Sharing a humble homemade baked beans on toast rec Sharing a humble homemade baked beans on toast recipe tonight. Beans have got to be one of the best things I’ve added to my diet. I struggled digesting beans for years but slowly added them in over time. I genuinely feel so much better after learning to incorporate beans into my meals consistently. Beans are a very high source of fibre and contain beneficial lignans (not lectins) fibre and lignans assist the estrobolome in the gut ( the specific subset of bacteria that deal with estrogen) to excrete estrogen out of the body. So important for anyone suffering from estrogen dominance or excess ( which is most of us, even if you have low estrogen) I have two posts on estrogen dominance coming soon. 

1x 400g can berlotti or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 brown onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 cup passata sauce
1 tsp dried Italian herbs
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Sourdough bread of choice to serve
Method
Dice onion and fry in a little olive oil until translucent and starting to brown.
Add garlic and fry for a few seconds until fragrant
Add drained and rinsed beans, mix through passata sauce and bring to a simmer
Add dried herbs, salt, and pepper and maple syrup (to cut acidity). Mix and serve over sourdough bread. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Craving some of this chocolate mousse cake to help Craving some of this chocolate mousse cake to help me deal with the stress of our rental inspection tomorrow. I don’t know why these stress me so much. Had some bad experiences when I first moved out of home years ago and since then I have found them difficult! These year we hired cleaners to help and it’s been the easiest ever! Def doing it again next time !

BASE:
1 cup walnuts
1 cup almonds
3 TBSP maple syrup
2 TBSP coconut oil
2 TBSP cacao powder
FILLING:
1½ cups cashews ( soaked for at least 3-4 hour or overnight)
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup cacao powder
1 packet organic silken tofu
1 banana
¼ cup almond milk
1 TBSP almond butter
TOPPING:
Melted dark chocolate. I used 80%
chopped strawberries
Method
For the base: break down the walnuts and almonds in a food processor. Add the rest of the base ingredients and blitz again until sticky and crumbly.
Press down on to the base of desired cake tin and set aside
For the filling add all the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add more almond milk if mixture is too thick
Pour over base and set in the freezer for 3-4 hours
Once set, melt down some dark chocolate in a saucepean over low heat and spread over the cake with a spatula
Add chopped strawberries and enjoy
Should be stored in the freezer or eaten in 1-2 days if stored in the fridge
Bringing some savoury to my feed with this tomato Bringing some savoury to my feed with this tomato brown rice and buckwheat risotto. The humble tomato is in my opinion a top fertility food! Tomatoes are powerful for improving egg quality in women due to the high amount of vitamin c, lycopene and melatonin. All of these compounds act as antioxidants in the body, helping to reduce oxidative stress and slow down ovarian aging. Vitamin c is also crucial for our adrenal glands to help us deal with stress and very effective at boosting progesterone levels too! I love tomatoes! I eat a lot of them ( almost daily)

1 cup precooked brown rice
½ cup precooked plain buckwheat
1 brown onion
2-3 cloves garlic- crushed
1 punnet cherry tomatoes - roasted
½ cup passata sauce
½ cup liquid veggie stock
salt and pepper to taste
small handful chopped basil
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
extra virgin olive oil for frying
Method
Half cherry tomatoes and place them cut side up on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper and roast in oven at 200 C for about 15 minutes until soft and blistered.
Dice onion and fry in a little olive oil until translucent add crushed garlic and fry a few more seconds until garlic becomes fragrant.
Add cooked rice and buckwheat to the pan, slowly add a little liquid stock a little at a time, while mixing until the risotto has reached a desired consistency
MIx through the roasted cherry tomatoes
Add a little passata sauce and mix through, add maple syrup to cut some of the acidity and mix again
Finally, mix through chopped basil, adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
Garnish with extra basil and serve with vegan parmesan cheese

CHOCOLATE ICING:
2 TBSP avocado oil

Ultra rich chocolatey pomegranate tart. Recipe wil Ultra rich chocolatey pomegranate tart. Recipe will be coming a little later this week.  Pomegranates are said to be one of the top fertility foods. They are full of antioxidants and are said to help increase blood flow to the uterus and improve sperm quality and motility in men. Pomegranate juice is also said to boost progesterone. I’m actually not the biggest fan of pomegranate juice.. I tend to drink it for the health benefits , not that taste but that’s why we can hide it in a raw chocolate dessert like this! Recipe coming soon.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve uploaded It’s been a very long time since I’ve uploaded a hormone health article. I’ve been prioritising getting through my uni and just haven’t had the chance to write. Here is a follow up article on my last article about fats for women’s hormones. I wanted to write this article because I’m seeing a lot of conflicting advice in the hormone space about fats. Some are pushing lots of polyunsaturated fats with seed cycling and others say polyunsaturated fats are highly inflammatory and should be avoided. I’ve done my best to go through the literature and present what the science has to say to the best of my ability. Most of the research on fats and hormones is done in the fertility area so you will see me refer to that a lot. In my eyes hormones and fertility are one and the same even if you don’t intend to get pregnant and are just trying to balance hormones to feel good. My intention here was to help sort through some of the information. I genuinely hope I haven’t added to the confusion haha. If you are interested, link is in bio 💛
Did you catch the recipe for this very rich malted Did you catch the recipe for this very rich malted pecan fudge cake ? It’s made with @saundersmalt barley malt syrup which is an amazing source of b vitamins including vitamin b12. I’ve been seeing a bit of talk lately about not needing to supplement with b12 due to the gut being able to synthesise b12. I’ve been asked to talk about b12 a few times in the past but I’m not an expert and haven’t had the time to research properly . From what I know yes you can synthesise b12 in the gut but it happens too far down the colon to be absorbed in the body, so plant based people still absolutely need to supplement. I get my b12 from my whole food b complex and phytoplankton daily and bits and pieces from foods like barley malt and nutritional yeast on occasion. Here is the recipe :

Base: 
1 3/4 cups pecans 
1/4 cup goji berries 
1 tbsp Saunders Malt extract 
1/4 cup hemp seeds 
1 tbsp cacao powder 
Filling:
1 1/2 cups nut butter of choice 
8 tbsp cacao butter 
7 tbsp Saunders Malt extract 
6 tbsp plant milk of choice 
Toppings:
1 cup pecans 
2-3 tsp Saunders Malt extract 
Pinch sea salt 

For the base, process all of the ingredients in a food processor until sticky. Pressed down tightly into the base of a round baking tin and set aside. For the filling melt down the cocoa butter over low heat on the stove until melted, add all of the other filling ingredients and mix well to incorporate. Remove from heat and pour over base. Place in the freezer to set for 2 to 3 hours. Line a baking tray with baking paper, place pecans on top and drizzle with Saunders Malte and salt. Roast for 10 minutes at 180°C and decorate on top of cake
Realising that mango season is pretty much over an Realising that mango season is pretty much over and colder months will role in soon, gotta make the most of the last few mangos still available in stores and make this vegan mango jelly tart. I’ve really grown to like agar recently, but it took me a bit of practice to get the hang of it. Now I have a bit if a feel for how agar works I like using it in lots of things. Did you know agar comes from seaweed ? As such agar is actuality a great source of iodine! Iodine is a common deficiency no matter your diet choices and is especially important in pregnancy when iodine needs go up. Iodine is needed for healthy thyroid function and to help improve breast tenderness, too much iodine isn’t a good idea so it’s good to be smart but currently most people fall very short of rdi for iodine (myself included but I’m working on it) 

BASE:
2 cups wholemeal baby biscuits (or biscuits of choice) 
⅓ cup desiccated coconut
1½ tsp ground ginger
2 TBSP coconut oil
1 cup quick oats
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
FILLING:

I’m one of those mums that can’t concentrate on anything when her kid is sick so we didn’t end up doing much but I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and enjoy the long weekend. Here are some chocolate Easter eggs we made by melting down @picochocolate 85% and filling them with @pana_organic cashew caramel spread. Crazy good and indulgent!

Might be time for me to share some Easter recipes! Might be time for me to share some Easter recipes! Easter always sneaks up on me and the date keeps changing! I can’t keep up! Sheet pan carrot cake with yogurt frosting, complete with fake plastic carrots for looks 😆 This month I’ve decided to try the raw carrot challenge in my luteal phase (where you eat 1 raw carrot a day) carrots have special soluble fibres in them that bind to estrogen in the gut and remove it from the body. Helps with pms 👏 I’ve not tried it but so many women have amazing results just from eating a carrot! 😅 can’t say this carrot cake will have the same effect but it is absolutely delicious. 

2¼ cups wholemeal spelt flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
Pinch salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup almond milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup coconut sugar
½ cup grape seed oil
2 cups grated carrots, medium-packed
FROSTING:
Vegan coconut yogurt and chopped walnuts.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 C and lightly grease a slice baking tray.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, vanilla and oil.
Mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients.
Fold in the carrots and stir until just combined.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once cooled dollop and spread some coconut yogurt and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
As you all know I have a lot less time to dedicate As you all know I have a lot less time to dedicate to my blog as I’d like, only the recipes that impress me the most make it on the blog, the rest I usually just share on here. These vegan air fried chickpea nuggets really impressed me! The texture was amazing: soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Made in the @ninjakitchenapac dual zone air fryer (swipe) . I get lots of questions about air fryers in my DMs, it seems everyone is looking to purchase an air fryer lately, this air fryer is quite large so you need to kitchen space for it but I really think it’s the best on the market. Can’t fault how great the texture turns out! Plus it has many other functions too.  Have a video reel recipe for these further down my feed and the blog recipe is on my website now. Link is in bio 💛

Hi guys, I think it’s time I reshare the recipe Hi guys, I think it’s time I reshare the recipe to this healthier vegan banoffee again, it is by far my most recreated recipe from the blog. I get people ask me where to find it all the time so here it is! You can also find it on my blog, just type banoffee in the search bar. 

CRUST:
3 cups blanched almond meal
1 cup quick or rolled oats or sub quinoa flakes for gf
6 TBSP grapeseed oil or other neutral oil 
6 TBSP maple syrup
FILLING:
1½ cups pitted dates
3 TBSP almond butter
pinch salt
½ cup @pureharvest almond milk
drop vanilla extract
TOPPINGS:
3 sliced bananas
coconut whipped cream
dark chocolate shavings
Method
For the crust: mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined and slightly sticky
press evenly onto the base and sides of a round tart tin.
Bake in the oven at 180 C for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden looking. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
For the filling: Add all the ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. You can add more almond milk if you like your caramel runnier, or less if you like it very thick.
Spoon out caramel and spread evenly over baked crust with a spatula. Remove from tart tin at this stage and set aside.
For the coconut cream: Place a can of coconut cream in the fridge for a few hours or overnight ( if it is cold where you live you do not have to do this). Scoop out the cream ( not the water) and place in a bowl, with a hand mixer mix until the cream becomes whipped and fluffy, Coconut cream is slightly sweet already but if you want to make it sweeter you can add 1-2 TBSP maple syrup to the cream while you are beating it and some vanilla extract. This dessert is quite sweet so you can omit the natural sweetener if you like.
Slice bananas into thick coins, add 1 layer of banana slices on top of the caramel, the scoop out coconut cream, add another layer of banana slices and top with some dark chocolate shavings. Slice and Enjoy

I feel like I’ve been more quiet on here than us I feel like I’ve been more quiet on here than usual. We have a bit of stuff going on. Just trying to get on top of things! Here is a sneak peak at a new recipe. Coconut paw paw jelly slice. Unfortunately I won’t be sharing the recipe for this because it’s one I want to keep for my cycle syncing plant based hormone ebook (I don’t know what I’m calling it yet) paw paw is a great ovulation food! Because it helps to lower histamine (the allergy response) which gets higher when estrogen is at its highest. I’ve been one to suffer with hey fever and dust allergies most of my life, as of recently I’ve noticed that my allergies have actually mostly gone away ? The only time I notice my allergies coming back as at ovulation which I think is fascinating!  Paw paw is also wonderful for digestion as it can help flush out the excess estrogen once the body is done with it. I also thing paw paw is a great constipation relieving food in pregnancy! I had a friend of mine tell me to eat paw paw in pregnancy and I never got constipated once. Ebook will be out later this year. Hope you enjoy the sneak peak. 💛
