Hi, I’m Lucy.
I’m a mum to Otis & Mila and step-mum to Faith & Daisy – my chief taste-testers – and that’s my husband, Matt (also a taste tester), behind the camera taking all the photos.
I’m an accredited Nutritionist with post-graduate certificates in Paediatric & Childhood Nutrition, but honestly I’ve just always loved food. I’m passionate about nourishing the next generation, our little people, with real whole foods because I truly believe that if we feed them right, right from the start, they will have a happier and healthier future.
Everything I share here is the food I make for my family. There’s no fancy food-styling or studio kitchens, it’s just real food cooked at home with well-loved pots and pans and sinks piled with washing up – it’s what we eat, including all the burnt bits around the edges. My recipes are mainly gluten, refined sugar and dairy free – though I do love butter – but I’ll always offer recipe variations to accommodate your eating preferences too.
Through my work as a Nutritionist helping mums and their little ones, and the ramblings on my blog, I hope to educate, inspire and empower you to make healthier food choices for your children, without spending anymore time cooking or money on food than you already do. In fact, I encourage you to enlist the kid’s help in all aspects of food preparation – teaching them to cook is one of the best gifts we can give them, plus they’ll be more inclined to eat the food they’ve helped create!
In 2018, the boys and I swapped our city life for van life and spent the next 18 months travelling around Australia in an RV. An experience that was life-changingly good and one that threw a whole new set of healthy eating challenges at me. Life on the road taught me to refine my pantry and create nutritious and delicious recipes with simple ingredients – often limited fresh food – in a very compact van kitchen.
In 2021 I launched a range of bake-at-home nourishing snacks for kids, Well Fed Kitchen. Our mixes provide an easy snack alternative to the sugar-laden, healthy ultra-processed options, guaranteed to fill kids tummies, satisfy their hunger, provide a steady release of energy and some essential growing nutrients too.
When I’m not seeing patients in my virtual clinic, you can find me in the kitchen creating delicious recipes for various clients and my Sunshine Coast Kids Today column, ‘Kids in the Kitchen with Lucy Stewart’.
I’m so pleased you’re here! Together, we can create happier and healthier futures for our children.
