Are You BBQ Ready This Long Weekend?

With Australia Day four sleeps away, in addition to being our national day, let’s be honest… it also provides a welcome break from the 5 day weeks we have been trying to get our heads back into since the Holiday season finished. So there are picnics, BBQs and radio-sessions abounding, not to mention well-earned sleep-ins all round.

There are lots of healthy alternatives for classic Australian recipes to celebrate the day with.

Here are some of our faves:

There are lots of quick and easy ways to support your health without punishing your tastebuds. How about we throw a shrimp on the Barbie with these delicious prawn kebabs? And to keep with the green and gold theme – why not have jugs of sparkling water with fresh slices of lemons and lime for a delicious patriotic thirst quencher?

Fresh salads such as this delicious Kangaroo and macadamia concoction or a combination of these amazing salads to help balance out the heavier treats that people will be indulging in.

To help burn off the celebration calories, how about trying this 30 day planking challenge? No equipment needed and only a few minutes a day required. Accessible for all to try, and a great way to reignite your New Year’s fitness resolutions, are you up for it? There are multiple variations of a classic plank that can be adapted to suit physical needs without losing the integrity of the exercise.

We’d love to hear about how you plan to celebrate this long weekend, or if you have any crowd favourite, go-to Aussie inspired recipes! You can call me on 03 9963 4804 or email me directly.

Small Changes = Big Results

It’s been a long, warm summer, running a bit over schedule this year, however the onset of Autumn does force us to gear down. We begin to transition into homebody mode. The weekends full of barbecues and day drinking begin to dwindle and accepting a social offer on a weekday seems like a ludicrous concept…

How To Beat The Cold

We are well and truly into winter – almost halfway through in fact! This also means the season of coughs and colds (pandemic notwithstanding). So how do you boost your immunity to avoid the bugs, or what’s the best way to get rid of them if you have already succumbed?
