Here is the recipe for my Roast Carrot Humous which I made to go with my Beetroot Burgers. Homous is a very easy thing to make and how you make it and how much of each thing you add is very much up to you and your personal preference. Everytime I make it I make […]
I am back from a lovely 10 days in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, where I ate lots of delicious food and drank delicious Italian wine. However after 10 days of restaurant food I was really looking forward to cooking again and having home cooked meals. So for dinner last night I made Beetroot Burgers […]
Very excited to be on our holidays in beautiful Sorrento – eating lots of fresh fish and seafood and boosting my Vitamin D levels!!!
I made this Overnight Oats Base Recipe and so far have had them for three mornings with three different toppings – all healthy and delicious. They make a very quick and easy breakfast as once you make the base recipe, it lasts well in the fridge and all you have to do is add your […]
My vegetable garden is doing very well in this good weather, so I spent a morning preserving things I had a lot of. I had quite a few cucumbers to use up so thought I would pickle some of them in a sweet and sour liquid. These Sweet and Sour Cucumbers are delicious with cheese, […]
With this beautiful hot weather sometimes you just need to have an Icy Pole !!! My raspberry plants produce tiny raspberries, so I used them up by making these Icy Poles. They are very refreshing and a real treat on a hot day. The original recipe asked for lemonade, and I was surprised when looking […]
I am loving the roses in my garden and they are loving the sunshine!!! And sunshine is the catalyst for your body to make Vitamin D, one of the only vitamins which your body can actually make by itself. (Actually Vitamin D is a pro hormone rather than a Vitamin!) So while this good weather […]
Made this vegan Mexican Salad for lunch on Sunday. Fresh and delicious for a sunny al fresco lunch. It is also very easy to make and uses ingredients that most of us will have in the pantry and fridge. The quinoa and kidney beans provide a good source of protein, the avocado and olive oil […]
I LOVE Kimchi. I make it regularly and eat some almost every day. I also make sauerkraut and have been lately trying out other vegetables to ferment (more on this next time). The fermentation process encourages essential bacteria such as Lactobacilli to flourish in foods such as Kimchi. These probiotic strains are very important […]
This is one of my favourite breakfasts – grilled salmon with Guacamole on toasted Vegan Oat Bread. The salmon is rich in anti inflammatory Omega 3 Essential Fats, and is also an excellent source of Vitamin D, Protein and Vitamin B12. Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fats (like those in Extra Virgin Olive Oil). Oleic […]
