Bringing a whole new level of understanding to hormones in the female body, their role in the body and the impact of how they change through a woman’s life and the options available in perimenopause and menopause. Another game changer episode 🙏

**game changer**
This truly is a must listen game changing episode for all women. Totally flipping on its head everything we have been told about exercise and nutrition. We are not just small men but have been feed the shrink it and pink it approach - taking men’s products, making them smaller and adding pink and calling it women’s product. Add to that very little research on women who clearly have different bodily structures, organs and hormones.
Literally so many 💡 moments in this podcast that one listen won’t be enough.

Making jam drop (thumbprint) cookies today (regular and gluten free) with my 11 year old to “ensure” they convert to gluten free well and also must pass vigorous taste testing by my family 🤣. Pays to be sure extra sure before making with my cooking class that I run for the Salvation Army. 🤩🤩

A keeper recipe perfect for this sunny long weekend.

This crispy halloumi pearl couscous salad from is one to make up as a double batch and keep in fridge for quick lunches or dinners over long weekends. Delicious as a meal on its own or served with fish, chicken or red meat.

I make it with brown rice so it’s and just do the halloumi as needed.

Gluten free experimentation win. So yum.

Converted an apple cinnamon swirl loaf recipe (link 👇🏻) to a simply by using Cole’s branded I’m free plain flour mix. Served with quick butterscotch sauce - literally mix 1 cup brown sugar with 270ml tin coconut cream and heat until sugar melted and warmed through.

Now as every cook knows, this is a rare occurrence when the first attempt with direct substitution actually works!!! 🎉 I absolutely have had my share of inedible results trying to convert recipes to suit gluten free plus other intolerances.

What epic wins or epic fails have you had converting recipes?

Sweet potato, spinach and cranberry salad is always a sunny weather winner. It’s one of those salads I make where the measurements are the thereabouts type 🙊.

Cut 2-3 sweet potatoes and 2-3 red onions into bite size chunks. Toss in 3TBS olive oil and 3TBS maple syrup and roast at 220C (200C fan forced) for 30mins or until tender.

Put a bag of baby spinach on a serving platter, sprinkle over pumpkin seeds and craisins.

In a small bowl warm 1/2 cup cranberry sauce in microwave 20-30sec until runny. Then whisk in 3TBS red wine vinegar and 4TBS olive oil.

Add the roast sweet potato and onion to the spinach and drizzle with the cranberry dressing to serve!

San Choi Bow is an excellent dish to add lots of veggies too - 9 different veggies in this dinner tonight.

To the chicken mince, I have added red and yellow capsicum (they offer different nutrients due to their different colours), zucchini, water chestnut, spring onion, carrot, ginger and garlic and it will be served in lettuce cups. Bringing the veg total to 9!
