Not your mammas strawberries and cream...

Who needs sugar and dairy filled cream when you can have whipped coconut cream?!

This cream is epic! And add in homemade raw chocolate and fresh strawberries... Yum!

I originally wanted chocolate cookies topped in the coconut cream, but after making some raw chocolate I decided on strawberries and cream instead. And this raw chocolate recipe is so simple but so satisfying too. 

How to create a bowl full of sunshine...

-Fresh, preferably local, strawberries

-Raw chocolate

-1/2 cup melted unrefined coconut oil

-1/4 to 1/2 cup raw cacao

-1 tablespoon natural sweetener 

-Mix, pour onto a lined tray and refrigerate 

Coconut whipped cream

-1 tin coconut cream with liquid removed 

(refrigerate and don't shake before use)

-1 tablespoon liquid sweetener

-1 teaspoon vanilla essence 

-Whip until combined and refrigerate

Combine and enjoy!

"She wouldn't hurt a fly"

Dear Fly


Mr Fly, oh Mr Fly

What brings you to my house?

Are you looking for a safe place to rest your wings?  

Or perhaps you're looking for a friend?

If I get close enough I can see your big beady eyes.

I hear your buzzing and know you're there.

You're a tiny black ball of fuzz.

You seem focussed on my window, 

Like you're trying to get out.

But please, relax Mr Fly,

You won't find no fly spray here.

Take your time and stay a while.

And when you're ready to leave,

Head for the door and I'll let you out...



Yours compassionately, Kylie x

When I'm feeling lazy

It's hard trying to find a balance between the vegan meals I want, the meat and veg my husband wants, and the types of meals the kids will eat. Sometimes it feels like I need to cook three different meals just to please everyone. 

If we're not having meat and veg (provided I got meat out of the freezer), I usually turn to the internet for inspiration.

But after spending the day with the kids, cleaning the house, checking Facebook, making things, procrastinating, etc I don't always have the energy or feel inspired to make anything for dinner. 


Also a great way for them to practice their numbers! Counting how many holes are empty and how many they have left.

So for this I ended up using some pasta, carrots, apple, strawberries, frozen beans, slivered almonds and cashews. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand and make it as colourful as possible! 

It was a big hit!
