HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

Following on from an amazing year in 2011~ the ever more exciting, highly anticipated, widely talked about, pondered, researched, theorised and debated year of 2012 is now upon us!!!

According to some it’s the year to end all years (in a very literal sense), but only time will tell what is to become of our watery planet! Personally I’m VERY excited by all of the possibilities and the potential that we have as a family (a really big universal planet earth family!!).

Consciousness is definitely shifting and I believe that all of these shifts are moving us towards a greater version of everything! Sometimes it’s difficult to see the forest through the trees, but it’s definitely out there!! WOOP!!!!

I have a whole bunch of stories I’d love to share Continue reading →

MAKE: JAMMING IT UP!!!

I think you can tell a lot about a person by the contents of their fridge. I guess that also depends on whether they’ve done the shopping recently or not, but nevertheless when I am in someones home I have a compulsive tendency (and a sometimes insatiable urge) to open and peruse the contents of their food life!!

So on my recent trip to England, and after becoming sufficiently acquainted with my boyfriends beautiful family (which didn’t take very long!!!) I was grateful to be delving into a new world of deliciousness!

I love that there seems to be common staples throughout many kitchens, yet all with regional variations. Continue reading →

BNE: Digging for Platinum, but I’ll take Gold…

So Brisbane airport…… Hmmmm.

 

The last time I wrote about Brisbane airport was from the comfortable confines of the Gold Star Lounge. The airport itself is much less than impressive.

 

I’m on route (via the Cape) to London. I started in Cairns, am now in Brisbane, next is Melbourne, then a stop-over in Hong Kong, which I was (blissfully) unaware of until I checked in this morning, before I can finally board the plane that will touch down at my final destination, London Heathrow. And right now the only thing standing between me and the pleasurable symphony of silent movement and hushed conversations behind those glass panels Continue reading →

RAW: Cheering for cheese-less cheese… and other yumminess!

Happy Thursday!!

I did mean to write this pretty much the day after the last post… life clearly had other plans however! So in the interests of those left salivating over the kitchen prep on the last one, here’s what came from out gallant efforts in the kitchen. Christie and Nikki do vegan lasagne! I would say ‘raw’ lasagne but I did cook up a mean nutritional (savoury) yeast (cheese-less) ‘cheese’ sauce! I say ‘cheese’ because I’m sure that unassuming cheese eaters would not spot the difference if it was layered in anyway! That and I caught my ‘meat-eating, milk-drinking, McDonald loving chef flat-mate’ with his fingers in the pot! HA! Go nutritional yeast!!

So we layered the eggplant, sliced broccoli, green leaves, and alternated with pesto, tomato sauce and drizzled in Continue reading →

ENJOY: Happy Savoury Saturday!

Hello again!

I’m back, for the third time in a week maybe, or close to it! I think you’d call this “on a roll!!” It’s a delightful Saturday afternoon, I’m sitting on the lounge with a cup of herbal tea, a few little dark chocolates from CoffeeWorks (…mmm, dark ginger bark!), have just enjoyed a 10minute nana nap, am listening to Vicki Christina Barcelona soundtrack via Christie’s laptop on the opposite couch, and there’s a slight breeze rustling through the open blinds. 5pm on a Saturday in Cairns, a truly magical time.

Today has been lovely. We went to a yoga class and ‘grew’ a few inches this morning, my body left feeling looser than when it arrived; Continue reading →

SECOND ROLL OF FLOSS…. SECOND BLOG FOR THE WEEK!!! YAY!!!

So the radical habit forming enthusiasm has been given a HUGE boost this week with the arrival of my inspiring, energetic, and fabulously healthy sister Christie! She has come to visit from Sydney for a week and has brought all of her raw, vegan, nutrition, yoga, exercise energy with her! Double YAY!

This week has been heavenly for my insides, green smoothies for breakfast, big dark green and colourful salads for lunch and dinner, I’ve made my brazil nut milk, have sprouting buckwheat in my fridge, have chia, goji, banana and black sapote parfait in my fridge as we speak, I made my first freestyle pumpkin soup last (inspired by the pumpkin in the kitchen and the sick flatmate!) Mmmm….. Continue reading →
