recipe http://www.beafunmum.com//thermomix-pizza-scrolls-recipe-/ (tweaks- wholemeal flour, extra ham, and pizza sauce)

02.01.2022 Pizza for lunch? Yes please! This lunchbox was pulled together with whatever was left in the cupboard and fridge (the day before grocery shopping). I like to keep some tinned fruit, popping corn, and wraps on hand for when we run out of the fresh stuff. Pizza made from Wonder Wholemeal wrap, cheese, basil, pineapple, and tomato, kidney bean cake, choc banana smoothie, popcorn, and tinned fruit.

01.01.2022 Great food is simple: lunch is leftover roast lamb, roasted sweet potato, spinach, and sauerkraut (Gutsy pepperberry kraut). This ticks all the nutrition boxes and tastes great too :)
