It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...🎄

And I have been feeling super festive!

The Christmas Tree is up... loving the magical Christmas lights ✨

I've been playing Christmas music... and singing along in the car 🎶🎵

Ticking presents off my list... 🎁

And thinking about Christmas lunch! 😋

Thanks to inspiration from Cookie+Kate, I think I have the salads menu sorted.

I've been eyeing off her "Favourite Broccoli Salad" (pictured); with broccoli greens and a splash of red cranberries, it's the perfect statement salad for the festive season.

She also has some beautiful bright beetroot salads that might make the cut too!

Are you looking for ideas for your Christmas lunch menu too?

Take a look at all salad recipes from Cookie+Kate here:

And let me know in the comments what you decide on!

This was just the most beautiful experience 🥰

I felt so welcome, and loved hearing from the mums about different ways they love to nourish their bodies with food!

Thank you Motherhood and Matrescence for having me 🤗

Wowee! I'm still thinking about our guest speaker from 2 weeks ago!

💜Vanessa showed us exactly how the food we eat can impact our mood, energy and sleep. It was the perfect blend of science and strategic tweaks to help us improve our wellbeing without adding more to our to-do list.

It's only 2 weeks after receiving guilt-free food advice – and here's some changes some of the Masterclass Mums have already made to enhance their wellbeing:
-Brand swaps
-Adaptations to the breakfast routine
-Awareness about mindful eating
-Protein layering

Thanks so much Vanessa Moss Nutrition for spoiling us and sharing your wisdom with the Masterclass for Mums.

The best bread in town 🙌

Locally made, freshly baked, so yum! 😋

Were you wondering what's inside these goodie bags? 🤔

🥰 I had such a beautiful time yesterday morning at the Masterclass for Mums!

We spoke about simple ways you can nurture your body with food, to provide busy mums with sustained energy, balanced moods, and better sleep.

Making breakfast the priority was a key takeaway for many mums; starting the day with nourishing food to provide the nutrients your body needs throughout the day.

So this yummy cacao granola from made the perfect addition to the gift bags, a delicious, protein-rich option to kick off the morning right.

The Butter Chicken spice mix from Mingle is another favourite of mine. It's a great example of how easy a wholesome dinner can be; add a few simple ingredients and you’ve got a tasty, nourishing meal the whole family will love.

There’s also a cute snack pack of roasted chickpeas or fava beans — just oil, salt, and lots of crunch. Perfect for those salty afternoon cravings, and they actually keep you satisfied (unlike chips that disappear quickly… and leave you hunting for more).

And finally, a wholesome choc–banana muffin recipe — simple, nutrient-dense, and easy to whip up for the week ahead.

The Masterclass for Mums will continue in Term 1 & 2, 2026. With intimate group sizes, make sure you register your interest to join this beautiful experience ✨

What's on my bookshelf? 📚

I am currently reading...

The Anti-Anxiety Food Solution, by Trudy Scott, Certified Nutritionist.

Drawing on years of professional and personal experience, Trudy translates the science of nutrition into clear, practical advice including:

🍣 What you may need more of in your diet

🍕 What you may need to avoid (sorry! 🙃)

⚖ How to find your balance with portions

🌱 And the role of two beautifully beneficial supplements for anxiety and mental health support — the amino acids GABA and L-Theanine

She also explores how nutritional, hormonal, and lifestyle factors can influence your mental health.

It’s pretty incredible what food can do!
Protein, for example, is the foundation for building brain chemicals that support mood, motivation, sleep, and more.

Nutrition is just one part of the picture when it comes to mental health, but it’s a powerful one ✨

If you’d like to explore how to use food to better support your wellbeing, I’d love to help you get started 🌿

When life is busy and body's need soothing, breakfast is soup and eggs!

Breakfast is usually quite the event for me, a big cook up of eggs with veggies and kale, cooked in ghee, and topped with avocado. Breakfast is my "me time"; sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying a fulfilling meal to start the day ☀️

But this morning I felt like something quick and easy. We've had some mild cold symptoms sneaking in the household, and soup was calling my name!

Heating up a small pot of soup takes literally a few minutes, no more effort than cooking a piece of toast. Homemade is AH-MAZING of course, but if you need a quick grab and go I like the Lazuppa brand. Boiled eggs are just as simple and give me my morning protein dose to fuel me for the day ahead! 😋
