Merry Christmas 🎄

16/12/2025

Spreading holiday cheer without the guilt! We spent the morning in the kitchen, creating a healthier Christmas pudding recipe that's become our family tradition the last few years! We have revised and improved the recipe below to share.

We infused our own custom dried fruit mix (diced small) with the warm, spicy flavours of Chai Tea, adding a unique twist to this classic Christmas dessert ☕️. Using almond meal not only provides a gluten- free approach for more of an autoimmune friendly support but also avoids highly processed flours.

The result is a deliciously moist and flavourful pudding that's perfect for Christmas.

If you want to add a glaze try a little bit of warmed apricot fruit spread and brush over the surface or use a small amount of mild tasting, melted fat such as coconut oil or cocoa butter. 🥥✨️

And to go a bit extra...try melted White Chocolate (such as Pana White Choc Chips for dairy free) drizzled on top and decorated with cherries, dried orange slices or leftover orange zest for a classical look. 🧡

Gluten free naturally! 😉😆🤣

Last week we were busy preparing to cater for the Chapter Thirty One Annual Conference on Saturday. All gluten & dairy free 😋. Was a great day and food went down well 😀.

We have had a lot of requests for cooking workshops, so if you would be interested in attending one (or any other health & wellness event), please follow the link below to register your interest. Only 3 questions required to register, but if you have time to answer the remaining questions (very quick ones), that would help us tailor events to your needs. If you have any other thoughts or requests, please be sure to let us know and we'll see what we can do 😊. We've also had some requests for catering (ie gluten & dairy free etc), so also open to starting discussions in this space...

Dr Dale Bredesen's work with treating Alzheimer's is very interesting and think this doco would be worth watching. He also has a book (available on Kindle) called 'The End Alzheimer's, which is also worth a read.

A new documentary will follow an Alzheimer’s patient who reversed her condition by following a personalized treatment plan of intensive lifestyle changes.

Sound familiar? It might be because one of her doctors was trained in the Bredesen Protocol.

🎯 Our family also gets asked this a lot. Do we feel restricted? No. A common misconception is that all we have left to eat is carrot sticks and lettuce leaves! 🥕🥗. Haha...far from it! 😆. We enjoy our food and so do those we cater for 😋. We also enjoy not being restricted by the health issues, which eating 'normally' once bought with it 😉💪😊.

I get asked this question often. It’s a fair question. But it blows me away that our society has such a perception of deprivation when it comes to foods (and what is called “food” that isn’t).

Is my food lifestyle (high protein, low-carb veggies, a small amount of fruit, and minimal unprocessed carbs) restrictive?! I’m definitely not stopping at the nearest drive through when I’m running errands. I’m not getting a bun with my burger at a restaurant and I pack food before I leave the house most of the time.

But tell me what’s restrictive. I’m 45 years old and have better health and more energy than when I was in my 20’s, even after having six kids.

I can rollerskate for hours and feel great.

I don’t have to drag myself around or deal with health issues that come from a less-restrictive diet.

My hormones and menstrual cycle don’t interfere with my daily living.

I can do tough chores working with my animals and carrying heavy feed bags around.

Physically I am not restricted like most people my age (and even younger).

So is it restrictive the way I eat? Sure. But we choose which way we’ll be restricted. Either we’re restrictive with what we eat or we’re restricted in life physically (and mentally). I’ll take the first one. How about you?

Why it is always a good idea to read the ingredients list...

Recently I had to fly into a supermarket to grab something to share at an impromptu catch-up. Needed to be something gluten and dairy free. Saw this and grabbed it, only to read label later! Although they were quite nice, they're definitely not suitable for someone with a dairy intolerance! 😬 Thankfully, I realised before it was shared. This is why we read labels...usually before purchasing 😉

More inspiration from a couple of clients, who are smashing out some amazing and delicious food, as they support each other through their health goals. GF & DF cooking does require some planning but it definitely doesn't need to be boring or bland 😉😋😊.

Shared with permission:

- Pumpkin soup
- Chia, bircher pots (so delish!)
- Beef stock concentrate
- Homemade gravy
- More Salsa verde (cos were obsessed) drizzled over poached eggs 🤤🤤🤤
- home made mayonnaise
- creamy satay sauce (with cashews, no chilli or paprika 🙌🙌🙌).
- churros crumb
- almond date slice
- raspberry muffins
- more GF/DF wraps (they have been a saviour)"
