What’s in My Pantry?

Kate Freeman — Fri, 11 May 2012 04:26:09 +0000

I don’t claim to be a perfect eater. In fact, I don’t actually believe that there is such a thing. Healthy eating is so much more than ‘perfection’. It’s enjoyment, balance, creativity, experimentation, fresh, whole, exciting and routine. I’m often asked by people what my pantry looks like, as if it holds the key to [...]

Turkey mince rissoles are so easy to make and extremely versatile. You can use them as the meat patty in hamburgers, make them into balls and serve with pasta and tomato passata or just throw them on the BBQ and serve with a fresh garden salad or grilled vegetables. Ingredients (serves 4) 500g turkey mince [...]

Eggs on Toast with a Twist

Kate Freeman — Wed, 02 May 2012 03:27:42 +0000

One of my favourite things to do on a Saturday morning is cook up a nice hot, big breakfast. For me, nothing beats scrambled eggs on toast (coupled with a cappuccino of course) on a lazy weekend morning. As a nutritionist, I’m constantly searching for new, exciting ways to eat vegetables and one of my [...]

It’s no secret that a healthy diet results in a stronger immune system; but what vitamins and food do we specifically need to defend our bodies against colds and flus this winter? Vitamin C Research shows that adequate intake of vitamin C can build a healthy immune system and defend your body against disease. It [...]

Green Chicken Curry

Kate Freeman — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:23:41 +0000

Nothing beats a tasty hot curry as a winter comfort food. Curries are notoriously known for their high kilojoule and fat content due to the presence of coconut milk or cream. I’ve adapted this recipe to have a reduced amount of coconut milk without compromising on the flavour. Pack it full of colourful vegetables and [...]

When it comes to warming up on a cold winters night, theres nothing quite like a hearty pumpkin soup. Full of body and flavour this soup is very filling and satisfying, boasting 8g of fibre per serve. The addition of the cannellini beans is what boosts the fibre content also giving it a beautiful creamy [...]

The Health Benefits of Dairy

Kate Freeman — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:01:07 +0000

I’ve noticed, lately, a lot of confusion around dairy and it’s health benefits. Although there are conflicting studies over whether dairy products belong in a healthy diet, the overall consensus is that unless you have a dairy protein allergy or lactose intolerance, dairy is an important and healthy component of a healthy eating plan. Here’s [...]

The thought of making vegetables the primary part of your meal can sometimes be rather daunting, particularly if you’re not a big fan of the ‘plant food’. One of the tastiest ways to eat vegetables is as part of a stir fry. Stir frying is quick, easy and with the use of a few key [...]

Tomato, Basil, Spinach & Feta Quiche

Kate Freeman — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 03:48:34 +0000

I love quiche. There are a couple of reasons… One. They are so simple to make. You pretty much combine all the ingredients together and then put it in the oven. Two. They are so versatile because you can add so many different kinds of flavours. Three. They are great for preparing in advance which [...]
