  • Chocolate Avocado Brownie

    by Julie Bhosale
    Food is my love language and my latest creation has been made with just that, a lot of love....plus a few of my all time favourite ingredients, coconut oil, avocado, walnuts. This recipe only uses a bit of honey for some sweetness so go on, treat yourself (I licked the spoon and the bowl!).

    Ingredients:


    2 ripe avocados


    1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips


    2 tbs of coconut oil


    2 tbs coconut flour


    1/4 cup of...

    Valentines Day is coming up! I know that it is super commercialised now but hey in the busyness of life, especially with children, it does not hurt to have a decent excuse to put some time into those that you love, especially your partner.

    I actually created this recipe when Smushie was a newborn and I was often up late at night feeding him....little monkey still likes a middle of the night feed!

  • Coconut and Date Truffles

    by Julie Bhosale
    Truffles hmmmm say no more!! This latest creation of mine is just in time for Christmas and makes a great alternative to the normal high sugar, low nutrient truffles - to be honest they taste like mini mouthfuls of Snickers Bars and make for a great bliss ball snack too - without all the refined sugar!!

  • Simple Coconut Flour Cookies

    by Julie Bhosale
    My latest baking experiment is soooo simple to make, and only uses a little bit of honey for sweetness.

    These cookies are made from coconut flour. Coconut flour is made from coconut solids which have been ground into a very fine powder. This product is increasingly being sold in health food shops and your local supermarkets. It is a great gluten-free alternative to normal flour.

    These little...

  • Apricot Coconut and Nut Balls

    by Julie Bhosale
    I got the creative urge this afternoon to experiment in the kitchen. So I got together a few ingredients with the idea of coming up with a new snack that provided a good source of protein and essential fatty acids....Master 2 was happy playing with his new toy truck we sourced from a toy hire place so I grabbed the few precious minutes I would have spare and as you can see the end result is pretty...

  • Super Simple Banana Muffins

    by Julie Bhosale
    We were out of our supply of snacks so this morning I whipped up these super simple banana muffins. When I say this morning it was more like crack of dawn as Arjun was awake at 5.30am this morning - so what better activity on a cold, dark morning than to do some baking together. Well, I mainly did the mixing while Arjun watched with his lions and books but he was still involved :)

  • Guilt-Free Chocolate Cake

    by Julie Bhosale
    Cake is one of my weaknesses (we all have them) and this is a recipe I created after desperately searching for an easychocolate cake recipe that was not laden with flour and refined sugar but also had everyday ingredients - and being frustrated that I could not find anything. I would still call this a treat but this one you do not need to feel guilty about as it is grain-free, refined sugar free...

  • Chocolate Coconut Balls!

    by Julie Bhosale
    Created this recipe when I was looking for a treat to make for a mummy’s movie night in with one of my MBFFS (mummys best friends forever). So I whipped up these chocolate morsels – which are free of refined sugar, gluten and dairy. I had a child begging for dinner at the time so these literally took five minutes. They look so good I thought it would mean not to share the recipe with all of you!
