Posted on May 30 2017 These Easy Crunchy Mustard Herb Flatbreads are gluten free and very quick & easy to make. They’re lightly mustard flavoured (just the right amount!) and brushed with olive oil and herbs when they’re fresh out the oven. Made with a gluten free flour of your choice, wholegrain and hot english mustard, baking…
This Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Bread is super moist, extremely banana flavoured, with pops of pecan nuts and happy bursts of dark chocolate (sugar free) which will make you feel warm and fuzzy all over! PLUS it’s made with wholewheat flour, cornflour, honey (oh yes, sugar FREE), olive oil, eggs and vanilla essence. It’s SO much more than delicious in my book – it also adds goodness to your diet!
It is absolutely time to eat some Wholewheat Pecan Date Chai-Tea Ring!! Any time of day is a good time for this scrumptious, yet HEALTHY sweet bread that is filled with dates, cashews and pecans, and topped with a yoghurt drizzle. Now, you may be thinking, “That doesn’t look like bread??!” And I feel you, but it really is a tea loaf disguised as a tea RING, which in my mind means it’s still a bread. A sweet bread – yes – a tea ring bread!
It’s a healthy, spicy, slightly sweet loaf of Honey Butternut Carrot Bread freshly baked from scratch and so good you’ll want to make it again and again! No sugar, dairy or white flour in this recipe. Only wholesome goodness…which makes it the perfect breakfast / brunch bread, amazing for lunch boxes, to take to work, or a delicious anytime snack
Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, post-workout boost or whenever you like, this 5 Minute Spinach Apple Green Smoothie is the B.U.S.I.N.E.S.S! Made with baby spinach, cucumber (so fresh!), green apple, banana, orange juice and Greek yoghurt in just 5 MINUTES. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, FRESH (thank you cucumber!), light, and FULL of green goodness!!
A truly yummy combo, perfect for all seasons and all occasions – This Balsamic Mushroom Bacon Spinach Salad is a versatile salad that looks just as good as it tastes! It’s a unique pairing of flavours and I have to admit, I threw this salad together really quickly after wondering what I could make with the baby spinach and mushrooms that I had in the fridge…
Is that not one FIIIINE looking stew?? This Baked Chicken Barley Kale Stew not only looks fine and dandy, but the flavours and aromas of this stew are phenomenal. Especially on a chilly, rainy day when all you want to do is warm up by a crackling fire with a giant blanket and a big bowl of something comforting and steaming hot.
I am totally, 100% serious, yes! Zesty Orange Honey Layer Cake! Layered with none other than the fluffiest whipped cream, crunchiest chopped almonds, and drizzled with the most goldenest of golden honey. This is the moistest, most tasty – zesty and orangey – sponge cake that you will ever eat.
They’re cheesy, they’re bursting with fresh herbs, they’re break-apart SOFT & FLUFFY in the middle with a slight crunch on the outside. The melted, golden brown cheese on top brings another punch of flavour, and, well…they’re just the loveliest scones ever! I’m pretty sure moms’ everywhere will love these scones…And look at that! It’s Mother’s day on Sunday. Just sayin.
Let’s combine two of the all time greats…Fresh Homemade Lemonade and Strawberry Smoothie. Do they combine well you ask? Why, yes!! I’d say they combine gloriously, so pretty to look at and so very yummy in my tummy. Pink from the strawberries, just lemony enough not to overpower the smoothie flavours, with some sweetness from the bananas, and thick and creamy from the Greek yoghurt.
There’s nothing quite like a vegetable Thai curry to fill the belly, satisfy that curry craving and clear up the sinuses! The great thing about making it yourself, is that you can control all the flavours, spiciness and heat so that you get the exact combination that you love. A perfect recipe for having friends or family over for dinner…It’s easy to spice up with some green chillies or cool down with a little extra coconut milk.
I’m here to share with you today THE MOST INDULGENT CRUNCHIE I have ever made. A few heaped tablespoons of cocoa for rich, chocolatey flavour, a little coffee to further enhance the chocolate, some generous dollops of peanut butter for pea-nutty creaminess and a soft centre, a sprinkle of cinnamon to add a little spice and brown sugar and syrup for just the right amount of sweetness. The yumminess is just too much!!
A salad for ALL seasons…warm, comforting, full to the brim with healthy legumes, beans and yummy brown rice is just what Mother Nature ordered. Scattered with a generous handful of chopped chives and drizzled with one of my favourite salad dressings…this is a wholesome salad for the books!!!
Posted on April 27 2017 All your greens in one bowl with this Green Goddess Pesto Pasta Salad! I’ve always loved my greens and I can eat them any which way – cooked, raw, roasted, steamed, or in a delectable pasta salad fit for any occasion! I know some of you probably struggle a little bit to…
Do you love creamy scrambled eggs when you go out for breakfast? And when you make them yourself do they just not turn out the way you hope they will? A little too dry, dull in colour, and where did that yummy creaminess go?! I feel your pain, I struggled to make perfect scrambled eggs for years! Until my Mamma showed me how to make them the right way (thanks Mom!), and they’re PERFECT every time using 4 simple steps!!
The bright golden-yellow colour of the sweetcorn, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with Paprika, one of my all time favourite spices to use on just about anything! All in all, these Charred Paprika Turmeric Corn Cobs couldn’t be better for you, or a more lovely dish to add to your lunch or dinner table!
These bowls are pretty irresistible (speaking for everyone who has ever tried them), no one has been disappointed yet! Quite the opposite in fact. Just imagine the tartness of the lightly charred plums with the sweet, caramelised honey – sticky, sweet & sour deliciousness in every bite. Coupled with the creamy, hearty oatmeal drizzled with a little coconut milk and sprinkled with cinnamon…
Got 5 minutes to spare? I highly recommend that you spend those precious moments making this super healthy, totally delicious hummus recipe that’s overflowing with goodness, gorgeous green colour and oodles of flavour!
Made with avocado, fresh basil, tinned chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and salt – all you do is throw everything in a blender, pulse it up until it’s nice and smooth, and you’re DONE!
These Oatmeal Peanut Butter Banana Muffins taste CRAZILY YUMMY and are packed full of good-for-you ingredients!! Made with bananas, olive oil, egg, vanilla essence, baking soda, honey, white flour, oats, peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, mixed spice and ginger. How could they not be delicious with all those yummy ingredients?! AND they only take 10 minutes to prepare, and 30 minutes to bake. That’s an all round great baking situation right there.
If you need a meal that satisfies all the senses, is healthy AND is ready in mere minutes then this is the wrap for YOU!!
The perfect entertainment food in my book. Who wants to spend ages standing in the kitchen once your guests have arrived and everyone is chatting and having fun? I’d rather be able to prepare everything beforehand, and then be as involved in the gathering as everyone else.
