I love a meal that’s loaded with protein and packed with flavour…it’s no wonder that everyone on social media can’t stop talking about this recipe!

Enter the viral ground beef – sweet potato – cottage cheese bowl

At first glance this combo might sound a little questionable, but trust me, this is the bowl is nutritious, delicious, and so satisfying..it will keep you full for hours.

What you need: (Makes 4 bowls):

1 600g package lean ground beef
Kinder’s buttery steakhouse seasoning (or your fave seasoning blend)
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 cups cottage cheese
1-2 tbsp hot honey
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Peel and cube your sweet potatoes.
Add them to an oven-safe baking dish and season with olive oil, salt, garlic and onion powder
Bake for 35-40 mins or until roasted to perfection
In a large skillet, brown the lean ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as you go. Add seasoning and mix well to combine

To assemble your bowls:

Start with a base of cooked sweet potatoes, then add a generous scoop of cottage cheese (about ½ cup)
Top with the seasoned beef
I added some sauteed bok choy for some added veggies
Finish it off with hot honey.

Mix everything together and be ready for the ultimate flavor explosion!

Hello Friends! So…question.. when’s the last

Hello Friends!

So…question.. when’s the last time you wore a comfortable bra?

You all know how much I love my Knix products, which I’ve been proudly and confidently wearing since my life-saving ostomy surgery in January 2023. So obvs I was going to introduce you to my new fave Knix bra – The WingWoman contour bra.

This bra is like nothing else I’ve ever worn! Here’s why I love it:

-The cups are molded and it has a plunging neckline giving a beautiful shape
-It’s wireless yet it supports, lifts and separates amazingly
-It’s the best bra for all the big boob baddies as it comes in 99 sizes (28A-48H)
-The extra side coverage stops side and back spillage

Pair this amazing bra with matching Knix undies, and you’re set! (I did!) – I’m wearing the colour Rosewater, with the matching No Show French Cut

Click the link in my bio to shop this and other incredibly comfortable, sexy, supportive bras, undies, swim, and more on the Knix website!

Much Love 💕

This is the best guilt free brownie bite/ball recipe you will ever try.. and it’s no-bake!

The base of this recipe is dates which make these brownie bites super fudgy and sweet, and the addition of the cocoa powder turns them oh so decadent 😍

-3 tbsp almond flour (can sub oat flour)
-2 heaping tbsp nut butter (I used peanut)
-2 tbsp coconut oil
-3-4 tbsp maple syrup
-1/2 cup chocolate chips
-1 tbsp coconut oil

•Soak the dates in warm water for 20 minutes or until softened.
•Add the dates and all other ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until you get a smooth but thick consistency
•Place in the brownie batter in the fridge for 20 minutes
•Using a cookie scoop, spoon the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet
•Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up
•Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together
•Take each brownie bite and roll into a ball
•Dip each ball into your melted chocolate mixture and return to the parchment lined baking sheet
•Freeze for 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens..and

ENJOY! 💜

Living with an ostomy has a ton of ups and downs,

Living with an ostomy has a ton of ups and downs, namely dealing with leaks which come about unexpectedly and often at the most inopportune times, for example at work, when you’re out and about or even in your sleep.

As annoying and as frustrating as dealing with leaks can be, what helps me cope and navigate is being prepared. I always have my emergency ostomy supply kit stocked with all my

Ostomy kit essentials:

•Coloplast Sensura Mio pouches and flanges
•Coloplast Brava Protective Rings
•Coloplast Brava Adhesive Remover Spray
•Coloplast Brava Adhesive Remover Wipes
•Coloplast Brava Skin Barrier Wipes
•Coloplast Brava Powder
•Coloplast Brava Lubricating Ostomy Pouch Deodorant
•Garbage bags
•Gauze
•Wipes

I am always honest about this journey and sharing both the days where I feel like empowered and those where I feel completely defeated are all part of the process.

Ostomy pouch leaks always leave me with these sentiments:

💙Are leaks frustrating and leave me feeling a little broken? Yes

💙Is having to do an emergency bag change as bad as I thought? No

💙Did having my supply kit stocked and ready help me cope? Absolutely
