Steph was my first real blog-pal, my guide through the crazy FODMAP jungle, always there to help out. With her delicious recipes and dreamy pictures this curly beauty from Melbourne continues to show how easy a wheat free and fructose friendly diet can be on a daily basis.

Having always had a health conscious approach to eating, the transition, although challenging cutting out many foods, has actually been the best thing! It fuelled my passion to begin blogging and sharing my food experiences with others. I felt and still do feel amazing, and instead of dwelling on the limitations, I became more adventurous with those fructose free foods I can eat.<\/p>\n \u2018Morning Glory\u2019 or \u2018My Life Nightlife\u2019? <\/em><\/strong> When are usually on your feet? <\/em><\/strong> What\u2019s your morning routine? <\/em><\/strong> Coffee or tea or \u2026? <\/strong><\/em> Breakfast is…<\/em><\/strong> A perfect morning includes\u2026 <\/em><\/strong> Thank you Steph for your time and for giving is an insight into your precious morning hours! <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This interview\u00a0took place as part of the\u00a0“My Morning” interview series.

Good mornign Steph! Let\u2019s get to know you!<\/em><\/strong>
\nHello dear Fructopia readers, thank you Deniz for having me! My name is Steph of Friendly Little Kitchen and I was born and raised in the lovely Melbourne, Australia. By trade I am a marketer working full time in a large organisation, by heart I am a food lover and blogger at Friendly Little Kitchen. \u00a0Food plays \u00a0huge role in my life, with every great memory of mine connected in some way or another to food and the way it brings people together \u2013 cooking, eating and sharing\u00a0food with loved ones.<\/p>\n
\nHaving never been a morning person growing up, I never thought the day would come where I would say this… Morning Glory! I think I have officially made the transition to being a morning person, as these days I cannot wait for breakfast the moment my head hits the pillow.<\/p>\n![\"Interview](\"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/friendlylittlekitchen-fructopia-morning-routine-speltpancakes-04-682x1024.jpg\")
What\u2019s the first thing you do\/see, when you open your eyes? <\/em><\/strong>
\nUnfortunately, it\u2019s my phone! I would love to say something inspiring and beautiful here, but in reality, before anything else, I am usually woken by the quiet tone of my phone alarm.<\/p>\n
\nBetween 7 \u2013 8.00am, maybe 9.00am if I am lucky to have a Sunday sleep in.<\/p>\n
\nMy morning routine always starts the night before. Whether it\u2019s preparing my oats to soak overnight ready for the start of a working day, or mentally preparing the pancakes I will cook up the following morning, this routine pretty much begins straight after dinner. When morning comes, I know exactly what deliciousness I am in for. I often start with a glass of warm water and lemon or ACV, and prepare my breakfast. I\u2019m not one for wasting time and am often in a flurry to get ready for work or whatever the day ahead has in store. But when it comes to sitting down to eat, I make sure I press pause. Robbie and I sit and enjoy breakfast and a moment of
\nquiet together before the day really kicks in.<\/p>\n![\"Interview](\"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/friendlylittlekitchen-fructopia-morning-routine-speltpancakes-01-1024x682.jpg\")
If I don\u2019t eat <\/strong>…\u00a0, my day is over before it even started.
\n<\/strong><\/em>…a delicious meal in the morning…<\/p>\n
\nCoffee. I cherish my one cup a day (which must be consumed before 10am or else!).<\/p>\n
\nthe most motivating meal of the day.<\/p>\n
\nSteaming pancakes and an espresso shared with Robbie at home.<\/p>\n![\"Interview](\"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/friendlylittlekitchen-fructopia-morning-routine-speltpancakes-06-682x1024.jpg\")
What type of breakfast is sure to get you on your feet?<\/em><\/strong>
\nPancakes or waffles will definitely get me jumping out of bed in no time! My favourite pancakes at the moment are these fluffy spelt pancakes<\/a> you see in the photos. Recipe is here.<\/p>\n
