January isn’t about extremes — it’s about smarter, more intentional choices.

Plain yogurt is one of those quiet staples that just works:
✔️ Protein to support energy and workouts
✔️ Live cultures that can support gut health
✔️ No added sugar
✔️ Full-cream or low-fat, depending on your goals

From quick breakfasts to lighter, creamy meals, it’s flexible, practical, and easy to stay consistent with.
That’s why Guiltless plain yogurt stays in my fridge. I make it work for my goals, not the other way around. 🥣✨

Highly requested ✨ My mixed brown rice 🍚

I personally need my rice to have flavour — plain rice isn’t my vibe 😅
So this is how I make my mixed brown rice using my rice cooker for perfect texture (stove-top works too).

🌾 What’s in it & why:
•Turmeric – adds colour and has anti-inflammatory benefits
•Black pepper – helps your body better absorb turmeric
•Cumin – adds depth of flavour and supports digestion
•Chicken bouillon – for seasoning and real-life flavour (can omit and add salt instead)
•Frozen peas & carrots (thawed) – easy veggie boost
•Sometimes I add spinach too, but didn’t have it this time

The full step-by-step is in the video: super easy, no fancy ingredients.
This is a simple way to make brown rice more palatable and family-friendly without feeling like “diet food.”

What says Trini Christmas more than a good coconut sweetbread?
This one is pure nostalgia for me my Granny Maureen’s Coconut Sweetbread. Simple, comforting, old-school goodness that has been a staple in my family every December 💛✨

This version its made with Lotus Cassava & Wheat Flour because I really want to show how versatile this flour is. One blend that you can make everything from sweetbread to hops to Christmas bread without needing different flours. Convenience and tradition in one bowl.

Here’s the recipe from Granny’s kitchen to yours 👵
Ingredients
• 3 cups Lotus Cassava & Wheat Flour
• 1 cup sugar (May sub for 3/4 cup monk fruit sugar if desired)
• 1 cup grated coconut
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp bitters
• ½ cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, golden raisins, yellow & green cherries) Plus 1/4 cup extra to stud on top before baking
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 cup water
• 1 egg

Method

1. Mix sugar, coconut, and egg together.
2. Add vanilla, bitters, melted butter, and spices.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour + baking powder.
4. Add dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
5. Add water to form a soft dough (do not knead).
6. Fold in the dried fruit.
7. Pour into two 2-lb loaf pans (8" × 3 7/8" × 2 9/16").
8. Stud the top of the breads with the reserved dry fruit pressing into the top of the dough lightly.
9. Bake for about 45 minutes.
10. Optional glaze: 2 tbsp water + 2 tbsp sugar, brushed on while warm for that classic sheen.

A real Trini Christmas classic, straight from my Granny's recipe book 📖— made beautifully with Lotus Cassava & Wheat Flour. 🎄🤍
Save this recipe and try it this season… your kitchen will smell like Christmas in minutes.

🎄✨ Bring a little nostalgia into your kitchen this Christmas with the easiest homemade bread you’ll make all season. Just five ingredients, egg-free, dairy-free and sugar-free BUT still soft, comforting and easy!

Most commercial breads sneak in sugar to feed the yeast but not this one. Pure, simple ingredients and a straightforward method for bread that’s wholesome and delicious.

📝 Ingredients:

•500g Lotus Cassava & Wheat flour
•1 packet (11g) instant yeast
•1 tsp salt
•3 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
•1⅓ cups warm water

👩‍🍳 Method:
1. Mix flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl or stand mixer. Add oil and water. Knead 7 mins with a mixer or 10–15 mins by hand until smooth and elastic.

2. Grease a large bowl with a little oil and place the kneaded dough inside. Move the dough around so the oil lightly coats the surface. Cover with a damp towel and let rise 60–90 mins, until doubled in size.

3. Shape dough to fit your bread pan. Lightly rub the top with oil to prevent sticking. Cover again and let rise 30 mins.

4. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40 mins. Let cool on a rack for at least 15 mins before slicing.

✨ Soft, simple, classic—just like you remember.

💾Save this  Festive Quiche Recipe made with Lotus & Cassava Flour to make this Festive Season 🎅🎄
Using this flour blend adds fiber, gives you a sturdy, flaky crust and proves just how versatile it really is in recipes. Holiday-perfect, but easy enough for any brunch. 🎄

Here’s the full recipe👩‍🍳

🌾 Crust Ingredients
•1 ¾ cups (247 g) Lotus Cassava & wheat flour blend
•½ cup (115 g) cold butter, cubed
•1 tsp salt
•1 egg
•2 tbsp cold water

🥣 Crust Instructions
1. Butter and line a 10-inch pie pan; set aside.
2. In a food processor, combine flour and salt, rubbing in the butter until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs (can also be done by hand).
3. Beat the egg and cold water together, then gradually add until the dough comes together.
4. Roll out to about a 13–15 inch circle (or enough to exceed your pie dish).
5. Press into the pan, trim the excess, and crimp the edges.
6. Prick the base with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
7. To blind bake: cover with wax paper, add dry beans to weigh it down, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.

🥚 Filling Ingredients
•2 cups chopped spinach
•6 large eggs
•¾ cup low-fat milk
•Dash salt
•Dash black pepper
•1 cup diced cooked bacon
•1 ½ cups shredded cheese (I used a mix)
•½ cup diced tomatoes
•¼ cup red onion

🥧 Filling & Assembly

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
2. Into the pre-baked crust, layer: spinach → tomatoes → red onion → bacon → 1 cup cheese.
3. Pour the egg mixture over the layers.
4. Top with the remaining ½ cup cheese.
5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes.
6. Test the center with a toothpick — it should come out clean.
7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
