One month with this legend✨🐶 He’s the frien

One month with this legend✨🐶 He’s the friendliest little dude and loves people - staring at them as they walk across the street, playing with them, or sitting patiently at their feet while he waits for pats (we’re trying at least😂🥲).

At our final puppy preschool class the pups had to do a training course, one at a time, to show what they’ve learnt - the trainers made the other dogs and owners turn around as he gets too distracted by everyone🤪

Can you guess what breed he is?🐶

P.s. promise this won’t turn into a petgram, but please grant me a few posts🤣🎉💃

ad / What's your go-to favourite snack?

I'm loving these @olinasbakehouseanz Seeded Snackers. I've got them on repeat, served with a few heaped tablespoons of easy speedy spicy pineapple guacamole🥑

The snack aisle at the supermarket can be tricky to navigate. Here are some reasons to love these wholesome crackers:
💚Their ingredients list contains 81% seeds(!). This boosts the protein, heart-healthy fat and fibre content.
💚They're ovenbaked and light.
💚They're bite-sized - perfect for snack time!
💚They pack a delicious and mighty flavour punch.
💚They're gluten free for those who need to be mindful.

👩‍🍳To make the spicy pineapple guacamole simply mash together 1 avocado, the juice of a small lime, a small handful of finely chopped coriander, 1/2 finely chopped red onion, 2 Tbsp crushed pineapple from a can, a pinch of cumin, chili flakes and salt to taste. Keep in the fridge for a few days to cover multiple snacking sessions - so good!

Happy weekend🎉 Where are my bagel lovers at?! T

Happy weekend🎉 Where are my bagel lovers at?! This smoked salmon bagel platter is brunch-on-steroids and so easy to make.

Apart from a bit of slicing, toasting and arranging, the only other prep needed is a few minutes to whip up a speedy lemon and dill cream cheese spread (the hero of this dish - it’s SO good🤤).

Recipe is live on my blog now💃 Big hugs to my sister and sister-in-law who whipped up a version at my earlier hens-do brunch. I had to recreate it for the blog - scummiest brunch idea ever💛 #loxbagel #loxbagels #smokedsalmon #bagel #brunchidea #breakfastideas

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to join the @newzealandfoodawards judging panel as a food critic judge😊⭐️

These awards hero some of the best food and beverage items in New Zealand, and shine a spotlight on incredible food producers and businesses who exhibit product innovation, sustainability and excellence.

As a part of a panel of three food critic judges, we critically looked at quality, taste, texture and presentation of entries, covering over 170 products! It was pretty much the tastiest day of my life haha💛

I also brought a nutritional-focused lens to the panel, looking at how products might meet the needs of shoppers dietary needs and wants (lots of super innovative free-from foods!).

Tonight, the Finalists and Winners are being announced virtually in a live celebration. If you’d like to join me in watching it, head to the @newzealandfoodawards and click the link in their bio - it’s live at 7pm NZT! Not long to go!🥇⭐️Congrats to all the amazing entries ahead.

Today I wrap up 7 years in community nutrition and

Today I wrap up 7 years in community nutrition and wellbeing🌟 I began working in the social services fresh out of uni as a nutritionist for children, young people and families. The last few years this has ventured into general health and wellbeing, looking at not just how food can impact health, but other pillars beyond - how we move our body, our thoughts and emotions, our spirituality and whatever that means for us, and the community around us.

Working with tamariki and rangatahi has been the coolest, most rewarding thing ever. I’ve learnt so much - personally and professionally - and have loved every minute, which is why it feels Iike I’ve blinked and we’re here.

I’ve really experienced how nutrition and wellbeing is never one-size fits all, that establishing connection and rapport is the first priority, and to truly understand and advise we must listen more than we speak. My thumbs are also pretty green now too, from a zillion community garden sessions🌱🥦🥬

I begin a new professional adventure next week, looking at wellbeing again through a different lens. I’m looking forward to sinking my teeth into this arena, but carrying the learnings with me💛 #joblove #farewell #newbeginnings #communitynutrition #wellbeing #nutritionist
