He makes breakfast look like a restaurant. I make sure the ingredients actually love us back 😂

Eggs, seeded loaf, pepperoni, tomatoes, spring onions, honey and a squeeze of lime with chia seeds and chillli flakes

Anyone else married to someone who can plate up better than them?

Want to hack your carbs?

Here’s the science-backed trick that lets you eat them smarter - not less:

It’s called resistant starch.

And it changes how your body handles carbs.

Most carbs break down quickly → spike blood sugar.
But resistant starch? It resists digestion.

Instead, it:
✔ Feeds your gut bacteria
✔ Lowers blood sugar spikes
✔ Keeps you fuller longer

Here’s the interesting part:
When you cook and cool foods like:
🍚 Rice
🥔 Potatoes
🍝 Pasta

They transform.

Example:
Hot white rice = high GI
Cooled rice = up to 50% lower GI
So your leftovers?

They’re not just convenient…

They’re a metabolic advantage.

Next time you eat carbs - cool them first (preferably in the fridge overnight)

I run a low-tox preschool cooking class, and honestly…we keep it really simple.

We don’t talk about “good” or “bad” foods
We don’t make it complicated

We focus on:
- real ingredients
- simple recipes
- getting kids involved

And that’s kind of how I think adults should approach it too.

It doesn’t need to feel overwhelming to be meaningful.

Sometimes simple really is enough 💙

This was once a weekly staple for me…

But when you actually check the ingredients
It’s still ultra processed.

Not saying never use it - but if you’re trying to cut down on UPFs without overthinking it:

Oxo cube ➡️ miso paste

Same savoury flavour, takes seconds, fewer ingredients.

Start small - you don’t need to change everything overnight 💙

Save this for your next shop

I’ve been a bit quiet on here the last few months…

Life got busy, I overthought what to post, and honestly I think I made it all a bit more complicated than it needs to be.

But here’s what I’ve realised:
Low-tox, low UPF living doesn’t need to be perfect
It doesn’t need to be extreme
And it definitely shouldn’t feel overwhelming

So I’m coming back to this page with a simpler approach:
- easy swaps
- realistic meals
- less confusion, more clarity

If you’re trying to make small changes without feeling stressed about it… you’re in the right place 💙
