It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe here, but after buying Pete Evan’s new book, Low Carb Healthy Fat recently, I was excited to try out some of his! If you’ve never heard of o’l Paleo Pete you can check out his websites Pete Evans and The Paleo Way. There’s been a lot of controversy in the Australian media surrounding him lately due to his promotion of a Paleo way of life, and I’m seriously dumbfounded as to how anyone could possibly ignore the countless health bene

This homemade Nutella is vegan, gluten and guilt-free! Nutella! That velvety, nutty, chocolatey spread that brings back childhood memories of being six years old in primary school and being insanely jealous of all the other kid’s lunches consisting of a Nutella sandwich or a single-serve Nutella packet with spatula for a morning tea, neither of which I was ever allowed.

These cookie dough bliss balls are bliss! Cookie dough would have to be one of my favourite treats. It was always my mix-in at Cold Rock Ice Creamery when I was a kid, and these days I can never go past Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Even when I have to share with my husband we always get the Half Baked flavour so he can have the chocolate brownie bits and I can dig out the cookie dough pieces!

This raw chocolate avocado mousse tart is rich, creamy, gluten-free and vegan! I think I may have largely contributed to the current avocado shortage in Australia.
