Cheap, healthy dinner ideas 🍗🥔🍠🥬🥕

Charcoal chicken and veg for Sunday dinner.

Whole chickens are way cheaper, and you can roast it if you don’t have a charcoal BBQ but imho the cost of the were worth it for the flavour.

Spuds and other seasonal veg are nice and cheap, plus an easy coleslaw with kale, cabbage, carrot, and a makeshift ranch-ish dressing.

Something else I had was a stonefruit BBQ sauce I made using leftover fruit from a produce box over summer so let me know if you want that recipe.

Less cash, less compromises 🏋️‍♀️🛒🍗

Ways to keep your protein up with budget in mind (part 1): use lentils and other legumes to bulk out your mince.

Decide what mince suits your budget - beef is not always the cheapest, and you might be okay with lower star rated mince.

Tofu is still a good protein option with 15-20g of protein per 100g (check your labels), and

Cheap, healthy dinner ideas 🌮

I’m not a recipe girlie but just have a go at this one.

Brown rice, a bit of corn if you want, Passata or tinned tomato, a bit of broth if you have it, herbs & spices. Cook rice until tender and then finish cooking with th rest of it.

Tortillas, mashed black beans, feta & leftover tasty cheese, Mexican spices.
Cook the beans, mix it all, spoon into the tortillas and fold over into quesadilla shape and then fry to crisp up.

Serve with guacamole or greens or hot sauce.
Whole thing cost under $10 with leftovers.
It was delicious and plenty of protein too.

Fill your cart for less $ not less health 🛒🥦

Order details:
$165 worth of groceries (inc $30 of nappies).
2 adults and one toddler. Shopped at Coles.
Bought some staples just in case, IYKYK.

For this experiment I chose conventional produce, meat, and ingredients. I chose own brands if they were cheaper. I included canned and dry beans, and both frozen and fresh produce.

This is more than we would need for the week and I also had a few things in the pantry and freezer already. I’ll show you how I’m making this all work.

A beautiful house doesn’t equal a safe nervous system.

You can have the dream house…
and still feel unsettled, overstimulated or like you don’t quite belong in your own life.

Real safety isn’t aesthetic.
It’s built through the daily rituals, rhythms, and values you come back to again and again.

In the latest episode of I’m sharing the deeper truth about:
✨ creating home inside yourself
✨ why predictability regulates your nervous system
✨ how routines shape identity and emotional stability

If life has felt chaotic, heavy or uncertain lately, this is for you.

Your next steps are on the final slide.

If you’re looking at the clock or your sleep tracker and wondering how you were asleep for that long but still feel exhausted, then it’s time to dig a little deeper.

As a nutritionist and lifestyle medicine practitioner here in Yarrabilba, I know from my clients how sleep impacts our health and life in so many ways. As a mum (and former party girl) I know exactly how much sleep deprivation impacts you… and that life still goes on when you’re tired!

I support women experiencing fatigue, hormone imbalance, stress-related burnout, and low energy through personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

In clinical practice, persistent fatigue is rarely caused by sleep alone. It is often linked to underlying nutrition, hormone, metabolic or stress-related factors. The right approach depends on whether you are struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, waking too early, or not reaching deep restorative sleep.

Read on for possible reasons you still feel exhausted and simple lifestyle and nutrition steps to improve your energy.
