Food Security – A Cautionary Tale
On the unfortunate events of the past week… This past week, pig farmers across the Mid North Coast received some devastating news – our local abattoir, Eversons Food Processors at Frederickton, have decided to stop processing pigs. The icing on the cake – they gave us less than 24 hours’ notice of their final day….
Natural Second Trimester Survival Kit
Yep, I’m writing this post about my favourite things for a natural Second Trimester…. on my due date! Oops. Suffice to say, life has been pretty busy. But I still have loads of useful tips to help you through your second trimester, naturally. If you haven’t read my first Pregnancy Survival Kit post, or if…

Chocolate Mousse Cake (grain/dairy/nut free, naturally-sweetened)
Oh. My. Goodness. This cake! No one would ever guess this cake was gluten/grain/nut/dairy free AND naturally sweetened. I hate cakes that make it really obvious that they’re missing something, or those that make it really obvious that the untweaked, reaction-causing version would have been so much yummier. And I think that it’s very easy, on a…
