Recipes

A few years ago I went to a fancy restaurant with work. We were ordered the chefs choice menu, and the started was a caramelised cauliflower soup, not something I would normally order. I tried it, and decided straight away that I had to find a similar recipe and try it for myself. There is no way you would guess that it’s dairy free and totally healthy, it is so creamy and delicious. It is a regular now, so tasty! Bonus if it matters to you, it is low carb, and the addition of the vinegar, as well as making it delicious, helps with your blood sugar response.

Broccoli, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, is a nutrient-dense powerhouse that offers numerous health benefits. This recipe is a delicious way to include it in your diet

This pie is a great way to get some comfort food, cozy winter vibes while totally nourishing your body. Yum!

I love a good pumpkin soup to warm you on a cold winters day!

I love these crackers! So simple to make and once you have the ingredients it’s actually super affordable, but full of nutrients. These seeds are also a great source of fibre, protein, healthy fats, folate, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc, all things essential for a healthy running body. Top with some hummus, your favourite cheese, some avocado and tomato, or your favourite topping for a great snack or even a light meal.

This baked salmon and quinoa dish is simple and delicious, what more could you want from a meal!

Summer rolls or fresh spring rolls as they’re also known have become a real favourite in our house. Easy to make, delicious and so good for you, what more could you want!

I love a good hummus! And I have recently been reminded how easy it is to make. And you get to make it exactly how you want it. Bonus! It’s great on crackers, in sandwiches or wraps, and even on a salad.

Chickpeas are awesome as a plant based source of protein, as well as fibre, iron, vitamin B6 and magnesium. Plain hummus is great but how good are sun-dried tomatoes!! Definitely takes the flavour to the next level.

I’m a big fan of a chocolatey treat, and an even bigger fan when it’s mixed with fruit, and I know it’s in a form that’s nourishing my body. This recipe is super decadent and you really don’t need a lot to feel satisfied.

I don’t know about you but I love a good banana bread! Toasted with lathers of butter or a dairy free alternative it’s definitely soul food! This one only contains the sugar from the fruit without loads of added sugars, plus with the addition of the chia seeds we’re increasing the fibre to help us feel full faster and help feed the good gut bugs. So good!

How good are bliss balls when you’re needing a pick me up on the run. These are super delicious with the addition of real chocolate!

This black bean brownie is a definite goodie. I had a friend over for a visit today and she had to leave with the recipe, so I decided you also need to know it too! You can also top it with all sorts of goodies. Frozen berries (or fresh if they’re in season) are amazing! Nuts are delicious. Adding some extra chocolate is pretty great. For the chocolate I like using Whittakers chocolate and chopping it up so you get a great mix of bigger chinks and tiny bits. Delicious. I like to make double and freeze some of it once cooked.

Personally I think nothing beats raspberries for the taste of summer. Maybe it takes me back to the days when my parents owned a raspberry farm. Bowls and bowls of fresh raspberries for a good part of the summer. Bliss! Even with 20 acres of raspberries we found you couldn’t get sick of the taste of them, but you could get sick of the sight!

This sounds a wee bit weird I know, but bear with me, this pea pesto is delicious! Great on a cheese platter, on crusty bread, crackers, or even stirred through pasta or a salad like basil pesto. I’m always looking for ways to get more plants in my diet and this is a goodie.
