These healthy, delicious oaty bars have to make you smile, packed full of fruit, seeds and with only 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp honey in the whole recipe, these really are a healthy alternative to a sugar laden flapjack. They are gluten free (as long as the oats are gluten free of course), wheat […]
Homemade Pizza vlog made with my Toddler
We all love a bit of pizza, in our house we make our own pizza – why? Well…. 1)I’m wheat intolerant, 2) It’s just healthier, 3) It’s so easy in our bread machine, 4) We can choose our favourite toppings. 5) My toddler loves cooking and this is one recipe she can almost do all […]
Gluten Free, Wheat free Banana and Choc Chip Cake.
It’s been a hard few days….I fancied cake. Being a wheat intolerance, lover of all thing healthy, dietitian type, going to the shop was not an option. So I embraced the baking love and created this beauty. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure if it would work….but it did, the big bonus, it took […]
Roasted Beetroot Pasta, It’s Pink!
This weekend we went to the farmers market and I just couldn’t help but buy a bunch of large, large beetroot. They have sat looking at me from the veg rack for a few days and today I knew I needed to use them. But how? I knew roasting them would be ideal because of […]

Every now and again I get myself into a bit of a stressful state, life feels like it’s overtaking me, I have lists of things to do, nothing feels like it’s getting done and suddenly I realise I’ve no idea what we’re eating for dinner and am running low on food. DISASTER. You know that […]

Sri-Lankan Plum Chutney
We’ve had a right plum glut this year, after making much plum jam I decided something else was needed. We love a good chutney….along with cheese, fresh salads and maybe a little wine. For me a chutney needs to be thick, fragrant and a bit spicey, so here is my take on a chutney recipe, inspired by […]
We’re jammin’ Plum stylee
I love my house and I love my garden. We’re fortunate enough to have 2 ancient yet bountiful fruit trees, a greengage and a plum. All that fruit is amazing and super tasty, but it can be hard work knowing what to do with it all. Today was PLUM DAY. It’s a day I both […]
Frittata, Frattati, Frittato
Frittata. It’s a great word. Try playing around with it in your mouth. It lends itself to all kinds of twists and turns. In our house Frittata night usually means it’s been a busy day, the cook of the house is tired and something quick and easy is needed for dinner. This recipe is satisfying […]
Baking Banana Flapjacks – our first vlog!
