I’m so excited to share the news that I’m pregnant!! I’m only halfway through but I’ve had quite a few questions about eating and exercise with a bub on board, so I thought I’d share my journey so far.

Chickpea-less spiced pumpkin hummus
My mother-in-law made a version of this (using carrots instead of the pumpkin) for Christmas and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE chickpeas but this spiced-up, cauliflower version is a light and delicious change. This hummus gets better with time so if you can make it the day before, the flavors will have time to develop. … [Read more...] about Chickpea-less spiced pumpkin hummus

The easiest peach, white chocolate and macadamia tartlets
It felt so strange being in London in the lead up to Christmas. It was pitch black at 4 pm and the sun barely bothered to rise all day. To say that I was excited about coming back to Australia is an understatement. While the Christmas lights on Oxford Street and intricate window displays at Liberty’s were charming and quaint, something didn’t feel … [Read more...] about The easiest peach, white chocolate and macadamia tartlets
