NBC state that although “Bejo Zaden’s Australian subsidiary has run out of kale seeds, its U.S. unit … Continue reading

You say Houmous, I say Hummus
Houmous, hummus, houmous, hummus, you’ve got me guessing!?! 🙂 I know, I know, hummus may seem like a lazy recipe to be posting but I have my reasons: 1. I seem to be meeting more and more people who love hummus but have never made it and are astonished when I explain how easy it … Continue reading
Lightly Spiced Chickpea Falafels – Vegan and Gluten Free
Falafel has been my own little personal mission for the past few weeks! I love eating them but for some reason I’ve always just had shop bought ones, I wanted this to change – and fast! Shop bought ones are convenient and low fat but don’t have that satisfying, wholesome home made feel to them. … Continue reading

Traditional recipes are all vegetarian so I didn’t need … Continue reading

These cookies were inspired by a variety of Pinterest ideas, since making my banana flax pancakes I’ve loved the idea of such simple, natural snacks. These cookies are a long way from the chocolate chip cookies in brightly coloured packages you buy in the shops but they are so healthy, satisfying and good for a … Continue reading
Avocado Mash, Tomatoes and Asparagus on Garlic Bruschetta
This is messy to eat! But totally delicious 🙂 It’s kind of a ‘should i grab a knife and fork or should I use both hands and see how much i can fit in my mouth before it all falls on to my lap’ dish. I obviously went for the latter! Aaall over my lap … Continue reading

I understand they are playing on the fact that as an audience we have just accepted what they lead us to believe, that Christopher was the next doctor … Continue reading
