I love coming across new brands on social media and when Yum & Yay popped up on Instagram their colourful branding caught my eye. Showcasing a selection of milled seeds available in four varieties to help top up your daily intake of essential nutrients, I loved the sound of them and was excited to receive […]

Autumn Chocolate Porridge Bowl
Who doesn’t love porridge? I mean, whatever age you are or flavours you like best, let’s be honest, you can’t beat a bowl of warming oats. Whether sweet or savoury, hot or cold, thick or runny, there are countless ways to serve the humble dish. Now we’re officially in October, I’m preparing for the autumnal […]
Dark Chocolate, Pear & Ginger Cake
Since Summer is slowly coming to a close, I’ve created this warming chocolate cake made with Montezuma’s incredible Spice It Up bar. ‘Tiny pieces of famous Chinese dragon ginger in dark chocolate. It doesn’t get much better!’ says co-founder Simon Pattinson, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually didn’t used to be a fan of […]
Pear, Ginger & Chocolate Coffee Cake
For all you coffee lovers, if you haven’t already, you must check out the slick new Percol Coffee website. Full of inspiration, beautiful flatlays and more about the brand’s wonderful offerings, it’s an honour to be working with these guys on creating #IndulgingInnocently recipes every month! With Christmas fast approaching (SAY WHAT) I thought I’d […]
Spiced Apple & Almond Butter Blondies
You may have seen quite a few posts and recipes recently in collaboration with king of nut butters, Pic’s. Last month I shared Spiced Pumpkin & Caramel Brownie Bites; this time it’s all about pairing apples, mixed spices, pecans and of course their deliciously smooth almond butter in this healthy blondie recipe. Another winner of […]

Smokey Sausage Autumn Casserole
I’m really into anything with a smokey, rich BBQ flavour right now, so when Jack Daniels got in touch about working on a winter warmer recipe using their sauces, this came at the right time for my cravings. Available in five flavours, they are all the perfect addition to any cook’s store cupboard and work […]
How To Stay Happy & Healthy This Autumn
If Instagram is anything to go by, autumn is well and truly here – colourful leaves, pumpkin spiced everything and cosy knits fill our social media feeds. However shorter days, colder temperatures and a craving for comfort food can have an impact on our health, which is why it’s so important to try and keep […]
Healthy Chocolate-Smothered Spiced Protein Cakes
These spiced, spongey cakes of goodness smothered with a ‘rich chocolate’ sauce are one of my favourite creations to date. I could cook and bake with both pumpkin and butternut squash all day; their versatility and ability to be whizzed up, added to sweet recipes and resulting in a deliciously moist and soft texture while […]

Apple, Berry & Cinnamon Protein Crumble
Autumn signals comfort food, but this doesn’t have to mean stodgy, fatty and calorific meals and sweet things. Using PhD Nutrition’s delicious Protein Flapjack+ bars as part of a crumble topping, this low sugar, high protein dessert is packed full of complex carbohydrates and makes a delicious post workout refuel to help aid lean muscle […]
Spiced Pumpkin, Peanut Butter & Oat Squares
Another creation especially for Whole Earth Foods, I was keen to make something seasonal while also providing key nutrients and properties to refuel after an intense workout. I’ve been fitting in the Wonder-fuel Workout videos, led by Mark Wren, as part of my own fitness routine, and these 10 minute videos have really been making […]
Roasted Squash & Chickpea, Feta and Pomegranate Salad
I love warm salads in the colder months, and this particular recipe combines the wonderful warming flavours of cinnamon and paprika, used to coat roasted squash and chickpeas. Honestly, your kitchen will smell INSANE when they’re cooking. Coupled with kale, leeks, feta and pomegranate seeds, plus a dressing with my secret weapon ingredient: Urban Chutney (seriously, […]
Warming Squash, Paprika & Chicken Sausage Risotto
As we head into autumn, for me, risotto signals comfort food. High in carbohydrates, yes, but this version uses less rice and boosts up the protein content thanks to adding in succulent chunks of MuscleFood chicken sausages. Ok so, chicken…sausages? Honestly, don’t knock them until you’ve tried them. Made from 100% chicken breast meat and […]
