I made Miso Cod and wanted something to serve it with, so made some Fried Rice with a Miso-Lemon Sauce and it went together very nicely. I used some Rainbow Swiss Chard (Silverbeet) and some Purple Sprouting Broccoli from my garden and added what other vegetables I had in the fridge. Feel free to use […]
If you are looking for a very quick and easy dinner this Fried Brown Rice is perfect. It is also a great way to get fussy eaters to eat a variety of vegetables and fish. I find that most children like Fried Rice and don’t realise they are eating lots of veges. The Salmon and […]
With the sun shining it is important to try and get some safe exposure to top up your Vitamin D levels however it is also very important to look after your skin and protect it from ultraviolet light. So I’m sharing Dr Deanna Minich’s “Top Plant Foods for Skin Health”. It is good to know […]
A Breakfast Juice/Smoothie sitting outside in the fresh morning air, what a lovely way to start the day!!! Juices are a great way of getting lots of nutrients into you.

The fermentation process encourages essential bacteria such as Lactobacilli to flourish in foods such as Kimchi. These probiotic strains are very important […]
A beautiful morning in my vegetable garden – it is amazing what a little bit of sunshine can do. The apple trees are in blossom and the basil and tomatoes are ready to be planted out. The first of my asparagus is up (they have been in three years now!) and I just love my […]
Arrived back in Dublin on Monday and am now acclimatising to the cold weather and getting over my jet lag!! I decided I needed some warming comfort food so made a big pot of Minestrone Soup which went down well with everyone in the house for a tasty lunch. Made it slightly differently to my […]
