A vegan recipe that’s a little different. The secret to making super flavoursome banana bread is overripe bananas. Not just a little blackness on the skin. I’m talking skins that are completely black. They will look quite gross but trust me… the flavour they add into your banana bread is amazing. I have a few…

Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
Snack alternative to peanuts. I don’t know about you but drinking anything alcoholic gives me the munchies. I crave a snack of some kind with a glass of wine or cider.

Blender Banana Bread

Healthy Seed Crackers
So easy, so healthy! If you had told me a year or two ago that I’d be making my own healthy seed crackers, I wouldn’t believe you! We all make cakes, biscuits, pizza dough and even pasta from scratch. But we buy crackers, not make them. Why is this? I stumbled upon this recipe a…
Coconut Sunflower Cookies
Weekend baking with the kids. We had a bit of an overcast day last weekend and the kids were starting to run amuck inside the house. My living room was looking more like a second-hand toy store than a place all of can relax in. I decided to whip the kids into action and get…
