Coconut & Lime Chicken

Janet

Health, Organic Food, Recipes, Uncategorized

Lately we have been lucky to have some lovely fresh Limes in our Organic Seasonal Fruit & Vegetable Boxes.

Energy Balls – Cranberry Bites

Janet

Family Favourites, Organic Food, Recipes

My family seem to eat boxes and boxes of pre-packaged muesli bars each week. They are gluten intolerant, so of course the only brands available to eat are usually quite expensive.

Deciphering food labels and pesticide nasties

Janet

Food Labelling, Health, Organic Food

Even for those who aren't regular supermarket shoppers, there are occasions when venturing into the supermarket is necessary to pick up some bread or last minute essentials. Supermarkets, backed by a powerful food industry, increasingly attempt to win consumers through ad campaigns that use the labels of 'fresh', 'Australian Made' and 'Australian Grown'. But how do we accurately interpret food labels and what about pesticide residue? Is it really made in Australia? For anyone who is concerned...
