Cocoa & Chia Balls

September 25, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

Did someone say healthy snacks? I love to snack. It’s a habit I have kept since working multiple jobs and going to University. Finding the right snack (and portion size) though can be tricky, so I have developed an easy- to- make, healthy snack option– Cocoa & Chia Balls!

As delicious as they are, try and stick to one a day. You will find that these balls are rich in fibre and protein, gluten and dairy free with no added sugar, however excess consumption can be high in overall energy. Variety is the key! Enjoy making these Cocoa & Chia Balls to have as a morning or afternoon snack!

I have the biggest sweet tooth and whenever I can, I love to create simple, delicious treats that satisfy my sweet cravings but are also nutritious!

Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein, fibre and vitmains/minerals. They can be used in soups and curries, sauces and stews. I wanted to help broaden their versatility to desserts as well! I hope you enjoy cooking with chickpeas as much as i do!

Red Lentil Dhal

September 6, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

If I could eat this dish all day I would! Red Lentil Dhal is so easy to make, and you get the delicious taste and aroma of these rich spices in your own home! High in protein and fibre, Red Lentil Dhal is a great way to get a variety of nutrients in and stay fuller for longer. I like to serve with both rice and pappadums for that extra texture and flavour. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do!

Pasta e Broccoli (Pasta & Broccoli)

August 16, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

This is one of my favourites- a simple, traditional Italian Cuisine. My mum used to make this every Monday night after she got home from taking my sister and I to swimming lessons. It’s a quick and easy meal! I’ve altered her recipe slightly as she would add potato. I love the heat and flavour that chilli brings to any dish, and this one is no different.

Berry & Coconut Cake

July 12, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

Berry & Coconut Cake is one of the quickest and easiest desserts to make. I love cooking with wholemeal flour for added fibre, and altering the sugar content to as minimal as possible. I have tried to remove the sugar altogether, even substituting with homemade fruit puree but il leave that to you to decide if you like it or not. The icing is completely optional. I find the cake itself delightful but the option is there if you wanted to try.

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

July 4, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

An oldie but a goodie! Pumpkin soup has been around for generations and it’s easy to see why! It’s delicious, creamy and satisfying. I wanted to add a few extra ingredients to make it all the more wholesome so I included chickpeas, broccolini and tomato! I was playing around with broccolini one day and found that adding a small amount doesn’t alter the flavour, however adds another vegetable in (which we all know how much I love to do!). Enjoy my version of Creamy Pumpkin Soup!

Vegetarian Stuffed Capsicum

June 25, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

An all- time favourite traditional dish in my family, however usually cooked with minced meat! I like to experiment with different forms of protein for variety and balance. My main substitute for minced meat in this dish, are red kidney beans! They are rich in protein, fibre and some iron. Canned Red Kidney Beans are a great alternative to raw ones, as they are already cooked and ready-to-go! Enjoy my Vegetarian Stuffed Capsicums with a side salad for lunch or dinner!

Bliss Balls

June 12, 2018 by cbattaglia No Comments

One of the easiest and quickest treats I have made! Bliss Balls are a great snack for Morning or Afternoon tea, or if you need to grab something as you’re running out the door. There are so many different types of bliss balls out there, but I love to make ones that have a variety of unsalted nuts and seeds for extra crunch and fibre. Nuts and seeds can help keep you fuller for longer too. I tend to alternate between adding banana to my bliss balls and making some without. The banana keeps them nice and moist (sorry but I had to use it!) but if you’re after a crunchier texture, try without!
