walking lightly on earth
I’m over half way in my second pregnancy (29 weeks). It’s going really well. So far not much has changed. My everyday routine and lifestyle is the same as before I was pregnant. I can still move around fairly easily and there are no complications […]
This morning I added homegrown black currants from the freezer to my smoothie bowl I was making. I topped it with homemade grain free granola. Delicious and a great boost of vitamin C. The smoothie bowl also contains avocado, banana, collagen protein powder, green powder, […]
I felt like “sweetening” this Friday morning with a smoothie bowl and homemade granola.
Blend banana and frozen strawberries, kale, coconut milk, vanilla bean powder, collagen protein powder. I used frozen strawberries and kale from the garden.
The homemade granola is a mix of nuts, seeds and desiccated coconut. Mixed with coconut oil and a little rice malt syrup before roasted in the oven.
I hope our son will enjoy his lunch box today Tomato, cucumber, red capsicum, celery, carrot and olives. The sweeter section contains fresh blueberries, dried goji berries, dried white mulberries and dried apple juice infused cranberries. Most kids love the sweet taste including our son […]
I’ve been making my own gelatine gummies but now I’m also getting my hand into making homemade marshmallows using grass fed gelatine powder. It’s a great way to make nutritious treats but it’s still a treat so only consume these homemade marshmallows occasionally. Stay tuned for […]
Apples for cooking apple sauce to be stored in the freezer.
Apples cored and cut into pieces to be stored in the freezer for smoothies.
The best not bruised apples to be stored whole in a cold but frost free environment.
Picking and collecting apples also involves natural movement using your arms reaching, carrying buckets, squatting and bending down.
Plus it’s a great way to spend time outdoors with your family and friends.

Every year as long as I remember since I was a child, Coprinus comatus mushrooms (also called shaggy ink cap, lawyer’s wig or shaggy mane) have been coming up in my parents lawn every autumn. This year is no exception and one of our favourite […]
Yesterday afternoon, I shared these shots of goodness with my mother. The colour on it’s own brightened up our afternoon 🙂 Generally, I don’t juice much as juicing removes the fibers and the sugars become simple sugars that will affect your blood sugar. I therefore […]
Rosehips are a good source of Vitamin E, K, A and C as well as calcium, magnesium, manganese and dietary finer.
As I wrote in a previous post, rosehip is used for stomach disorders from spasms, acid deficiency, diarrhoea to constipation. And furthermore, overall research suggests that rosehip is beneficial for people with osteoarthritis.
INGREDIENTS
600 g Rosehip (whole with seeds)
1.5 L Water
2 tsp. Vanilla powder
1 cup Honey or rice malt syrup
DIRECTIONS
Soak the rose hips under water mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar in a bowl for a couple of hours or overnight and should there be any insects they’ll come to the surface. To ensure that all the rosehips are being submerged under the water put a plate in the bowl with a heavy object that pushes them all under water.
Put the rosehips in a big pot with the water and bring to boil. When they have boiled for a little while and have become soft, you can use your stick blender and blend them including pureeing the seeds. Add the vanilla powder and boil for about 30 minutes.
Take the pot off the heat to cool until warm but not burning. Strain it through a nutmilk bag or cheese cloth. Add the honey or rice malt syrup to desired sweetness and stir until dissolved.
Store in bottles in the fridge and enjoy this cool and refreshing cordial drink.
ROSEHIP IN APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
The other jar is just whole rosehips in apple cider vinegar which is a easy way to store them. We’ll then through a couple in our morning smoothie and use the vinegar in dressings.
This way we’ll consume the rosehips uncooked and should there be any vitamins and minerals that has leached into the vinegar it won’t be wasted 🙂
