Australia Day Menu? She’ll Be Right!

With Australia Day only one sleep 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 this refreshing Tomato lemon combination can help balance out the heavier treats that people will be indulging in.

Australia Day is not the only annual event this week, with the start of the Chinese New Year festivities taking off around the country and the globe to celebrate the beginning of the year of the Rooster. We wish a happy new year to our friends and colleagues who will be celebrating over the next few weeks.

To help burn off the festival celebration calories, how about trying this 30 day planking challenge? No equipment needed and only a few minutes a day required. So this is accessible for all to try, 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.

As always, please let me know if there are any particular topics you would love us to look into or you have any queries or concerns.

You can call me on 03 9963 4832 or email me directly.

The Benefits of Continuous Learning

Let’s start today with a little background. I am a first generation Australian. Both of my parents travelled here by ship in the 1950’s. My father was 11 years old when he settled inner Melbourne as a pre-teen. At 14, he began an apprenticeship as a butcher. This piece of personal information is one you…

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?
