Winter, the name, comes from an old Germanic word that means “time of water” and refers to the rain and snow of winter in middle and high latitudes.

Calling all chocolate lovers 🍫❤️ 

Easter is such a tricky time for me...the battle between participating in the magic of the Easter bunny and their treats with my young family and, weighing up the health damaging, highly processed and inflammatory industrial seed oils (aka canola, corn, soybean, rice bran) and refined sugars that are abundant in most cheap chocolates sold at Kmart or supermarkets...

🙅‍♀️industrial seeds oils contribute to widespread inflammation in the body due to the production methods used to extract oil from the seed. First extreme heat is used often causing oxidisation, then processing with petroleum-based solvents, next chemical deodorisation and the final cherry on the top...more chemicals are added to improve the "oils" colour...hmm sounds so good right 🤷‍♀️

BUT good news alert...there is a way you and your loved ones can enjoy some super delicious Easter chocolate goodness that are actually really fun and easy to make 🤗

see the GOODNESS ME (they're so good) CHOCOLATE RECIPE in the following slides ↪

These tasty little treats are made with nutrient-dense, minimally refined, real whole food...

🌱Cacao high in magnesium, iron, anti-oxidants, calcium and mood boosting neurotransmitters!
🌱Cacao's health benefits are so great that it is considered a functional food!

Perfect timing….see what side tomatoes are on? Yep best kept out of the fridge!!

Something just as crucial for keeping the freshest produce is buying in-season.🥕 This means that your fruits and veggies were harvested more recently AND had less distance to travel. Learn more with the Eating Seasonally in The Winter guide: http://ow.ly/qiYK50N5bCV

Tomatoes….tomatoes which ever way you say it YUM! It’s tomato season which means we have an abundance of tomatoes at the moment!

Tomatoes are a wee powerhouse of anti inflammatory properties. Packed full of lycopene, beta-carotene, folate, potassium, vitamin C, flavonoids & vitamin E.

They do belong to the ‘dirty dozen’ list so if purchasing commercially not spray free or organic…give them a little apple cider vinegar and baking soda bath (I’ll post more about this later).

There are so many favourite recipes that I love to make and preserve for when tomatoes are out of season…one of my go to recipes is from one of my super talented and lovely friends 💖

Such a beautiful nutrient dense way to use up those gorgeous veges and fruit growing in the garden.

Fun fact: Did you know tomatoes are actually a FRUIT!

Next will be low sugar, super yummy tomato (ketchup) sauce recipe 💫
