Unique Baby Names by Bex

Posted by Bex Gibbs on

So we’ve just had the most common birthday week in New Zealand. All those New Years Eve babies ;-)

For those of you who may be due with your beautiful babies sometime soon, I thought it would be a perfect time to share all of my favourite baby names! Or, if you're not expecting, maybe just add one or two options to your "future-just-in-case" list!

I’m a "Rebecca Jane" – a typical plain-Jane name. When I was going through high school there was about 4 other girls in my same year with the same name! So I took a liking to unusual but not too wild names. I wanted a name for our son that would be unique like him, but that wouldn't make it look like his parents were away in La La Land when they named him. 

Here I’ve compiled a list of unusual but not super crazy names that I like. I’ve included one for each letter of the alphabet to cover all options. Let me know your thoughts of any that you love also, or any that you may loathe?

Seriously Healthy and Delicious Raspberry Brownie

Posted by Bex Gibbs on

I have possibly the worst sweet tooth I know, if it were acceptable I’d eat brownies and biscuits for breakfast everyday. Recently while making a coffee, I was craving a delicious slice of brownie to accompany my caramel latte. But realising summer is only 5 months away (I know, tell me, where has the year gone?!) I decided that perhaps a sugar-loaded brownie wasn’t the best option!

I messaged my lovely friend Lauryce Moore, who is a nutritional wellness coach, and asked her to help me out with something that was healthy and nourishing, but still tasted amazing. She sent me this Raspberry Brownie recipe and it is seriously delicious on the lips and not so harsh on the hips! She’s also kindly let me share it with you all, so give it a try and let me know what you think. Enjoy, B x

 

Seriously Healthy and Delicious Raspberry Brownie

Base:

2 C Cashew Nuts

1 ½ C Desicated Coconut

1 ½ C Ground Almonds

¼ C Maple Syrup

¼ C Cacao Powder

2 Tbsp Chia Seeds

1 ½ C Dates (soaked)

 

Filling:

½ C Coconut Oil

¼ C Cacao Butter

¼ C Rice Malt Syrup

¼ C Raspberry Powder

¼ C Coconut Cream

1 Tbsp Chia Seeds

1 small handful Freeze Dried Raspberries

 

Topping:

½ C Coconut Oil

½ C Cacao Butter

½ C Cacao Powder

¼ C Maple Syrup

1 tsp Pure Vanilla

 

Method:

Base: Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until it becomes a dough consistency. Press into a lined tin. Freeze.

Filling: Melt cacao butter and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add rice malt syrup and whisk. Leave to cool. Add raspberry powder and stir. Add chia seeds and coconut cream and thoroughly mix until it becomes a jam like consistency. Spread over base layer. Crush freeze-dried raspberries and sprinkle over layer. Freeze.

Topping: Melt ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until it becomes glossy. Pour over the cake and top with coconut chips and freeze dried raspberries.

You can also keep some of the raspberry filling, add some coconut yoghurt and coconut oil to it until it turns into a thick liquid which you can drizzle over the topping. Yum!
