Who doesn't love a great hamburger. When someone goes GF it's the food like hamburgers that are really missed, especially if you are young. Here is an easy recipe that even kids can make. It makes 4 and you can freeze them.

These wraps are made with your favourite fillings and there is also a recipe for gluten free wrap's that are soft like a crepe and holds a load of filling and sauce.

Healthy and easy to make using only one flour - Buckwheat flour. High in protein and much more. Dont worry about the cracks, it is just how it is.

Gluten free and amazing. This is so delicious. 

After my delicious lunch at the ''Soulfood Cafe '' in Wanaka, I have been inspired to make  Quesadilla with adzuki beans. 

We all love the  smell of fresh bread coming out of the oven, but this is not just any bread, it is gluten free. I slice and freeze it.

Here is a recipe that would suit someone that is dairy free, but most people I know eat this yogurt because they love the flavour. Which is why I love to make it, but of course the main reason is, It is fantastic for your, GUT FLORA.

Healthy Gut Healthy life :)

I love these light crepes, they are really filling unlike a crepe made with white flour.

Buying Muesli can be really expensive. Making it is so easy. You really use ingredients you can afford. You can change my recipe by taking away ingredients or adding others. There is no real measurements here. You just need enough sweetener and coconut oil which will give it that extra taste and helps with the toasting. No processed sugar or fructose here.

This is a gluten free Granola that can be used to top hot fruit as a crumble, a breakfast with your choice of milk or a snack.

Forget the white flour  and try Buckwheat flour, it is a gluten-free, which is related to the rhubarb and sorrel. It is rich in protein and dietary fibre.  One serving of 100 gr gives your 13.30 gr of protein. They are as you can imagine, very filling.  

Making homemade yogurt without using a sachet with flavouring will save you money and is so much more heathy for you.

Throw out the coffee and start your day with what your body is really graving for. Smoothies are not complicated to make. 

Another '' go to '' gluten free recipe. Made up and kept in the fridge. Great after school snack for hungry kids, but also a great way to start your day.

This is my favourite treat at the end of a day. Creamy texture of coconut milk and the little chia seeds with berries. Yum, this is so good.

Try new flavours with your beef and place on top of your salad. Make your meals exciting and fun.

It is hard to find a peanut butter that has no added salt, bad oils or sugar in it. If you do it can often be expensive. I make my own. It is quick and easy. The only important part is, you need a blender that is at least 1500 watts or more. I add extra virgin olive oil into mine because I seem to only be able to buy peanuts with their shells on. (making it a little more, drier when making ) I am not going to remove the shells so adding the oil give the butter a smooth texture.

Here is a dip that can be used with raw vegetable sticks or like I have added below, roast vegetable salad.

Artichoke Hearts -  I used a jar of quartered and Marinated Hearts. I remove the water and because it was slightly salty and had herbs added, I did not need to add this.

Nutrition in Artichoke Hearts - It has a good source of Niacin, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and copper. It also has a really good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, K and Folate and Manganese.

This is the dip that I love to use with a roast vegetable salad.It is creamy and full of flavour.

Dip some gluten free bread or any other healthy bread into your favourite Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then into the Dukkah dip. It is cheap and very very easy to make.

Sumac - is a dried fruit of the Sumac Spice. It can be used with fish or in marinades for meat. You can also use it instead of lemon or vinegar. Sumac means Red.

Nutrition - Sumac is an anti fungal, anti microbial, anti oxidant and anti inflammatory.

A creamy curd to spread on your bread without the processed sugar.

If you have quit sugar and need an alternative, here is a nice spread that is filling and not complicated.

Use on bread, crackers or tortilla wedges that have been baked.

If you love beetroot you will love this relish. The colour alone is exciting and vibrant. I love eating it on beetroot hummus. Using Apple Cider Vinegar for this recipes gives it a large amount of health benifits.

This is my ''go to dressing'' So refreshing and so good for you. I love it on tomatoes, salads, fish and beans.

Delicious summer drink that is great for your health.

Water Kefir - Probiotic in a glass. (good bacteria) This grain is a translucent gelatinous, and is comprised of a bacteria including lactobacillus hilgardite. These grains multiply and you can share them with your friends.

A healthy gut is so important for your over all health. Signs of sickness are usually a sign of, an unhealthy gut. 

Yes It does have sugar add to it. But - the kefir consumes the sugar, the end result is not a sugary drink. The sugar is needed, for fermentation, (don't use coconut sugar) resulting in beneficial acids, B vitamins and food enzymes.

Who does not love the taste of a rich chocolate pudding, an old favourite recipe from my childhood but don't tell mum, this is a little better :)

This vegetable stack is fun to make and takes so healthy. If you have not cooked lentils before this is a great recipe to start with.

For a ''meatless meal ''This colourful meal is nearly all from my garden. I have added white beans because they are loaded with protein, vitamins, omega fatty acid 3, and minerals.

Home-made corn fritters for a light lunch is the best. The option of gluten free and no added process sugar. Flavoured with fresh herbs and light and fluffly because of beaten egg whites.

This is a salad full of nutrition. Great if you are in need of an anti-inflammatory it is high in Omega- 3 fatty acid as well loads more benefits. Easy to make and can be use as a sandwich spread or as is.

Need to take lunch to school or work. This is a fresh clean way to take your lunch. Make any type of salad, place in jars, without the dressing and place in the fridge for the next few days. Fun and easy to eat. Dressing can be taken in a separate little jar.

These wraps are made with your favourite fillings and there is also a recipe for gluten free wrap's that are soft like a crepe and holds a load of filling and sauce.

How can I ever enjoy white rice sushi again. Using sticky black rice that has more antioxidants than blueberries, great for your heart and so much more. Honestly it tastes fantastic.

Making your own gluten free tortilla's is so easy, and filling them with what ever vegetables are in season.

Polenta is so easy to make. Mushroom are full of nutrution. This is a great family meal.

After my delicious lunch at the ''Soulfood Cafe '' in Wanaka, I have been inspired to make  Quesadilla with adzuki beans. 

Sushi is a favourite with most people. A healthier option of brown rice used in Sushi, has become very popular. 

If you grow courgettes, you become desperate for different ways of using them. They are so easy to grow and seem to never stop, that is until the frosts come. These fritters may not look like a meal from a fine dinning resturant but they sure taste great.

A vegetarian meal packed with protein and loads more nutrition. Quinoa and brown rice go so well together. Left overs for lunch the next day, well this is a must.

I love a simple curry, without too much hassle sometimes and this sure is one of those. Creamy, but dairy free, and for a Winter meal, it is so good.

If you need a fun meal to share with family and friends this is the one. All the dishes are on the table and you all just need to make your own. No stress, easy meal, and did I say healthy, well of course it is :)

I love my recipe for the wraps. I have used it a lot on realfoodnow.nz. In summer I would keep the mixture for two days in the fridge and fry them up fresh. You can freeze them but it is not quite the same.

Easy to make and loaded with flavour. Served with fried quinoa, brown and black rice and bok choy.

I love cooking a chicken this way. In the past I have used a slow cooker, but I find the chicken nicer this way. The flavour is really intense and the small amount of liquid that comes from the chicken is delicious poured over the chicken once it is cut into pieces.

Fried crunchy chicken drum sticks with potato wedges and roasted vegetables. Served up on a wooden board topped with sour cream and sprinkled with smoked paprika.

I love cooking this meal. The mixing and cooking is done in the same roasting dish. Place it in the oven and walk away. So easy and tastes great.

A sticky sweet chicken dish everyone will love. Prepare in the morning and cook it just before serving.

A good hearty, winter meal.

I love Moroccan cuisine. This recipe is absolutely delicious. Shock your family and try something new. You don't have to use meat in this dish.

A meal full of nutrition. This is a very quick and easy recipe.

Who does not love Winter and crockpot meals. Throwing all your ingredients into a crockpot and then going out for the day, come home, and it smells like MAMA'S been in the kitchen all day.

I will be sharing a lot of recipes for the crock pot. Time to stop working so hard in the kitchen. If you don't have a crockpot, just go and buy one. I usually cook on low for the longer period of time, just in case I get caught up in town for longer.

Freezer - A large freezer should be one of your best friends in Winter. When you are having a ''feel like staying in the kitchen day'' Prepare a whole lot of RAW crockpot meals and place them in a freezer. The night before you just, take out a RAW meal and thaw overnight and then tip it into the crockpot and turn it on.

Lasagne without the pasta ?

- When you feel like a lasagne but don't have any sheets of pasta and you have run out of flour to make pasta.

- When you don't want any gluten in your meal because you have already had bread today.

or when you have heaps of marrows / courgettes in your garden and tired of eating Ratatouille.

Well, this is the meal for you.

These tastie Krofta's are delicious with mint, parsley, cumin and allspice. Lamb mince is normally use but I have used beef mince. We made burgers with them and took them down to the lake for a family picture.

Wagyu Bavette Steak is a French cut from the flap off the T-bone. Wagyu is a marbled steak that is loaded with flavour. Polenta chips are a fun and easy option for a meal. I served this meal with brocilli, baked tomatoes, grilled aspragus and sour cream and chives.

No more boiling your brussel sprouts, It is roast or raw. (I never eaten them raw) I usually just roast them with a little coconut oil and season, but I have found a chorizo sausage that has natural flavouring instead of the orange colour that is soooo bad for you.

A slow-cooked beef and vegetable meal. Rich in flavour and texture. Easy and delelious.

If you love meat, you will love meatballs, especially kids. I have used tin tomatoes, the trouble when using acid tomatoes is they need to be sweetened. I will be growing acid-free tomatoes this summer. I have used a grated apple and sticks of carrots to do this. This meal is so quick to make. I cooked rice noodles to go with it and stir-fried bok choy.

A slow cooked meal using shin beef, with a base of vegetables. Eaten with pasta this is so good.

Sometimes we just need to be a little creative and surprise your family with your meals. This meal is really delicious and full of flavour.

This is a middle Eastern salad. High in Nutrients because of the chickpeas, black beans and apple cider vinegar ( this vinegar turns into an alkaline once digested.)

I used a mixture of Quinoa, Brown Rice and Black Rice.

Quinoa is pronounced Keen- wah . It is '' the mother of all grains '' so the Inca Empire have said. It comes in three colours - red, black and white.

Brown Rice - Vitamin B3, Copper, Selenium, magnesium, Phosphorus.

Black Rice - Contains essential amino acid - Lysine, Tryptophan, Vitamins - B1, B2, folic acid, Minerals - Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Phosphorus.

If the vibrant colour of this soup does not convince you to make it, I promise you the flavour will, it is incredible.

In the past I have made pea and ham soup really thick and very green. Well that is how it is meant to be. But this recipe is a little different, you can change this recipe and add more spilt peas for a thicker soup. I hope you love it like, I do.

This pumpkin soup starts with roasting the pumpkin, which gives the soup a slightly caramelised flavour. You also add stock to it, and if you have homemade the stock this then becomes a soup full of nutrition.

This recipe makes two cakes - You can halve this recipe to make one. I freeze one cake, sliced, for another day if I don't need it straight away. I usually make more than I need, because as I say, ''My freezer is my favourite appliance in my Kitchen (ok, maybe my oven)'' It is full of real, unprocessed food that has been processed in my kitchen.

Good old fashion baked apples stuffed with prunes and orange.

Don't be scared by the word ''Gluten Free '' seriously, some of you need to give gluten a break once in a while. Buckwheat flour is one of my favourite flours. It is a great protein and very filling. Easy to buy in supermarkets.

Remember the last time you ordered Sticky Date Pudding in a restaurant. If you are were like me, you would have found it, sickly sweet. I would not even order it now if it was on the menu. It is loaded with sugar. If you have watched the ''Sugar Film'' you differently would not.

This dessert is honestly the most amazing ''sweet treat'' you could ever eat. I have served this with coconut yogurt that I make. (recipe coming soon )

Where possible eat raw food. This cheese cake is just that. You can make this a head of time and slice and freeze it. Dessert ready to go when you need it. Gluten free.
