Chocolate, Banana & Coconut Pancakes
So Pancake Day is upon us which for some might just be a standard day – I mean, who DOESN’T like pancakes?? To be honest, which might come as a surprise, I don’t actually make them as much as I’d like to so when The Groovy Food Company got in touch about re-creating their breakfast […]

Say hello to Mokhado’s Avocado Oil, “your new kitchen and cooking staple”. You may be a big fan of this cold-pressed extra virgin type of oil, or thinking, what on earth is oil made from avocado? Either way, this product offers loads of benefits both in terms of being so versatile in the kitchen as […]
Banana Blueberry Loaf
As much as I love creating my own recipes, I’m always on the lookout to be inspired and try out existing ones. Bananas are one of my staples when it comes to healthy baking as they add a natural sweetness and moisture, meaning you can cut down on fat and sugar in the recipe which […]
Chocolate, Raspberry & Beetroot Cheesecake

As if I needed any kind of excuse to share another chocolate recipe… Thanks to Seed & Bean for a recent delivery, which included a bar of their sensational Raspberry & Vanilla White Chocolate, I thought I’d make use of pretty pink colour in a Valentine’s themed recipe. Combined with a no-bake oaty base and […]

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]
