It seems like a long time since I have had anything to do with our blog and a lot of water has passed under the bridge. While I won’t go into that it’s been a bit of a hard road, but that is no excuse for neglecting this very important outlet. I’m back now and…
Purely Peach Rollups
Here are some Purely Peach Rollups, using only foraged peaches in the mix. The peaches were small but the taste was exquisite and they were freestone so separating the stones was no hassle. Simply threw them into a Vitamix Food Processor and blended down to a thick creamy mixture, tasting often as I went 🙂 This I…
Wicking Bed Progress
Hello foodies, thought it was about time to post the progress of our test wicking beds. As you can see by the pic they are certainly doing well and the greens flourishing and already being used in our kitchen. We are in the second month of growth here and the Kale and Chard are loving…
Eating Healthier
Hello folks, often it seems just too hard to think about changing your eating habits after a lifetime of focusing on the same types of often unhealthy options. There is no excuse any more, we now know that some of these foods are in fact the ones that are creating the health crisis we are…
Full Moon Energy
Tonight is the full moon and there is nothing like being under it, feeling the energy and appreciating the vibe. Watching it as it travels though cloud shadowing and then brightening the land, illuminating the ghost gums and silhouetting shapes on the horizon. There seems to be a feeling of heightened sensitivity and I realise…
Wicking Beds
Wicking Beds We live in the driest state in the driest country on earth so water is a valuable resource. With this in mind it is easy to see why the efficient use of water in growing fruit, vegetables and flowers is paramount. The home gardener has struggled for years to find ways to conserve…
Foraging
Morning all, It wasn’t until I truly opened my eyes as I traveled around that I realised that there are plenty of opportunities to forage wild fruits, berries and other foods in public locations. With the price of some of these being restrictive, especially those organic varieties, foraging can be a great way to save money…
The Alkaline Table
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 with 0 to 7 representing acidic foods and 7.1 to 14 representing alkalizing foods. The body tries to maintain an alkalizing pH of 7.4 by depositing and withdrawing acid and alkaline minerals within itself. Minerals may be deposited or extracted from bones, fluids or soft tissues to…
Mixed Fruit Smoothie
Morning all, I am trying to add more smoothies to my diet and progress toward a much healthier eating regime. It can be a difficult thing to do if you have been addicted to a diet of convenient over processed, sugar loaded and unhealthy food for many years. To be able to make this transition and minimise the…
Cheesecake Delights
Cheesecakes, yes they can be decadent, a taste sensation and quite addictive, guilt food at its best. Not a good thing when trying to lose a bit of weight or get on the healthy eating bandwagon. The thing is it doesn’t have to be that way, there is an alternative and believe me the tastes are no…
Going Green

With our rapid pace lifestyles and growing trends toward eating out, our bodies nutritional needs can easily be compromised. You just have to look around to see that a lot of our food intake is from over processed and arguably nutrition poor fortified foods. You ask…
Sun Dried Tomato Dip
Hi, just finished making a healthy sun dried tomato dip. I didn’t follow any particular recipe, just soaked some cashews overnight and had some crackers that were screaming out for some dip. Subsequently I went to the pantry and grabbed some ingredients. First I drained and let the cashews sit for a bit in the…
