CONNECTING YOU
WITH FOOD

The Health At Every Size (HAES) approach might not be what you think that it is. HAES encourages exercising, learning about good nutrition and selection of whole foods, and it focuses on re-learning behaviours to support good health.

If you are stuck for ideas for gluten-free snacks, worry no longer. Healthy gluten-free sweet and savory snacks can be made at home. Banana pancakes, fruit smoothies, popcorn or guacamole are fast to make with little clean-up time afterwards.

Roasted chicken thighs paired with grapes and caramelised shallots – so delicious! Serve on a creamy pumpkin/potato mash and top with feta and rocket.

These sausage rolls use gluten-free cream cheese pastry which gives a lovely crisp. Pork sausages can be substituted with any other good quality sausages that are gluten-free such as chorizo or chicken and fennel. Serve with a fruity chutney and watch them disappear off the plate!

Are gluten-free products and snacks healthy and good for us? Yes, they might not have gluten, but are we aware of the fillers and additives in them? Also, does "healthy" have the same meaning for the food manufacturer as it has for the consumer?
