A winter staple, stocks are a brilliant way to add flavour to a dish. Whether you’re using it as a base for a soup, flavouring a casserole or making a risotto, there are countless ways we can use them.

When winter rolls around and the cold chill is well and truly in the air, it’s easy to find ourselves in lower moods. Between healthy habits, lifestyle choices and food, we can cover all of our bases and help ourselves feel happier throughout the colder months.

It’s not uncommon to go to a party and see an assortment of refined foods and sugary sweets. From lollies, chocolates, cakes, cookies and muffins, to crisps, popcorn and processed crackers, there’s often not a lot of ‘real food’ options.

There’s nothing worse than buying beautiful fresh veg and then having it go bad before we get a chance to use it. When it comes to food wastage, it isn’t good for our wallets and it’s certainly not good for the planet.

Navigating food labels can be confusing. We’re bombarded with messages and marketing claims and it seems that companies are getting more and more clever with ways of tricking us into thinking a product is healthy.

Winter is around the corner and with the weather cooling down it’s time to start incorporating more warming options throughout the day. We begin to transition away from lots of raw ingredients and move towards more cooked meals.

The more we learn about the gut, the more we realise how important it is. Along with digestion, gut health has been linked to mental health, skin health, immunity and more. I like to say that ‘gut health is the foundation of good health’.

It’s common to hear people say that eating healthy is expensive, but I’m here to say that it doesn’t have to be. There are many ways we can cut costs so that eating well becomes more affordable and accessible.

When we feel energised, it makes everything else a lot easier. There’s generally a lot we have to get through in any given day and we need energy to do so.

Remember the days when we were told to look for the ‘low fat’ or ‘fat free’ products because they were ‘better’ for us? Thank goodness those days are over. While fats have been demonised in the past, we now know that they’re actually an essential macronutrient and a beneficial part of a nutritionally balanced diet.

It’s a common misconception that it’s ‘bad to eat sweets’ and I often hear phrases along the lines of ‘I can’t eat healthy, I’m too much of a sweet tooth’. But you’ll be happy to know that sweets are not off the menu just because you want to eat healthy!
