winter
YAY x gabillion !! My new, improved blog is here and I am beyond thrilled / excited / happy / grateful to be able to share this with you! Thrive have done an amazing job making it super pretty and user friendly, thanks guys. So grab a cup of tea .. (or a matcha latte after you’ve read this post), get comfy and have a look around.
Is there any better way to eat cauliflower ? Roasting it just makes it so soft and flavoursome with the right amount of crunch on the edges. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I used to think cauliflower was a bit of a meh vegetable, this salad has totally changed it for me. This combo is meant to be together, I first got this idea from Jess Cox Nutritionist (genius) and have put my own little twist on it. I eat this for a main meal or as a side, plus I always make sure I have some leftover to brighten my lunch for the next day #yayleftovers. This recipe is extremely versatile, use whatever beans, seeds or grains you want. I sometimes add in grated beetroot, and I’ve made it with sesame seeds and cannelinni beans >> it always turns out great.
So next time you get a cauliflower, make sure this recipe is on your hit list.
Magical matcha, oh so tasty and versatile. I’ve put it in smoothies, balls, granola bars and now porridge. I adore the flavour and the colour so in my opinion matcha is just all around awesome. There’s still a bit of winter left, even on the Gold Coast. This porridge is perfect for those cold mornings, a bowl of sustained energy and antioxidants to keep you full and nourished.

I couldn’t resist a couple of pieces of Loving Earths dark chocolate >> match made in heaven ! Matcha made heaven.. Haha, sorry. Crunchy cacao nibs and fresh blueberries were excellent choices too. I think some berry chia jam and banana would also be delicious if the chocolate is a bit too extravagant for you to have in the morning. But seriously, just look at it oozing into itself!
These bad boys are the most amazing cookies hands down. The perfect cookie I would go so far as to say. I’m pretty sure Blaze thinks so too, those eyes are hoping that it falls to the ground so he can gobble it up, even though I tell him that chocolate is bad for him. I nearly always enjoy these with a hot drink >> green tea, hot chocolate, chai, matcha to name a few. Brayden loves them with cold milk. He begs me to make them and I often surprise him with them.
