Now known as one of the healthiest vegetables if not the healthiest vegetable to eat.
This leafy veg can range from rich to herbaceous in flavour. Kale is a leafy vegetable with green or purple leaves. There are several varieties of kale all of which differ slightly in taste, texture and appearance. This vegetable is a member of the brassica —or cabbage—family, also known as a cruciferous vegetable. Wrap loosely and keep in resealable bag in vegetable drawer of fridge.
A great option for Potato lovers as the Sweet Potato is slightly healthier.
The purple variety has shot to fame after the airing of the Blue Zone documentary, where people who live to 100 include Purple Sweet Potato as a key part of their diet. While the sweet potato is a root vegetable, it is not directly related to the regular potato. It has quite different taste and a lighter, fluffier texture. Sweet potato makes an excellent side dish, and yummy chips.
“TURN IT UP”--- NO TURNIPS
Yes Turnips, like Onions, Turnips can add flavour and something a little different.
Looking at the nutrient list for Turnips, it was pretty broad with many describing them as a ‘Nutrient Powerhouse” so a bit of everything. A mild tasting root veg that must be cooked before it's eaten. Turnip is a white fleshed root vegetable with purple-flushed white skin. Varieties vary in size and shape. They are slightly sweet and peppery, and often used to cut through the richness of slow cooked or braised meats.
Try baked, mashed, sauteed or in a casserole.

BRUSSELL SPROUTS

It’s spicy, tangy and sweet, and popular in Asian dishes.
Ginger can be crushed or cut in small pieces, it can also be bought in powder form. It is very versatile, it can go into just about any dish, try it in bread crumbs with crumbed Chicken. Ginger also goes great with Garlic so you have SUPER healthy dining experience. Try scraping the skin off with a teaspoon rather than cutting with a knife to minimise waste.
Sprouts seem to be the only veg that you either love or hate, no in between.
Okay, I understand, if you hate Sprouts you may stop reading now, I know nothing will convince you they are worth eating. BUT, if you don’t mind a sprout then you’re in luck as they are packed with goodies. Their compact little bodies keep in all the goodness so for a small veg they deliver big results. This veg is shaking off the stigma and making a culinary comeback. Brussels sprouts resemble miniature cabbages and are named after the city of Brussels in Belgium. The sprouts are the edible vegetative buds of the plant.
Peel before use. Keep in a resealable bag with most of the air pressed out and in the fridge.
GARLIC – SAY NO MORE
5 GINGER
The smaller the clove, the stronger the taste.
My father always said, “1000 people can’t be wrong.” For 2,000 years garlic has been praised as a magic health food, so it must be true. Believed to cure almost everything (except bad breath) and even ward off evil spirits. (Happy Halloween) Try smoked and black garlic for something different.

A metabolism reset involves temporarily shifting to a restricted meal plan—typically for two weeks—to help your body burn stored fat, reduce inflammation, and improve immune function. Supporting your immune system during this time is crucial, as it plays a key role in how your body responds to inflammation and processes nutrients. Additionally, quality sleep and stress management are essential for a successful reset, as they allow your body to repair, regenerate, and maintain optimal metabolism.
Certain lifestyle changes can enhance both your metabolism and your immune system, making them essential for your reset:
Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Aim for meals where 80% of your plate is filled with fresh vegetables and salads, and include two servings of fruit per day. A good rule of thumb: if it doesn’t spoil, it’s probably not good for you. Opt for fresh, whole foods with shorter shelf lives.
Gut health is essential for both metabolism and immunity, as 70% of your immune cells are housed in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome helps regulateyour immune response and reduces chronic inflammation. Probiotics, found in fermented foods like yoghurt, sauerkraut, and kombucha, encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which support both digestion and immune function. Prebiotic-rich foods like asparagus, onions, and legumes feed these good bacteria, keeping your gut healthy and your metabolism active.
Chronic inflammation slows your metabolism and increases the risk of autoimmune diseases. To combat this, include anti-inflammatory foods such as blueberries, green tea, dark leafy greens like kale, and fatty fish like salmon. These foods contain antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation and support immune function.Additionally, foods rich in Vitamin C(like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and bell peppers) help boost white blood cell production, which is essential for fighting infection. Zinc, found in seafood, poultry, and legumes, also supports immune cell function and helps regulate inflammation.
High levels of stress can lead to an increase in the hormone cortisol, which is known to contribute to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. Things that combat stress are practices such as meditation, yoga, orexercises.
Water is essential for digestion, satiety, and liver function. Studies show that increased water intake can aid weight loss and improve immune function.
Caffeine, particularly from coffee, can be a valuable tool in boosting your metabolism during a reset. Known for enhancing mental alertness and motivation, coffee also increases your body’s energy expenditure, promoting fat-burning and reducing inflammation. However, moderation is key—around 4–5 cups per day is ideal, while excessive intake should be avoided, especially for those with cardiovascular concerns.
7. Prioritise Sleep to Support Metabolism and Gut Health
Poor sleep can negatively impact your body’s ability to process food and regulate energy, leading to weight gain and a sluggish metabolism. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to repair and regenerate. Your gut microbiome influences mood, cognition, and immune function, and studies show that disruptions in sleep can lead to imbalances in your gut bacteria.
After three months of varied eating, your metabolism may slow down again. A good reminder to consider another reset is when the seasons change. Even those with healthy body weight can benefit from a two-week reset to improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and sleep quality.

Allergic rhinitis or as we know it - HAY FEVER.
You hear the lawn mowers roaring down the street, you look at the trees and see buds blossoming, you see the bees and know they are carrying….. Pollen, yes, its hay fever season.
They say 18% of us will have hay fever at some stage in our lives, for the 82% that won’t be affected you can count your blessings because as sufferers know it can be like having the flu all over again, then again and again.
Although not generally serious hay fever can be a real nuisance, the good news is you can selfmedicate with an antihistamine, you may need to try a few brands to find one that works for you.
If you have symptoms its important to be sure it is hay fever and not something more serious, most experienced sufferers know instantly, but if you are a first timer, or have prolonged symptoms probably best to pop into your doctors for a chat.
Hay Fever can also become a bigger problem for those who suffer asthma or other respiratory illness, so if planning an outing with the Grand parents or someone susceptible perhaps the park with freshly mown grass is not the place, try somewhere indoors.
Planning is the key. If you suffer you should know a windy day whisks up the dust and pollen, avoid cut grass and gardening, you may have other triggers so avoiding these is half the battle.
Tips to avoid hay fever.
1. Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth.
2. Wear wraparound sunglasses to protect your eyes from dust and pollen.
3. shower and change your clothes after you've been outside.
4. Stay indoors on windy days.
5. keep windows and doors shut when indoors.
6. Don’t put pets close to your face.
7. vacuum regularly and dust with a damp cloth.
1. Use a warm nasal and eye wash as pollen can be caught.
2. Take a shower
3. Use your favorite antihystemine
If symptoms persist see your doctor, for severe sufferers there are other treatment options rather than the standard antihistamine.
With a proud tradition of premium quality, Bickford’s is considered one of Australia’s oldest and most treasured brands.
Founded by William Bickford in 1840 in Hindley Street, which was the centre of Adelaide trade at the time, the business began as a dispensary selling an eclectic range of pharmaceutical remedies, general goods, perfumes and veterinary supplies.
William advertised the business, gaining a strong reputation in South Australia before his unexpected death in 1850. His wife Anne-Margaret made the unusual decision for the time to continue the business alone, eventually creating AM Bickford & Sons, the foundation of the company we know today. Anne-Margaret’s signature still features on all Bickford’s packaging as a stamp of authenticity as well as a proud reminder of the family roots.
William experimented with cordial as a means to ward off ailments such as scurvy which was prevalent at the time, however his idea was not fully realised until 1874 when Lime cordial was produced and sold commercially under Anne-Margaret’s stewardship, with Bickford’s quicklybecoming synonymous with high quality cordial, a reputation which remains true today. The popular cordial range achieved recognition, winning awards at home as well as at international exhibitions in Great Britain and France.
By 1920, Bickford’s had also created new opportunities through the development of Our Jack’s Essence of Coffee and Chicory which was
Bickford’s Iced Coffee Syrup we know and love today, which remains
OWNERS, THE KOTSES FAMILY, BOUGHT THE BUSINESS IN 1990 HERALDING A NEW ERA IN INNOVATION AND RANGE EXPANSION WHILE KEEPING A FIRM GRIP ON THE TRADITIONS AND REPUTATION THAT MAKES BICKFORD’S A MUST- HAVE BRAND IN EVERY HOME.

Another Bickford’s favourite, the Old-Style Soda range, was re-developed in 1992 with a nostalgic look at the Australia of yesterday, staying faithful to the traditional recipes developed more than 70 years before. Still winning new fans today, with a following that includes both the young and young at heart, Bickford’s Traditional Soda represents the pride, quality, integrity and simplicity of flavour of a bygone era that is unmistakably Australian
In 2024, the Bickford’s range will undergo a complete brand refresh designed to blend a modern look and feel while respecting the tradition of its 150-year history. Starting with the Premium Juice range which started to arrive on shelf in August, the rest of the range will roll into the new aesthetic over a 6-month period as the brand steps into the next era of its iconic journey.

Windows can be a huge job. We suggest starting on the outside first, this can be easier as its mostly dust and cobwebs. Start with a pressure wash using your hose (with a pressure attachment) and broom or brush to give them a loose going over. Do not use soap on the outside as it may leave streaks which you may think are on the inside when you start inside.
Windows inside. Make sure you remove any curtains or things that just get in the way, especially if your Spring clean will involve a curtain wash. Dust blinds before you clean the windows. Clean the inside of your windows when it is not that sunny as heat dries the windows super-fast leaving streaks. Have the right cleaning cloths, microfibre or similar.
use boiling water. Boiling water is a great way
detergent if you wish. The Boiling water is also a fairly good germ killer.
Grimy faucets, or grime in any cracks. An old toothbrush can do the trick, a bit of White King and elbow grease is perfect for this task.
Wash things that can trap odour, like dog beds, throw rugs and carpets. You do not need to use your washing machine, just squirt, squeeze and dry in the sun. Vacuum first to remove pet hair.
You can remove exposed, easy-to-reach light globes and give them a dust, same with lamps, a good time to check the light sockets and inside the lamp shades for webs and dust.
Filter or range hood. These things are a dust magnet, they can build up dust and hamper the effectiveness of the fan. Give these a good clean.
Sometimes it is easier to buy a product that can save you time and effort in the future. Like, gutter covers, like a vacuum cleaner that actually works or doubles as a mop, a sink hole cover to stop excess scraps getting into your pipes, door sealers that stop dust blowing in.
Do not forget the outside, especially the gutters. If your rainwater is building up in areas it can spill over into your roof, this can cause major damage.
Some things need an expert, like ducted heating vents, these should be cleaned regularly. It is pretty obvious that floor-based systems will fill quickly with dust, out of sight, out of mind you may say, but there are safety reasons to have these done as well as health and cleanliness issues. Every time you turn on the system you are blowing dust back into your house. If you are finding dust on your coffee tables, benchtops etc, then your ducts may be the issue.
PUT A SPONGE UNDER YOUR SOAP. USE MILK TO POLISH LEATHER.
When you return soap to its holder it generally sits in hot water which very slowly melts the soap and also makes it softer over time. To stop your soap melting away put it on a sponge, this will absorb any water and your soap will dry faster and won’t be wet when you use it next.
This may work, but no more than soap and water, or good cleaning product. If you use milk you then must clean it off to avoid smells etc, and leather has creases where things can hide. Milk is produce so rots. Too many negatives, for me this is a thumbs down.
I’m guessing someone probably just had a thought, milk comes from cows, and cows make leather and made some link.
This is a 50/50 at best. You need to soak the stain in the lemon juice before washing and let the citric acid go to work on the stain. When washed the stain may be removed. I say may as I would say this would not be so successful on permanent marker ink or printer ink. The term acid is also a worry, delicate cloth may be damaged, school clothes which are more robust would be fine. For me this is a last resort.
This is true, if you are painting and need a break, even an overnight break, no need to wash the brush to keep it fresh, just wrap it in gladwrap, paint and all. The wrap keeps out the air out so it doesn’t dry out.
This can work as a scrunched up piece of tin foil acts like a Steel wool pad, plenty of hard edges to break up stubborn grime. Would work well on a non-coated pot, or well used pot/pan, but may scratch a coated pot/pan. Also, Steel wool pads are pretty cheap, probably cheaper than aluminium foil. For me, give the steel wool pad any day.
REMOVE PERMANENT MARKER FROM A HARD SURFACE.
This is a tried a true method, I use this often. Simply scribble over the permanent marker ink/writing with a whiteboard marker and wipe away.
AROUND HALF OF ALL AUSTRALIAN ADULTS don’t place any importance on gum health according to new data released by the Australian Dental Association, placing them at risk of serious health conditions.
ADA Survey results uncovered some revealing insights into why Australians’ oral health is not where it should be - and the need for people to boost their oral health practices to keep gum disease, tooth decay and serious whole-of-body health conditions away.
Gums are the forgotten foundations of our mouths, with just over half (53%) of the 25,000 people surveyed thinking that looking after their teeth is moreimportant than looking after their gums. Only 28% said gums and teeth were equally important, and 19% said gums are more important. Meanwhile 25% of respondents also reported that ‘how to look after their gums’ is not something they think about.
While cleaning between the teeth is pivotal to oral health as brushing the teeth only cleans about 60% of tooth surfaces, the survey found that a shocking 74% rarely or never floss. Only 21% clean between their teeth daily which is what’s recommended by dentists.
“This means those 74% of Aussie adults may be putting their mouths on a fast track to bleeding gums which often indicates gum disease and are a red flag,” said Dr Mikaela Chinotti, the ADA’s Oral Health Promoter.
“Together with risk factors including smoking, increased age and health conditions like diabetes, more and more Aussies have developed severe gum disease, known as periodontitis, over the years.
Dr Mikaela Chinotti went on to say “These findings go some way to explaining why one in four Australians have inflammation of the gums and one in three have moderate to severe periodontitis. Together with jawbone and ligaments, the gums form the foundations that keep teeth in place. With severe gum disease, these elements are damaged, affecting how the teeth stay in place. Unfortunately, gums are the forgotten foundations of the mouth and plenty of people are not giving them a second thought. Countless scientific studies show neglected oral health can either precipitate or worsen another health condition with robust evidence linking periodontal disease and cardiovascular conditions, Type 2 diabetes and inflammatory bowel conditions.
“These serious health conditions can be in some instances be improved if people look after their mouths. That means brushing twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste, flossing daily, eating a diet low in sugar and seeing your dentist regularly for check-ups. And if bleeding gums don’t subside with regular good oral hygiene practices, then see a dentist to investigate further because healthy gums don’t bleed.”
Back in 2022 Nestlé Australia announced it aimed to plant 10 million trees in Australia by 2025 in partnership with Greening Australia, Canopy and One Tree Planted. That’s one tree for every house in Australia.
The ambitious project is part of Nestlé’s Global Reforestation Program, which aims to plant and grow 200 million trees globally by 2030 as part of the company’s efforts to achieve net zero emissions.
Establishing a biodiverse mix of native species, will support the capture of APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MILLION TONNES OF CO2
over a 25-year carbon crediting period. This is the equivalent to fuel emissions from approximately 25,000 cars each year.
Plantings are happening all across Australia You can learn about the plantings and program here-
