Here’s an easy, healthy pizza dough that doesn’t involve any strange ingredients (like cauliflower). Just pantry staples to make a recipe that always works so that you can feel like a pro and easily whip up an easy pizza (or pizza scrolls) when you fancy it. Even if you don’t normally stock yeast, a few…

Beef and Lentil Pies
These beef and lentil pies are a perfect hearty winter warmer. They’re packed with veggies and are very filling thanks to all the fibre from the veggies and lentils plus the protein from the lentils and beef. These mini pies are great for a weekend lunch or the lunchbox. You can easily adapt this recipe…
Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
These muffins are a new favourite in our house. They taste like such a treat, but contain the goodness of wholemeal flour, yoghurt, eggs and raspberries. They’re a variation of my original Magic Wholemeal Muffins. If you haven’t made the original yet, add them to your to-do list! We like to make these chocolate raspberry…
Pumpkin, Chickpea and Coconut Soup
This take on the classic pumpkin soup is packed with vitamins, minerals and gut-friendly fibre. Chickpeas are rich source fibre as well as protein, giving this vegan soup a much needed boost. My pumpkin, chickpea and coconut soup is a hearty winter warmer, suitable for the whole family. My husband swears by adding the optional…
Nut Free Lunchbox Ideas
You’re not alone if you’ve ever found yourself staring blankly into your child’s empty lunch box, wondering what in the world to fill it with. How much? How many veggies? Will they even eat it? Will it keep them full enough? As a mum, I understand how tricky it can be balancing what you know they…
Macadamia and Coconut Granola
Finally, a healthy granola recipe! A delicious baked blend of oats, macadamia nuts and coconut flakes. This recipe tastes just like ANZAC biscuits. This granola was original developed as an ANZAC biscuit granola recipe, for Vicinity Centres. It’s too good not to share on here too! The golden syrup helps with the ANZAC biscuit flavour,…
English Muffin Pizzas
These 5-ingredient English Muffin pizzas are tasty crowd pleaser. Perfect as warm afternoon tea, a side to tomato soup for lunch or cold in the lunchbox to switch up sandwiches! You can use regular grated mozzerella cheese, but I love bocconcini for this recipe. Bocconcini are small balls of mozzarella made from cows milk in…
Baked Pear Porridge with Candied Walnuts
If you like the comfort of steaming oats on a cold morning, you will love this version. The little extra effort is well worth it. I love using Goldrush pears for baking and cooking with. They’re sweet, juicy and grown right here in WA. Any other pear (or apple) variety will work too. I love…
Beef and Vegetable Casserole
Most families have their own version of a casserole with their own secret ingredients. Not many meals are as filling and comforting on a cold winter’s night than a homemade casserole. This is our family’s favourite beef casserole. It’s full of flavour, without resorting to a packet mix or a jar sauce. My magic ingredient…
Air Fryer Fries
If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I’m usually not a huge fan of kitchen gadgets. I’m all about simple home cooking that anyone can achieve. If there’s one thing that is challenging this belief for me though, is the air fryer. I’ve had a lot of cooking fries or chips in the…
Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
Air fryers aren’t just for reheating frozen foods. Cooking from scratch is made quick and easy with this handy bench top contraption. My chicken nuggets are easy to make from scratch (no nasties and made with real chicken!) plus they’re a real crowd pleaser. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside and ready in…
Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts and Broccoli
Air fryers have been around for a while, but have recently had a resurgence with newer cheaper models including the Kmart version for just $69. They’re not just for rehearing frozen chips and crumbled chicken though! Air fryers are an excellent way of cooking roast vegetables in a hurry – including greens. Even if Brussels…
