DAY ON A GOOD PLATE | In the spotlight today is Will ‘Brenno’ Brennan, Founding Director of Brennan & Co., custom furniture & joinery designer 🪑

If you’ve ever owned a piece from B&C, you’ll know it’s not just furniture — it’s timeless, functional art built to be cherished for generations 😍 
TBH, I expected more sauso rolls & Halal Snack Packs ( ) in this DOAGP, but his gorgeous wife Lindsay keeps him in a good paddock with nourishing home-cooked goodness ❤️

First up — that gym commitment is impressive. I get the coffee-first thing, but I’d suggest pairing it with fruit, nuts or a boiled egg to help buffer cortisol spikes 🍳

yoghurt with granola is a win - just make sure there’s loads of nuts, seeds and seasonal fruit for extra protein, fats and fibre 🫐

Rokeby is like kefir, rich in probiotics & gut-friendly. The natural, unsweetened version is perfect for a busy bloke like Will — smooth, drinkable & convenient 🏃🏽🔨💨

The servo coffee & pie? Not unexpected 😬😆 but you followed my ‘raw & real’ brief perfectly. As you’re a fan of , I know you’ve got better options — but you were on the road, so I’ll let it slide 😂

The tuna and corn cake situation could be pimped with jarred capsicum, pickles, avo, cheese & EVOO for a fun flavour combo 🥑

Not enough nourishment in the AM can lead to heavy snacking later - like Jatz - delish but dangerously moreish. Try baby cucumbers, cherry toms, olives & hummus with your cheese & nuts instead. The more nutrient-dense the food, the less you need to feel satisfied ✋🏼

Dinner looked beautifully balanced & I love seeing seafood — try native options like Barramundi, sardines or mackerel. Similar levels of Omega 3s as Tassie salmon, but fewer nasties from intensive farming practices 🎣 (check my past reels for more on this!)

And finally — I’m a massive sweet tooth too, but aim for >70% cacao dark choc with fewer additives & more health benefits. Fruit & nuts in choc? Yes please — even better! 🍫

Love your work Brenno — hope these tweaks keep your energy levels strong to keep up with your 3 beautiful boys & booming businesses 👏

GOOD INNINGS | Call me a Stage 5 clinger - but after 8 years at - today was my final workout here…and it was a real sweaty one thanks to the inexhaustible coach Jane 💦😂

I’ve been at F45 in Orange in the capacity of both coach and member & it’s safe to say I didn’t really stick around for the programming - but I did for the community 🥰 (plus lets face it, I was never really all that compliant anyway 🤪)

Over the years I’ve trained and worked with the most amazing people & coaches - some of them I now call life-long friends. There have been so many ups and downs - being a highlight, whichever NSW Government public servant decided it was cool to mandate masks in a gym clearly has never worked out in their life. Right - yuk 😷🤮😂

Although my focus with Good Plate is much more around nutrition & nourishment - as you CANNOT out train a bad diet - PT is still so important to me and I see strength & resistance training, as well as building a good routine around movement & fitness, as a vital way to optimise health & overall wellness 💆🏽‍♀️

Where to next? I’ll be lunging just across the hallway to and I am SO excited about this new chapter - meeting new people and further establishing friendships already forged 💫

I currently offer 1:1 strength & resistance training to existing clients - but if this is something of interest - I do have a few spots open Tuesday - Thursday. Please just email or DM me and we’ll get chatting about your goals 💪🏽

Until then - here are some shots & clips that I found deeeeeep in the archives of some memories from that gross blue floor that give me all the feels - and I know there are also some creepy ones on the purple F45 phone that I hope never ever surface again - you better burn that thing on Sunday 🔥

Thanks for all the good times to EVERYONE involved - it’s been a lot of sweaty fun 🥹

Buon appetito 🍋

DAY ON A GOOD PLATE | Today I’m with Jess Conliffe aka ‘Shop Girl’ at the iconic JUMBLED. in Orange — but she’s so much more. Artist, model, graphic designer, event curator... the list is impressive! 💃
 Jess is fun, fiercely friendly, a total force & she loves good food. 🙌🏽

Alongside unstoppable Pip she’s helped grow into one of Australia’s biggest women’s networking events. With the final Huddle happening this weekend, I had to find out how she fuels herself in the lead-up 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Kicking off the day with a crispy omelette — yum! I’d suggest adding avocado with lime, peanuts & a bit of kimchi for extra healthy fats, protein, probiotics & fibre 🍋

The mackerel chilli paste is a clean flavour bomb rich in Omega-3s — great for hormone support & pregnancy. Eggs bring a nice folate boost too. 🍳

Although handy, swapping the yoghurt pouch for a DIY mix of full-fat yoghurt, whole fruit & seeds would offer more fibre & nutrients. I love the grazing box — fruits, veggies, cheese & olives are fab for stable energy. A couple of dark choc almonds instead of those cheeky choccy eggs could be a gut-friendly upgrade. 🍫

The broth is warming, nourishing & gentle on the gut — I’ll be popping into to try it! The cruffin? Let’s just say — sharing is caring. 😉

Dinner looks beautifully balanced with lots of colourful veg — more is more, right !? The beef adds a good iron hit & a squeeze of lemon will help with absorption thanks to the Vitamin C. 🥩🍋

Seasonal fruit for dessert is a win. Kiwi Golds would add a nice twist — they’re amazing right now 🥝 If you’re open to a Milo swap, unsweetened drinking cacao could be a nourishing upgrade. 🧋

Good quality electrolyte supplements can be helpful, but I’d go for fresh lime or lemon juice over sugar-free cordials which usually contain artificial sweeteners 🍋‍🟩

Jess, your day is full of colour, balance & joy — no wonder you’ve got the energy to do it all! 🤪

I’ll be this weekend (fan-girling over 🤩) & with just 5 tix left there’s still time to grab yours!

Buon appetito 🍋

DAY ON A GOOD PLATE | The first installation of DOAGP for 2025 is with the gorgeous Madeline Young, Director and Curator of in Orange NSW. is also a busy mum of Magnus, talented artist and self-titled chocolate fiend 🍫

The Corner Store Gallery is a vibrant space featuring artists from near and far and Madi does the most incredible job showcasing the artists - it’s well and truly worth a visit 🖼️

With a hands-on role that involves climbing ladders, hanging heavy artworks & moving sculptures, Madi needs to stay well-fuelled. Breakfast isn’t for everyone, and while I fully endorse having water before coffee - swapping skim milk for full cream could improve hunger regulation. A long black with a dash of milk is another option if a big cup of dairy isn’t your thing 🐮.

Fruit is the perfect snack, though bananas have a high glycemic index rating so I’d suggest pairing it with nut butter or mixed nuts. This will help to reduce a rapid blood sugar spike and will help keep Madi feeling more satisfied throughout the day 🍌

Madi’s water intake is on point—no wonder she’s glowing as that Green Goddess salad is packed with good fats, protein & fibre. I’d use the whole avocado and be more generous with the feta and pepitas—no need to limit especially when spreading them across meals. You can easily switch up the protein with tofu, eggs, poached chicken, or even smoked trout. 🥚

Pairing the apple with protein is smart, but I’d swap cheese stringers for cut up cheddar or mozzarella —just check the label for clean ingredients as I’ve found a lot of additives in some dairy snacks. 🍎🧀

That shell pasta ‘bolognese’ sounds like a hit! Adding lentils and zucchini is genius for extra protein and fiber. Love your work, Madi! 🐚

As a fellow sweet tooth, I love Medjool dates too - all natural. Dip them in melted dark chocolate and shaved coconut for a treat! has a great recipe 🤤

A better choice of dark choc is classic blackout 85% from or Moser Roth 72% from . Packed with fibre, polyphenols and antioxidants just a square or two does the trick! 🍫

Buon appetito 🍋✨
