Gluten free Banana, Fig and Apple Pudding

With an abundance of over ripe bananas, uneaten green apples and figs from our brown turkey tree I had to create a recipe quickly to use up these fruits before the fruit flies attacked them. In addition, by creating a pudding from these fruits the kids are more likely to eat this then the fruits itself.

Gluten Free Blood Orange Cake

I love making this blood orange cake in the late winter, when my blood orange trees have experienced the frost and the oranges ripen and become beautifully bloody looking on the inside.

So easy to make and Gluten free, this cake is sure to please everyone.

Nicely Spiced Apple and Gingerbread Bundt Cake

This lovely spiced cake, with pureed apple and a hint of ginger, cinnamon and cloves, wins the heart of my family especially this winter. I like a slice with my cup of tea or coffee and sometimes with some plain Greek yoghurt.

A little higher in calories than other recipes I post, but if you remember your portion sizes and eating mindfully a little slice would not hurt. Also great for portioning up and freezing for another day.

Crunchy Golden Anzac Biscuits

Anzac biscuits have been linked with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. These delicious biscuits were sent by wives, mothers, daughters and women's groups to soldiers overseas as the ingredients did not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.

Mushroom, tomato and cauliflower soup

Homemade mushroom soup, it is not only good for you and tastes delicious but it’s so easy to make.

Health benefits: White and brown vegetables, like mushrooms and cauliflower derive their colour from the phytochemicals called anthoxanthins.

Evidence suggests that anthoxanthins may reduce the risk of stroke, promote heart heath, lower the risk of cancer and reduce inflammation.
