A Lunchbox Filler. Do your kids like sushi? Unfortunately my kids don’t and they’ve picked up my dislike for it. I’m saddened by this as sushi is really healthy, filling and nutritious. Perfect for growing little bodies. That’s why I’m really happy to have discovered cucumber sushi. It takes on the concept and uses flavours…

Cranberry Couscous Salad
Honestly, it’s quick and simple! I don’t know about you but I get bored with the same carbs – potato, pasta or rice. Don’t get me wrong, they are great and you can get quite creative with them. You’re only limited by your creativity. However, sometimes you just need something a little different. That’s where…
Simple Pumpkin Soup
A family staple recipe. Ask any mum if they make pumpkin soup and I’m sure the answer will be yes. It’s a meal that graces many dinner tables during winter. It’s also a meal that frequents a cafe’s menu too. With it being so incredibly popular, of course, we have our own version we make…
Garlic Brussels Sprouts
The Cinderella of all vegetables. Over the decades, brussels sprouts have been so incredibly misunderstood. They’ve long been cast aside as a lame bitter vegetable hated by kids and adults alike. I grew up with mum serving these for dinner. She would boil them and serve them as is. Naked. It was quite unappealing to…
Charcoal Banana Bread
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…
Chickpea Salad
Full of crunch, colour & flavour. I love salads all year round. I mean, why limit salads just to the warmer days of the year? sometimes you just need to balance out the heavy stews, casseroles and pastas you have during winter with something lighter. What I love about many salads is the chance for…
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. Reaching for nuts all the time is problematic – they’re full of fat and calories you don’t necessarily want! Chips or potato crisps (depending…
Basic Pasta Sauce
No added sugar. Pasta sauces aren’t all created equal. You might think that from the sauces you buy at the supermarket. Some are spicy, others are loaded with herbs with everything in between. What most of them include is added sugar. For those that know me, I hate added sugar in pasta sauce. That’s why…
