An Australian Christmas menu…

We recently hosted 17 adults and 9 babies for a Christmas lunch, the perfect way to road-test a new house (especially the kitchen!). The secret to it running smoothly… good preparation (and a kitchen with plenty of bench space and a big oven!). Here’s the menu …

Chocolate brownie for the Paleo, gluten free and dairy free of this world (who love to indulge!)

This brownie is amazing. If you don’t tell people, kids and adults, it’s paleo (Gluten Free, Dairy free and refined sugar free) they would NEVER know, and will be asking for seconds.

Japanese Gyoza dumplings Hey bernice recipe cooking healthy cabbage pork dinner savoury entree

Best Gyoza ever… and the kids love them!

I’ve been really struggling to get my kids to willingly eat vegies lately. They might look like little angels, but come mealtime and they grow devil horns. We will often have Japanese, and they LOVE gyoza. So I figured if I could stuff different kinds… Read More

Basil kale cashew and walnut pesto Hey Bernice paleo gluten free dairy free and sugar free pasta dip recipe

Pesto – Basil, Kale and toasted Cashews and Walnuts (Paleo, Gluten Free and Dairy free)

I had heaps of basil (cause I planted heaps in my new veggie patch and can’t keep up with the major over-supply!).
With a bag full of kale, and plenty of nuts to choose from I set about experimenting with different quantities of each to come up with this great Paleo, gluten free and dairy free pesto recipe.

Salted Caramel and chocolate fudge slice dessert sweet recips hey Bernice Paleo Gluten Free Dairy free refined sugar free healthy kids

Salted Caramel and Chocolate Fudge Slice (Gluten Free, Dairy free, Refined Sugar Free and Paleo)

One of the things I believe strongly in is playing around with recipes.
Taking someone else’s amazing creation and tweaking it a little, or combining it with another part of a different recipe.

That’s exactly what I’ve done here!

Joco reusuable glass cups christmas coffee tea

My favourite online Christmas present shopping options..

I’m going to keep this short and to-the-point… I’m in LOVE with online products and app, and think that you should be too this Christmas!

Think yourself lucky that I’m willing to share my little secrets with you.

What’s more, these amazingly awesome products are made by locals in my region (Geelong & Torquay) and Melbourne. I’ll be giving these presents this Christmas. If you want to as well simply place your order right now online, and have it arrive on your doorstep – could it get any easier?

hello...

My name is Bin (short for Belinda).
I'm a multi-passionate. I cook, sew, plant, paint, decorate, style, invent and experiment. A mum of two little ladies. Wife to a wonderful husband, who makes me laugh every day. Beach addict, dog lover and curious creative.
Bernice is my alter ego…. she sneaks out on occasions and tries her hand at blogging, plays around with interior styling, attempts to up-cycle anything (and everything, if you were to ask my husband) and experiments with recipes whenever she can steal back a minute or two.
This is Bernice's very eclectic, electronic journal.
