Hi I'm Liz a Brisbane based Dietitian and Nutritionist. I love cooking and sharing recipes with you!

14/04/2025

It’s time to introduce myself again. I’m Liz and incredibly grateful for the support of this online community and for those who share a similar love and passion for cooking, health and nutrition.

I know a lot of people have come to follow me for the recipes I share (and thank you so much for that, it’s opened lots of opportunities for me and is a wonderful creative outlet that I didn’t know I needed).

I also have a passion and love for nutrition education and making it as practical and easy as possible for people to build health and wellness into their day to day life.

Nourish and Thrive was the theme of this beautiful event hosted by thank you again for putting this together.

In particular a focus on women’s health and hormones. The overwhelming response to the event, I believe, is because we don’t talk enough about it! That we are women and our hormones cycle month to month and change as the years pass. These changes can affect every aspect of our lives. Having an awareness and understanding of how nutrition can support hormonal health is so important.

What we discovered about hormonal health and nutrition:

1. Focusing on gut health and promoting a healthy microbiome to support the ‘estrobolome’. This will help support estrogen balance and ease PMS, Perimenopause and Menopausal symptoms
2. Add variety and diversity to the types of plant fibres you eat every day. These are the prebiotic fibres that improve gut health. Aim for 30 plant foods a week!
3. Probiotics and their important role. Supplements can benefit if you take them consistently.
4. Maintaining and building muscle strength for active and healthy aging.
5. Getting enough protein throughout the day to support this and considering the clinical benefits of Creatine for muscle and brain health.
6. Sleep quality and how it’s important for hormonal health, appetite regulation and cortisol levels. Make it a priority as much as you can.

I do offer one on one consultations so please send me a message if you would like to learn more. Also my website coming soon (so I can organise all these recipes for you in an easy to search way - I can’t wait!)

Thanks again,

PART 2 of my trolley/product reviews.

This week I’ve taken to the yoghurt aisle. And isn’t it just overwhelming! New products all the time, health claims on every package. It’s hard to decipher what’s a good choice.

I’ve added some options for you to consider and tips for how to choose a good yoghurt.

Please add any more suggestions or products you love to the comments below.

PART 1 of many trolley/product reviews to come.

Last week I shared to stories some grocery items and how to compare products in the supermarket. Thanks for your overwhelming support and fantastic ideas for more product reviews and categories that you would like to see.

This week it’s crackers, rice crackers, snack bars and others that don’t need the fridge. Plus iceblocks.

Please add any more suggestions to the comments below.

Hi friends, I thought it was time to say a hello and introduce myself. I’m Liz and over this past year I have really enjoyed bringing some of my favourite recipes to life in my kitchen and sharing them here. Thank you for following along and trying these recipes in your home. Hearing you have enjoyed them is so very rewarding 🫶

Looking back, I created my first recipe reel 12 months ago. I never imagined how effective they are at showcasing healthy food and cooking techniques.

I’m a Dietitian and Nutritionist by trade but also a home cook at heart.

Facts about me:

- I’ve lived in Brisbane my whole life
- I can’t ride a bike without training wheels 🫣
- My earliest food memory as a child is picking through dried lentils with my great grandmother before she made Greek lentil soup
- I’ll add spinach to anything if I get a chance
- I’m a messy cook - instagram vs reality!
- I work in aged care and it’s a big reminder to me that health is wealth, and that older people are so valuable.
- Potatoes should be a food group- i’d happily eat a bowl of hot chips for dessert
- I’ve wrestled with the lid of my food processor too many times that I’d rather chop it all myself.
- My favourite movie is My Best Friends Wedding
- I’m in a long term relationship with my slow cooker and air fryer
- Puglia, Italy is on my travel bucket list. All of Italy actually!
- I have an addiction to flavoured sparkling water
- I’m trying hard this year to reduce food waste
- I’m a mum of two and have had the interesting experience of feeding one very picky eater and another that’s easy going…can anyone relate ?

**I would love to find out more about you too. Please share where you are from and your favourite meal to make/eat at home**
