I literally love my freezer. There are days when I just know I won’t have the time to cook or am going to be far too tired to be able to string a coherent sentence together never mind think through how to make dinner. On these occasions I delve into my freezer stock. I almost […]
Carrot, Lentil and Coconut Soup
This is one of those soups you can knock up in a hurry from store cupboard ingredients, plus a few carrots. We nearly always have a few carrots floating around in the veggie rack that need using up. Lentil are low glycaemic index which means they can help to keep your blood sugars stable, your […]
Healthy Coleslaw made by a toddler, baby and dietitian.
Spiced Vegetable Moroccan Soup
The weather has turned distinctly chilly, so we’ve turned to soups for our lunches. I love soups as they really are easy to make, they can be an easy way to get vegetables and great nurtitious food into the family and they heat up the insides. This soup was a bit of an experiment, it […]
Sausage and Roasted Tomato Bake
This week my Archchi came to visit. This is my Sri-lankan grandmother, fondly known to the whole family as Archchi (granny in Singhala). She lives in London and has the greenest fingers of anyone I know. Years ago she had 2 allotments, now its just her garden that produces mainly vegetables, lots of vegetables. From […]
Low Fat, Slow Cooker Rice Pudding
I’ve become a bit of a rice pudding addict of late. There is something about that creamy goodness that just appeals to me, I love it cold, straight from the fridge, either on it’s own or with some fruit. I usually buy it, but a bit of a shopping failure meant the fridge was bare. […]
Turkey Meatballs fit for Lady and the Tramp.
We knocked these up recently as I felt we needed a little comfort food. I asked my little one what she wanted for dinner and she asked for Moussaka. We settled on meatballs, mainly as they were easier for a tired mummy to make and also as I thought she may enjoy helping me, turns […]
Rattatouille Recipe, my type of comfort food.
Rattatouille. There is something about it that just tickles my taste buds and makes me feel all warm inside. We usually grow a glut of courgettes in our garden so this becomes one of our courgette loving dishes and because it freezes well I always make a large batch. I know there are hundreds of […]
Healthy, Gluten Free, Wheat Free Banana, Yoghurt Muffins.
I’ll admit it, we bake with bananas a lot. They help reduce the amount of fat and sugar needed in baking and we often end up with a few over-ripe ones. Now no-one in our house eats over-ripe bananas, baking with them makes sure they aren’t wasted. If I don’t have time to bake then […]
Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Low Fodmap Tortillas/Wraps Recipe.
New toys…. getting a new breadmaker has sent me I’ll admit, a bit breadmaker-tastic. I made wheat free pizza base, normal pizza base, gluten free bread, normal bread and these tortilla wraps all in one weekend. Having chatted about Mexican food and sampled some Nacho’s recenltly I had a desire to make fajitas…. which turned […]
