{New Podcast!} Circadian Rhythm, Sunlight & Sleep, ${New Podcast!} Circadian Rhythm, Sunlight & Sleep, with Jess from @circadian.kids 🌞 This episode is GOLD for parents wanting to get their kids sleeping better (and in bed earlier!), wanting to improve their moods and gut health, and wanting more sleep and energy themselves! Jess talks about the epidemic of circadian disruption in our children, and how that is affecting them, how to manage artificial light, and how to mimic the light spectrum of sunset at night in your home for improved sleep. Jess is a mum to three and a naturopath specialising in Circadian Rhythms for kids. She is passionate about empowering parents to establish solar-powered routines in their families, for better sleep and less stress. Jess teaches parents how to align their daily activities with the sun and remove blue light at night, creating an environment that optimises our children’s health and wellbeing and creates deeper connection appreciation to the natural world.

Ok, here you are! My Impromptu Meatball Soup 😄 by popular demand!! (There’s no written recipe, sorry, I just filmed it as I made it up, but hopefully this video will inspire you to use what you have and get creative 😁)

We really enjoyed this soup - I think the fresh dill, sour cream and lemon MADE it 🤤 - and it makes me happy to reduce food waste by cooking this way. Many of the recipes in my cookbooks begin this way, with a fridge or freezer clean out, or using what I can find in my garden! What is your favourite way to use up the bits and pieces in the veggie drawer - soup, stew, bolognese, frittata…? 😃

Well that was a winner! I may not ever quite recreate it but that’s what happens when you use whatever you can find in your fridge 🤣🤣 Check out this yummy meatball soup in my stories - includes chicken stock, grated carrot, silverbeet, onion, garlic, sour cream, lemon, dill and more! 🤤 (And let me know if you think I should save it as a video!)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there ❤️ I’m so thankful for my beautiful mama who never stops loving and giving and is always there for us no matter what. Love you, Mum xx

We had a delicious pot-luck, family lunch at Joye’s house today - roast beef and veggies, chicken satay stir fry, roast chicken, potato salad, corned beef, salad, Joye’s sourdough bread, and homemade ice cream (cherry almond), mini pecan pies, date and cardamom tart and coffee for dessert 😄🤤 (all GF except the sourdough) which was greatly enjoyed by all! Our family lunches are the bomb!! 😁 Oh and my son Simi bought me a new vacuum cleaner (bless him, I needed one!) and the girls have been cleaning the kitchen for me - I do love practical presents, don’t you?!! 😄

Hope you’re being looked after, mamas, and having a lovely day. 🤗

14 years ago I developed this dairy-free, avocado

14 years ago I developed this dairy-free, avocado chocolate mousse/ice cream/semifreddo recipe completely by accident!! 🤯😍 It’s so good and it’s been waaaayyyy too long since I made it, but since it’s been popping up on people’s stories lately and since I have three ripe avocados that need to be used asap, I think it’s a sign… 😁

Find the recipe by tapping on the link in my bio then on this photo 🤗

Notes:

Use a powerful blender or food processor if you don’t have a Thermomix.

This recipe was developed for the TM31 which has a slightly smaller bowl than new models of the Thermomix, so you may want to double the recipe so that it’s easier to get a smooth texture.

{Recipe} This chocolate mousse will blow your mind

{Recipe} This chocolate mousse will blow your mind!! 🤯 (Well, it blew ours! 😄)

Our French friend, Claire, really dislikes cooking. But there’s one dish she’s well-known for, and that’s her chocolate mousse. Last time she came to visit, Joye watched her make the mousse and she was very confused when Claire threw the chocolate into a pan with some water and began stirring it on the stovetop with a fork… and it didn’t split!! The end result was so delicious, we had to have a go at recreating it, Claire style, on the stovetop with a fork :D (Except we beat the egg whites in the Thermomix* - Claire uses a stick blender.)

Here’s Claire’s recipe 😁: “Perfect Chocolate Mousse ! I never have recipes 🤗 but melt the 70% chocolate with a bit of water. Beat the egg whites. Put egg yolks with chocolate then put beaten egg whites with chocolate 😀So simple!!”

In case you need a few more details…

about 1/4 cup water (ish)
360-400g dark, 70% cocoa chocolate (Use good quality chocolate - it will ‘make or break’ your mousse! I love @huntedandgathered chocolate buttons, made from just organic cacao beans, coconut sugar and cacao butter.)
6 large eggs, separated
sea salt to taste

Place water into a heavy-based saucepan and heat, then add chocolate buttons or roughly chopped chocolate. Stir with a fork or wire whisk until melted and silky smooth then remove from heat.

While chocolate is melting, whisk egg whites with a good pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. (I use a Thermomix & whisk with butterfly 3 mins/speed 4 - or use electric mixer or hand mixer.)

Whisk egg yolks into the warm chocolate mixture then gently fold through the egg whites. Pour into a dish (or individual glasses) and place into the fridge to set for a couple of hours.

That’s it!!

I’ll be forever grateful to Claire for this decadent recipe, but I don’t think I’d better make it again for a while as it’s impossible to walk past the fridge without stopping for a little taste, many times a day 😂! (Thank you, Claire! 🤗❤️)

*Note: Yes you could use the Thermomix for the chocolate part - but it’s easy and quick on the stovetop 😊

{Recipe} The weather is cooling down, so here’s one of my favourite soups from my blog and Life-Changing Food cookbook… Cream of Broccoli Soup! A delicious, gut-healing, nourishing soup that is quick to make and perfect for lunch (or dinner or breakfast 😄) on a cool day. 💚🥦

250g broccoli (approx 1 head), cut into florets

60g ghee or duck fat
500g chicken stock
1 tsp fine sea salt
pepper to taste, if tolerated
2 egg yolks (optional but delicious & nutritious)

Method

Place broccoli, cauliflower, leek, ghee or fat, stock, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

Add egg yolks and blend with an immersion blender, or remove to a blender and blend until smooth.

Thermomix Method

Place broccoli, cauliflower, leek, ghee or fat, stock, salt and pepper and cook 20 min/100⁰C/speed 1.

Add egg yolks, and blend soup 30 sec/speed 9.

If you’re craving Anzac biscuits today but you need a GF or GAPS version… these are SO GOOD!! This is my Anzac Day Slice recipe made into biscuits - works beautifully, only takes about 15 mins to cook at 170C. Store them in the freezer and they’ll be crispy and slightly chewy 😍

A useful hack for making straight edges on your homemade crackers! Thanks, Joye 😘

These are the Buckwheat & Almond Crackers from Life-Changing Food - I love these crackers, if you roll them really thin like this between two sheets of baking paper, they turn out so crispy and are a great alternative to chips/crisps!! 😍
