<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A beautiful Scottish friend Dee gave a group of her school mum friends this amazing carrot cake recipe a few years back, which I have adapted to a gluten free version. It has long since been a very popular cake in my house and among friends. It's moist and flavoursome with a lovely hint of cinnamon spice, complemented by decadent cream cheese icing. </span></div>

Spring is well underway and with the warmer weather, the bananas in our fruit bowl are ripening at a pace we can't keep up with. Cue banana baking recipes for the school lunch boxes.<br />
<br />
These gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins are delicious, filling, have some beautiful superfood and ancient grain ingredients and most importantly, get the big thumbs up from the kids! In this recipe we've incorporated banana flour made from Australian green bananas. It's gluten free and rich in dietary fibre.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Ingredients</u></b><br />
<br />
1 cup sorghum flour<br />
1/2 cup banana flour (naturalevolutionfoods.com.au)<br />
1/4 cup tapioca starch<br />
1 teaspoon xanthan gum<br />
1/2 cup packed brown sugar - (we like the unrefined kind, e.g. muscovado sugar)<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 tablespoon ground chia seeds<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
2 large eggs<br />
1/3 cup oil<br />
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yoghurt<br />
1/4 cup milk<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1 cup ripe bananas mashed (approx 2 medium bananas)<br />
3/4 cups gluten free/nut free chocolate chips (always check the packet)<br />
<br />
1) Grease or line a muffin tin. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.<br />
<br />
2) In a large mixing bowl, sift together the sorghum flour, banana flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Then stir in the ground chia and salt.<br />
<br />
3) In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sour cream, milk vanilla extract and mashed bananas. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.<br />
<br />
4) Spoon the batter into muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.<br />
<br />
5) Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from muffin tin and placing on a cooling rack. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 5 days.<br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After some unsuccessful attempts at coriander cultivation in our herb garden, I was thrilled to see we'd finally made some progress. I love a flavoursome pesto and thought I'd whip one up for a mid-week pasta. This recipe was one from bestrecipes.com.au that I adapted slightly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">NB: I buzzed this up in my food processor, but for those lucky Thermomix owners - even easier - (please tell my hubby I NEED one) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 cups of coriander with stems - give it a good rinse</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 cloves of chopped garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3/4 to 1 cup of unsalted cashews (I followed the recipe and used 1 cup, but personally think 3/4 cup would be a better balance - up to you depending on whether you prefer more coriander flavour to come through or you like the extra nuttiness)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4 tablespoons of macadamia nut oil - the really real virgin olive oil can sometimes have a slightly bitter aftertaste, hence the macadamia oil but again, up to you</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 lemon juiced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Briefly blitz all the ingredients except the oil and then slowly add the oil while you continue blitzing. And your pesto is done! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I cooked up some gluten free penne pasta, added some roasted then peeled capsicum (hint - roast capsicum in oven on high temp until they've softened and have slightly blackened skin, take out of oven and cover for a few minutes to sweat making peeling off the skin much easier), some halved and oven roasted cherry tomatoes, a bit of rocket and goats cheese on top. Get as creative as you want with what you add. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Delicious! </span><br />

My very supportive hubby is fairly used to being sidelined
when it comes to any Eve’s Better Bake media. Since the business began, he has
jokingly complained about never being invited to be one of the faces of our
company. “Why can’t I be on the website?” he says in jest “ I can be the eye
candy” he jokes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, we’ve finally called
his bluff. Several weeks ago, we filmed a branding video with the talented and
inspiring Jennifer Parlanti from Paper Box Media.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hubby was asked to be in one of the
starring roles, as the all important senior pastry chef and nurturer of his two
young chefs as they created delicious baked goodies for afternoon tea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think he was quite chuffed to be in the
forefront for once and slotted into the role with ease. I also have to hand it to him, the cookies he and the girls
whipped up, were very tasty!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Filming our video was an adrenalin filled, exhausting day but one our family
will never forget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can’t wait to
share our video with you all very soon, right as we launch our new products!</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The weather is warming up, we’ve come out of winter
hibernation, ready for the busier social scene summer tends to invite. After baking, my second love is putting
together new and unique salad combinations.
This one was begging to be made in anticipation of lazy summer BBQ’s with
family and friends and I had fun putting it together over the warm weekend. </span></div>

and one I recently thought I would give a crack. This is based on an ancient Ayurvedic technique
where you swish oil all around your mouth for 5-20 minutes to help remove any
nasty mouth bacteria that contributes to plague and gum disease. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be very careful not to inhale it (this is
definitely not for children) and it must be spat into the bin not swallowed,
not in sink. As a side note I did get top marks from my dental hygienist recently for excellent oral health so perhaps there is really is something in
this oil pulling? </span></div>

It was thanks to my own mum that I find myself on this new path. Mum really did make the kitchen the heart of the home as we were growing up. We were the envy of many of our friends with what our lunch boxes beheld each day with ever appearing new creative cookies, muffins and slices.

of professional rehabilitation and having a Diploma in the field of nutrition
it is heartening to see individuals like Eve who are cautious, thoughtful,
professional and desirous of creating a healthy environment for the general
public. It still surprises me how uninformed and uneducated many people
are about food and especially nutrition. This topic has always been one of huge
interest and I have tried to influence in my sphere as much as I can. Patients
often ask about diet even though they are consulting my husband who is a
Physical Therapist on other matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13px;">Ok, so I’m keen to get an idea on the best event you have been to so far this year in 2014?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 13px;">For me? I’d have to say the recent school trivia night. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">Um,
no this photo is absolutely not a couple of dads from school, it really
is the real Bono and Bono’s alter ego…..maybe not so much. But how fantastic to
see the school mums and dads get into the spirit of the night while raising
good funds for our wonderful primary school. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If however, you are looking for an event that
while unfortunately can’t promise an appearance by any famous rock stars <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(we think), </i>you can experience a vibrant
exhibition with a fabulous range of Gluten Free food!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

it is also the much anticipated launch of our Eve’s Better Bake baking mixes. So
of course, we are just a tad excited! We would love to see some friendly faces
so come and say hi to us on stand 93, Melbourne Exhibition Centre.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My two daughters and I have got into quite a lovely habit lately
of snuggling up at the end of the evening (if there is time after dinner, bath,
homework, reading) and watching a pre-recorded episode of Masterchef. Obviously the Masterchef winner has just been
announced, but I’ve managed not to spill the beans to my girls, who both have
their predictions on who is the most deserved of the title.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, it’s just a tv show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But it’s also been nice bonding time with my daughters, sharing our
opinions on what way the contestants have chosen to cook that day, or
ingredients they are using (eeew, they use squid ink, really Mum??) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or which herbs they are racing out to the
Masterchef garden to grab (just like my 7 year old does for me a lot during
dinner prep).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I have loved with this little temporary
tradition we’ve got going (is that an oxymoron?) is that it has sparked some
extra culinary imagination for my children. When the contestant’s challenge is
announced by Gary, George and Matt, we hit the pause button and each of us has
a turn at saying what they would choose to cook for that particular Masterchef
challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last night my 7 year old was
creating (in her head) a Heston Blumenthal inspired fruit platter, involving
green yoghurt and some grapefruit sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ok, so maybe it wouldn’t have won dish of the day, but I love that she
believes there are no limits to what is possible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My 9 year old is a basic as basic gets when it comes to
eating. Yep, your cut and dried ‘fussy eater’ no matter what attempts we make
to expand her dietary repertoire. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
most adventurous she has been as of late, is to wrap meatballs and some plain rice
in a lettuce leaf and call it San Choy Bau.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Being different from each other is what makes life interesting though,
including with our tastes in food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just
love the idea that we continue to explore and experiment in our cooking and
tasting and broaden our culinary horizons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I guess this continuous pushing of the envelope is what leads to society’s
evolving food styles, but perhaps that is a conversation for another day…..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most people only look at their health in very broad terms. We feel
well or unwell, we are tired or energetic, our muscles look good or
flabby, digestive system works, or doesn’t. If we consider our
bodies from the single cell, many of us would change our habits, possibly
profoundly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If a single cell in the liver was known to be cancerous, but could be
killed off by a lifestyle change, would we not make that lifestyle change
immediately? </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If a single lung cell was actually seen failing due to smoking and other
bronchial cells would follow rapidly, only the obtuse would not cease smoking
in the first instance. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The problem for all of us is, we wait until several cells are ‘unwell ‘before
we take notice of our bodies. In other words we only look at the gross. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A dictionary definition of a gross is twelve dozen. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A grocer was originally someone who sold in larger quantities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we ingest and digest food do we really consider the quantities of
the formulae that make up that product. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As humans evolve, so will the finesse of what we eat, drink and do,
transform and become more precise. </span></div>

<span id="goog_1090729061"></span>First day of my new blog, which I am pouncing upon in great anticipation. I hope that this becomes a place to find a warmth, comfort and a shared interest in health and well-being. At it's heart, the joy of baking wholesome, delicious and nutritious goodies that cater to a wide range of food allergies and intolerances.<br />
<br />
I've lined up some great guest bloggers, who are not only close to my heart but are incredible resources in the human quest for enhanced mind, body and spirit.<br />
<br />
I've always loved baking and now with two growing daughters and school lunch boxes to fill, it motivates me even more to be able to create yummy wholesome treats made with love. I know that so many mums out there love to do this too and are fighting the good fight against some of the foods that for too long we have accepted in good faith. Foods that are loaded with gluten, refined sugar and refined white flours. It's no wonder there is a dramatic increase in food allergies and intolerances and an obesity crisis. Navigating food choices has become harder than ever. <br />
<br />
I am proud to be even just a tiny part of the people's revolution in taking charge of their health and well-being.<br />
<br />
Join me!<br />
