I’ve fallen in love with frittatas. They’re delicious, nutritious, quick and easy and they require everyday ingredients most of us have on hand. Get creative with flavours and let your tastebuds guide you into frittata heaven. Instead of making one big one, make some minis by pouring the mixture into muffin pans. They taste great [...]

by Justine on 18. Nov, 2010 in Cooking, Friday Night Feast, Nutrition
What do you get when you put together a group of health-conscious people, home-cooked nourishing meals and great conversation? Well hold onto your hats boys and girls you’re about to find out! There’s a whole new reason to look forward to Fridays. And it’s kind of a big deal. If you care about eating well, [...]
The Real Deal on Chicken Stock
by Justine on 22. Aug, 2010 in Cooking, Detox, Nutrition, Recipes
Lately, it’s easy to fall for clever marketing gimmicks and pretty packets touting the words “Real” “Natural” “Homemade” and “Organic”. But don’t be fooled! Can you decipher the label to tell what’s REALLY in it? Would you eat it knowing it could be severely harmful to your health? Whilst you may be accustomed to scan [...]
Spicy Curried Apple Soup
by Justine on 03. Jun, 2010 in Cooking, Nutrition, Recipes
I ripped this recipe straight from Nourishing Traditions aka “The Real Food Bible”. There’s nothing much more enticing than the warm earthy spices of ginger, cloves and cinnamon to make your tastebuds sing, your toes curl and your immune system even stronger! As you’ve probably already discovered with my soup theme, it’s a great idea [...]
Build your own Salad Bar
by Justine on 30. Apr, 2010 in Environment, Gardening, Nutrition
Is it just me or do you also find yourself surrounded by gardening inspiration lately? I’ve long been daydreaming about fresh garden beds full of juicy tomatoes, lettuce, cauliflower and climbing peas (anything Real Food related!) so after many umms and ahhs, we’ve finally begun! The only thing is, I wish we’d started sooner! Personally, [...]
A Seasonal (and smarter) Approach to Detox- Part One
by Justine on 01. Mar, 2010 in Detox, Education, Exercise, Nutrition, Pre-Conception, Thoughts
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! (For those of us in Australia that is!) Despite which part of the world you live, a change of Season marks the perfect time for a Health Tune-up or should I say, Health Tune IN. Whilst “Detox” becomes yet another $Cash Cow in the land of Health and Wellness, we can [...]
Any Muppet can cook!
by Justine on 13. Jan, 2010 in Cooking, Nutrition, Thoughts
After Home Economics in High School, my foray into cooking ventured no further than heating a can of Baked Beans, or making a five minute trip to the local takeaway. The times I did attempt to, were often met with critiscism from family members – needless to say, I stopped trying. Years later, the day I [...]
The Definition of Real
by Justine on 05. Nov, 2009 in Nutrition
I have great news for you. You don’t have to deprive yourself of the food you desire. That’s right – you really don’t. For years now, we’ve been confused and intimidated by the the so-called “food experts” into eating low-fat non-foods, obsessing about Calories, and believing traditional foods such as Butter and Red Meat are [...]
It’s time to get REAL about FOOD
by Justine on 23. Oct, 2009 in Nutrition, Thoughts
Food. We eat it for many reasons other than just hunger. For love, to feel inspired, to feel nourished, for comfort…some people eat to live, others purely live to eat! The key thing most fail to realise, is the crucial role food plays – not only keeping us from sickness and disease - but in living a full authentic life. [...]
Are you too busy to eat well and exercise?
by Justine on 07. Sep, 2009 in Exercise, Thoughts
If you answered a resounding “yes” to the above question- be honest with yourself- is that statement absolutely true? or is it just another excuse? trust me, I’ve heard them all, and this one tops a long, long list.
