Food, Thermomix & a Healthier Me
Life isn’t about dieting — it’s about creating habits that support your health long term.
After 5 years with WW, I decided to move on. With no local workshops and too much uncertainty, it no longer felt right for me. My age, blood test results, and conversations with my doctors made it clear: WW just wasn’t cutting it anymore.
As I approach 60, I’ve learned how vital good fats and essential oils are for women’s health. I needed a new approach — one that’s realistic, nourishing, and sustainable.
I’ve now shifted to calorie counting, and yes — it’s working! I’m feeling better, eating better, and still using my Thermomix almost every day to make it all easy and delicious.

We had a delicious dinner tonight, courtesy of @recipe_tin`s Creamy Fish on Potatoes recipe by Nagi! 😋 Our Thermomix cookware allowed for easy one-pan cooking. The meal`s creamy and crunchy elements complemented each other perfectly. We paired it with steamed vegetables, a classic favourite. Highly recommended! To make it my own, I reduced the butter, opted for light cream, and used half the EVOO. The meal`s total calorie count was 467.
Exploring Melbourne`s gems with great friends - lunch at South Melbourne market, shopping, and dinner at Hardware lane with dessert @adozenadozen.mel Ending the day with a bang at Docklands for #firelightfestival - amazing ♥️
A 3 year old`s dream birthday unfolded yesterday, complete with a Paw Patrol cake, a cool new 4x4 ride on, and wonderful presents 🎁 friends and family. Happy Birthday darling Ivy. So glad you had a wonderful day ♥️♥️♥️
How are you already 3, Ivy Susan? 💕 Happy Birthday Gorgeous Girl! You are the absolute light of my life. You make me laugh, cry, smile, and feel a love that’s endless and deep. From the very moment you were born, I’ve been right by your side – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nanny4life, my big girl. I love you more than words can say. (And wow – those genes are strong in that last photo!) 💖
✨ Dinner tonight was a winner! ✨ We made Jamie Oliver’s Fantastic Fish Pie 🐟🥧 and it did not disappoint. Creamy, comforting, and full of flavour — this dish instantly took me back to childhood memories of Mum’s salmon kedgeree 💛
There’s something so nostalgic about a fish pie — the crispy golden top, the rich filling, the feeling of being wrapped in a warm food hug. Just what you need on a cold winters night.
If you’re craving comfort food that hits the spot, this is it. Thanks Jamie — you’ve done it again! 👏

I did use cooking cream, not double cream and cut back on the cheese but could I tell the difference-NO!

Today, the four of us – Chris & I, Sue & Roby – took a lovely stroll along the Geelong Foreshore and enjoyed a relaxed lunch at @sailorsrestgeelong.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather – the sun was shining, the air was warm, and there was such a sense of joy all around. Smiling faces, gentle waves, and the most stunning sunset on the way home… it was one of those simple, perfect days.
The last photo is little Ivy after her big adventure at the zoo with her beautiful Mummy. She became a pink crocodile for the day – and oh, was she proud of it! 💞 that face 🥹
Tonight’s dinner was the ultimate comfort food – Easy Cheesy French Onion Chicken Bake from Anna’s website. @feedmehealthy_annavandyken
It’s one of our all-time favourites – rich, full of flavour, and irresistibly delicious. That golden, cheesy top gets us every time! We always serve it with creamy mashed potatoes and a side of steamed veggies. Simple, hearty, and oh-so-satisfying. Comfort food done right. 💛🍽️ Calories: 500 for my meal. Anna’s Chicken 350 per breast.

A light dinner tonight after spending the day exploring Living Legends at Woodlands Historic Park in Greenvale. Enjoyed a lovely Devonshire Tea for lunch and a picturesque 8km walk around the property. Highlights included kangaroos 🦘the city skyline 🏙️ and wonderful friends. A great day out in nature. 😊

Wow 🤩 Anna’s PEACH & CHERRY CRUMBLES are next level! I split it into 4 serves so we can enjoy it all over again tomorrow 😍
When I first made this, I wasn’t sure the crumble would be enough for the fruit… but it was perfect. Now it is my go to dessert. Sweet and healthy and only 300 calories for a large serve.
Huge thanks to Anna for this beautiful recipe! It’s from her second book 💛✨ @feedmehealthy_annavandyken

Today was spent in the city at #mindbodyspirit - watching amazing people as #comicon and glorious food. Lunch @pjobriensmlb and dessert @adozenadozen.mel Gosh #melbourne you are simply amazing. What a brilliant city we live in
It’s been way too long since I made this Chicken, Spinach & Leek Risotto — and I forgot how much I love it! 💚🍚
I used to avoid it because WW had it super high in points, but after crunching the macros and calories myself, it actually stacks up really well:
✨ 322 cals
🍗 29g protein
🥑 20g fat
🌱 3g total carbs
I’m not on WW anymore, so can’t give you the points — but trust me, it’s so worth it. Comfort food done right! 🙌
