In the spirit of Cycle Syncing and supporting our Infradian Rhythm, I’ve introduced a little red meat during the Menstrual Phase of our cycle.

I made the most delicious fish the other night, it was so good I had to share it with you, so you too can add it your arsenal. The best part is once you get the hang of it, it’s an excellent dish to emulate with your protein of choice. Whether it’s chickpeas, tofu or…

Granted, not all dishes will work as leftovers, but some are the…
I wrote this article for the wonderful website www.kidshealth.com.au and as I stand here in my little kitchen falling back on the same recipes, turning to the very same advice when it comes to understanding kids, I figured it was only fitting to repost, so if you have a couple of minutes up your sleeve and…
Ok let’s talk Red Quinoa and whipping up salads whilst kids are around or for a quick pack-me-up work lunch. First, red quinoa, it has one of the highest protein contents of all grains.
