Oven-baked rice croquettes with plum sauce You will need: 1 small head cauliflower 3 medium barbosa onions (new season onions with a sweeter flavour) 2 garlic cloves 1/4 cup onion greens, chopped 2 fresh sage leaves small bunch of flat leaves parsley 1 green banana 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 heaped tbsp coconut flour a good pinch of Himalayan rock salt (optional) 1. Rinse and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Put the cauli florets into a blender fitted with an S-blade and process into rice-like crumbs. I usually grind them in 3 or 4 batches, this helps to get even crumbs. 2. Transfer the cauli rice into a mixing bowl, add finely chopped barbosa onions and garlic (you can chop the onions and garlic in the blender, or process into a paste), chopped onion greens, sage leaves, parsley leaves. Combine. 3. Mash the green banana with a fork into a gooey paste. Mix to the cauliflower rice, add the coconut flour, some salt (if using) and drizzle with the melted coconut oil. Mix thoroughly. 4. Take 1 heaped tbsp out of the croquette base and between you palms form it into a cylindrical shape. Use up all the mix. 5. Arrange the raw croquettes on a baking tray (I used my pyrex baking tray, no baking paper, no greasing) and put the tray into a preheated oven and bake on 175 C for 30 to 35 mins. 6. Take the tray out of the oven and let the croquettes rest undisturbed for 5 to 7 mins. 7. Serve the still warm croquettes with freshly chopped onion greens and warmed plum sauce. Enojoy!

It’s savory, sweet, and full of complementary textures. Usually I don’t ...

An impressive side dish This dish does not need an intro why I like it. My 4YO would eat the whole thing and this says it all, I think. You will need (serves 4): 1 large cauliflower 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt 4 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp dried rosemary 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried marjoram 1/2 tsp turmeric pinch of ground cinnamon onion greens, to serve 1. Rinse the cauliflower and cut off all the leaves and leaf endings. 2. In a large pot boil plenty of filtered water. Add the salt and place the cauli head upside down. Reduce the heat to gentle simmering and cook for 10 to 12 mins. 3. Melt the coconut oil, stir in the turmeric and the rest of the seasoning: rosemary, oregano, marjoram and ground cinnamon. 4. Carefully lift out the cauliflower and put (base down) into a round pyrex. Drizzle with the seasoned coconut oil and put the dish into a preheated oven and roast on 165 C for about 45 mins. 5. Serve onto a plate and sprinkle with finely chopped onion greens. Enjoy! Tips: Drizzle with a little olive oil if you like. I have served the fried cauli with chicken liver, simply fried on onions in duck fat, and seasoned only with ginger and parsley.

Last year I spent some time researching juicers because I wanted to incorporate juices in to my diet. After much time researching I finally decided on one. I picked up some veggies on the way home and then immediately started making a drink. I was used to drinking them and really didn’t think much about how “green” it tasted. However, the first time I gave my husband one he took a sip and looked at me as if I was trying to murder him or something. Needless to say, some people need to get used to drinking greens in a juice. It got me thinking a lot about ways to use my juicer to make juices for people who weren’t used to them and also for entertaining. I wanted people to see that healthy foods can be fun and festive too! This juice recipe is really inspired by things I have been getting from the farmer’s market lately and also inspired by bold fall flavors. It is a great blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy. All the flavors really balance each other and you don’t get an overwhelming kale taste for those who maybe don’t like the flavor as much. Topping the juice with some club soda not only gives the juice a festive spritz but also leaves a very refreshing taste on your pallet! Feel free to adjust anything according to taste!

Finding the right foods to boost your immune system can be a little overwhelming due to the fact that there are so many claims being made all over the internet as to what can help. But there is no need to feel defeated because today I'm sharing the top 10 foods to boost your immune system. Oh and PS - 5 foods to avoid. It's time to get your immune system in tip-top shape.

Winter is the season of never-ending colds and flus. I know how it is to have back to back colds that jump from kid to kid in your home. It can feel impossible to make plans with family or friends because you’re fearful of getting them sick. However, it’s not completely out of your control. There are many different ways that you can strengthen your family’s immune system and arm yourself to be more resilient. We know that our diet has a huge impact on our immune function alongside our health as a whole, so a logical place to start is with the foods you’re consuming. Focusing on a whole food diet, including primarily unprocessed foods is very important, especially in peak cold and flu season. Exercise, the amount of water we drink, and our stress levels also have huge impacts on our immune health. If you need some simple tips to keep your body strong this season (and all year long!), you’re in the right place. Here’s where to start: Reduce Sugar The first and easiest way to give your immune system a boost is to reduce your sugar intake. Studies have shown that your white blood cells are not able to fight off infections as easily when they’re inundated with high amounts of sugar. In diabetics, having high blood sugar is linked to immune system malfunctioning and can cause infection. While the immune system needs glucose (sugar) to function properly, excessive amounts lead to pro-inflammatory cytokines production, which is a fancy way of saying cells that cause inflammation in your body (and therefore ruin immune functioning). To put all of this in perspective, a cupcake has around 45 grams of sugar. Thinking back to your most recent holiday or birthday event, how many treats did you eat on average? The American Heart Association recommends less than 36 grams of sugar a day for men and less than 24 grams a day for women. Those numbers might feel intimidating, but don’t let it get to you. Enjoy your treats in moderation. The key is to focus on your overall health, not just a single day. This may look like cutting sugars in the week leading up to an event or occasion where you know you may consume high amounts of treats. It may also look like choosing low sugar hot chocolate for your nighttime sipping (check out our recipe!), or going for the plain yogurt with fresh fruit rather than the sweetened strawberry yogurt for your breakfast. For your kids, be sure to pay attention to labels and look for hidden sugars. Oftentimes “fruit juice concentrate” is used to add sugar to kids’ drinks and snacks while keeping the label that claims “no added sugar.” Plus, watch out for added sugars in packaged foods like pasta sauce, jelly, or peanut butter. Increase Fruits and Vegetables Upping your fruit and vegetable intake increases the amount of bioavailable nutrients that are essential for immune functioning. Vitamin A, commonly found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers, is known for its ability to help with eye sight, but its effects on the immune system are equally important. These compounds impact immune function and cell growth, which are both essential for fighting off viruses and bacteria. Fruits and vegetables also have antioxidant properties which help alleviate the body of oxidative stress, and allow for better immune functioning. Beta-Carotene is another important nutrient found in leafy greens and sweet potatoes that increases the amount of disease fighting cells in the body. Are you eager to add more of these to your diet yet? Adding more fruits and vegetables to your meals doesn’t have to be complicated. During your next dinner, try replacing one of your rolls with an extra serving of vegetables. If you like smoothies even in cold weather, adding frozen kale or spinach to it can increase your veggies without you even noticing. This lasagna recipe is packed with spinach and is the perfect dish to bring to your next potluck. Bonus, your kids will LOVE it. Another great way to increase fruit intake in kids is to try freeze some dried fruit for a special treat or add things like shredded carrots to pancake or muffin mix. Making a yummy dip can also keep kids eating vegetables. Increase Fiber and Improve Gut Health Fiber is one of the most overlooked yet incredibly important components to our diet. Studies show that a fiber rich diet early in life can help the immune system fight infections throughout life. Dietary fiber, probiotics, and probiotics are all essential to help our bodies function to their full potential. These parts of our diet control our gut health which has a huge impact on our immune system. Research has been growing about gut health and its function alongside our immune systems. The “good” bacteria that are present in the gut are actually key to fighting off viruses and “bad” bacteria that enters the body. There are a number of ways that our gut health is influenced by our habits and diet. Taking antibiotics can kill the good bacteria in your digestive system and throw off your whole immune system. In general, it’s best not to hop on over to urgent care and get antibiotics every time your kid comes home with a cold. You actually could be harming their immune systems by flooding them with unnecessary antibiotics that will affect their future gut health. Some easy ways to increase fiber is just as simple as adding fruits and vegetables, as these are both very high in fibers. Another great way to help your gut health is to eat more plain yogurt that has millions of live and active cultures—be sure to look for yogurt with low sugars though. There are also over the counter pre- and probiotics that are available if you find yourself struggling to add more through your diet. Limit Alcohol Heavy drinking is associated with increased bacterial and viral infections. Alcohol affects the cells in our body and can hinder immune functioning, so it’s best to avoid these drinks if you’re trying to stay healthy. One example of this is the way that alcohol disturbs immune cells and special hairs in the lungs that are designed to clear pathogens and other foreign particles from the airway. It also can affect our gut health, which as we just learned, is vital to immune function. While you might not want to cut alcohol out of your life altogether, try to say no to that second glass of wine at dinner and do your best to avoid mixed (sugary!) drinks. Exercise (in the Sun!) Studies show that exercise plays a huge role in our overall health, but it also offers up tons of benefits to our immune system specifically. Exercise can regulate the way that immune cells grow and function in our body. Our immune system is essentially triggered and bolstered when we exercise, so a consistent regimen can reduce the risk of certain illnesses. Vitamin D is another essential component to our immune functioning. Deficiency in Vitamin D is linked to immunosuppression and increased bacterial infections. It’s estimated that around 41% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D, making this a huge part of illness in the U.S. The recommended daily amount of Vitamin D is 600 IU, which can be met through a mix of diet and sunshine. Deficiency in Vitamin D can also lead to problems with the absorption of different vitamins and minerals that are key for immune functioning. While there are many foods that contain Vitamin D, the most bioavailable form of Vitamin D actually comes from the sun. An easy way to incorporate more exercise into your life while reaping the benefits from the sun is to invite your family out for a hike or walk after lunch. Volunteer to watch your kids outside while they play football or answer some emails while sitting on your back patio. Small changes like this add up! Get Quality Sleep and Try to Avoid Stress Quality of sleep and its relation to immune system functioning is pretty easy to see in your life. It seems like every time you get less than your normal night of sleep, you wake up with a running nose or achey body. Our bodies need rest in order to repair cells and prevent and heal from illness. When we do not get enough sleep, we cause our immune cells to struggle to reproduce and function they way that they should. Chronic lack of sleep is also linked to certain illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. These will ultimately impact your immune system too! Research shows that increased stress also leads to a weakened immune system. When our bodies are in crisis mode or under high pressure our essential functions are put off to protect other areas and immune functioning is weakened. I know there are an array of factors that can make it difficult to sleep—whether you tend to stay up late finishing work or wake up every other hour to take care of a newborn. If you need extra support in the sleep department, I have a whole post on improving your Z’s that can be found here. Remember to power down your electronic devices an hour before bed and avoid sleep aids. Getting the proper amount of sleep will also help you reduce stress so it’s a win-win. The winter season doesn’t have to be a stressful time riddled with illness. By making a few simple changes to your diet and lifestyle, you can give your whole family the immune system boost needed to keep your days joyful.
