When you’re rocking a positive mindset, feeling confident in your own skin and full of energy, you feel invincible, ready to tackle whatever life throws at you. Many of us strive for this and aim to live life in this ideal state. However even if we reach it, this can sometimes be a temporary phase […]
Baked Eggs & Garlic Sweet Potatoes
I’m back again with a delicious new brunch recipe that’s quick and easy to make. This time I’ve used Strong Roots products – a relatively new brand offering an innovative, delicious and nutritious range of vegetables and plant based meals to help those with busy lifestyles cut corners in the kitchen and enjoy healthy food […]
Baby-Friendly Banana Bread & Butter Pudding
The other day I was thinking of what I could make Tom for a dessert that was easy and simple to make and uses ingredients we’d most likely have in. He absolutely loves bread and and bananas then I realised – BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING! I’ve always thought of it as a strange pudding to […]
Cardamom Coconut Rice Pudding & Stewed Plums
Ahh the great big sugar debate. It’s been a part of our diet for hundreds of years and remains a staple of our everyday lives but has come under so much scrutiny that it’s become the F word of the food industry. From being linked to obesity and diabetes and blamed for a dental decay […]
Baby-Friendly Banana Loaf
With a very active 9 month old baby who loves his food, things to snack on are becoming more of a feature in Tom’s diet. You might have seen a recent post with a healthy oatcake recipe which he’s been loving, but I wanted to step up and make a baby-friendly banana loaf (since he […]
Sambazon Acai Immunity Boosting Bowl
As a health foodie, smoothie bowls are one of my favourite things to make – to look pretty for Instagram and a delicious way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of whizzing up whatever fruits, veggies and superfood powders I have in, topped with a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruits or whatever else takes my […]
Superberries Mini Cheesecakes
With Spring officially here, it’s not long until flowers start to bloom and we have more colour in our life – that’s one of the reasons I love Spring so much after the dull, dreary winter. Bold, vibrant colours instantly make me feel happier which is why I’m loving the gorgeous new superfood product from […]
Tom’s Oatcakes
Time has flown by and my little boy is now 9 MONTHS OLD. He’s such a happy chappy who never sits still (no wonder he builds up such an appetite!) and has four teeth coming through nicely. Tom is loving his food and enjoying a combination of spoon-feeding and feeding himself finger foods. He loves […]
Strong Roots Easter Feast: Veggie Toad in the Hole
If you’re on the look out for quick, convenient and healthy foods when time is short but you still want to eat well, award-winning brand Strong Roots should be on your radar. Last year I worked with these guys (check out my Veggie Chilli-Loaded Sweet Potato Fries and Squidgy Avocado & Walnut Protein Brownies recipes!) […]
Weekly Food Shop at Aldi – Healthy Essentials
We all food shop, in one way or another: Some of us pick up things as and when throughout the week; some of us religiously do a weekly shop on a weekend, others may order online. Although I work with brands and get a lot of products sent to me regularly, creating numerous recipes every […]
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Bites
This has to be one of my most requested recipes – I wasn’t planning on it going on the blog but after I shared a (not very good) photo on my Instagram asking if anyone fancied it, the response was crazy! It was recently my husband James’ birthday and as part of the celebrations, we […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Muffins
Working with the wonderful wholefoods company Indigo Herbs, I’ve created a special Easter-themed recipe that also happens to be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contains no refined sugar – a nice break from all that chocolate and just as delicious 😉 These muffins are a twist on the classic carrot cake and are packed full of […]
Pear & Walnut Brownies
I eat nuts in some form every day. Peanut butter spooned onto something (or straight from the jar!), walnuts sprinkled over porridge, pecans baked into a recipe, or snacking on Brazil nuts – they are just very basic examples. Years ago I used to be afraid of the fat content but after reading up on […]
Rich Chocolate Coffee Tarts
I’m very aware that chocolate will be a strong theme this month with Easter coming up, so I thought why not jump on that bandwagon and embrace it?! As you know I create a recipe working with the wonderful Percol Coffee every month so with this celebration and also Mother’s Day in mind, I wanted […]
Cherry, Pear & Almond Cake
Mother’s Day is coming up and now the Spring is finally here (although the recent weather would say otherwise!), I wanted to celebrate by sharing one of my favourite cake recipes to date. Both my Mum and I love the combination of juicy cherries, sweet pears and nutty almonds so it was only right to […]
