This loaf is super tasty and moist as hell. Naturally sweetened by the dates and raisins. A definite recipe to keep in the pantry, and so easy to make. My girls 8 and 10 years old, attempted this all by themselves.

You can have abs and have your dessert too! Especially a healthy high protein dessert that is also dairy free, sugar free, gluten free and low in carbs. Made mostly with pre-soaked nuts of almonds and cashew, and sweetened mostly by dates and maple syrup. It also has spirulina, which adds the fresh green colour to the dessert while packing it with antioxidants and B-vitamins. The chocolate contrasts really well with the mint, making it a decadent yet refreshing protein bar - great for pre ...
Epi 5 Part 2: Snapper Thai Mango Salad
I love Asian food and spices and sometimes find clean eating and salads lacking in the flavours I am familiar with. So this dish, Snapper with Thai Mango Salad proves that we can straddle both the flavours and yet keep this meal sexy, fresh and low carbs. You can always alternate the use of palm sugar with honey or maple syrup or use less of the amount called for. However, the salty, sweet and sour taste of the dressing is in the balance of those ingredients. I am using locally caught snapper ...

Fabrizio Spanish Crumbed Mackerel with Miso Vinaigrette, and Beans Salad
Where we can, I like to support local produce and use locally sustainable seafood. Do you know the local Spanish mackerel has similar content of Omega 3 fatty acids to that of the salmon? Yet its available locally, mostly wild caught and 3-times cheaper than the salmon. For this dish, the Spanish mackerel pairs so well with the bean salad and miso dressing. Flaxseed is high in Omega 3, fiber and protein! When grounded, its a better alternative to using plain flour. It ...
Flo’s Beer, Orange & Organic Honey Chicken
Florence, mum of 3 from Melaya Honey takes a very ordinary chicken breast, massaged and dressed it to make it attention grabbing! All done with only 6 ingredients and before long, you have breast you want to eat and savour!
A lot of Asian shun away from breast meat thinking its too dry for their liking. But breast is a healthy part of the chicken as it contains little fat. To minimise the meat getting dry and tough - try this recipe with the beer marinade, and cooking it whole and just ...
