I started you off slowly with rainbow purees in porridge then moved on to a green as it gets smoothie with sweet, sweet potato gems but now it's time to go straight from the crisper to the table -- are you ready? There's almost no prep required for the veg in this bowl meaning you're up and out in no time at all. Now you may get a few side-glances from partners or workmates but feel free to give them a smug smile and continue eating your breakfast in peace. Confidence is a terribly … [Read more...]
A Dozen Ways to Add Veggies to Your Breakfast Bowl
Who knew adding veggies to your breakfast bowl could be such a shocking (SHOCKING!) idea? Apparently the concept is confronting and unusual and unexpected, yet -- as someone who adds veggies to porridge more days than not -- I find the reaction to the idea as shocking and unexpected as the idea itself.

Gluten Free Carrot Cake

I’ve known Emma online for a while, but last year I had to pleasure to meet her in person and have a lovely chat over lunch. A soft-spoken, New Zealand ex-pat, she is amazingly passionate about food and it comes through in every word, recipe and photo on her blog and in her … [Read more...]
Ooey-Gooey Gluten-Free Brownies
I could have called these the best gluten free brownies, ever; or perhaps secret ingredient brownies; or maybe even compost brownies; but ooey-gooey was simply too good a description to pass up. SEO be damned. These brownies, of course, have a touch of mad-science inspiration driving them forward ... but first a bit of background. Remember when I won that juicer a few months ago? Well RJ and I have been taking full advantage of summer fruit and veggies for juicing, but each time we'd … [Read more...]
