On the weekend we make … COOKIES! These are so easy to make, require just a handful of ingredients, are free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and eggs, and are super delicious. A friend who is staying with us right now said they’re the best cookies I’ve ever made and I also made a few…
Sweet Treats & Snacks
No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Brownies
I saw a recipe for Decadent Coconut Brownies on My Relationship with Food – an amazing blog (and recipe book!) that I love, by Lisa Roukin. I knew as soon as we could entertain after quarantine I’d make her recipe and I did just that yesterday! I adapted the recipe a bit, based on what…
Chocolate Orange Cake Bites
For anyone who is a fan of my famous orange cake with chocolate ganache topping, this is for you! I decided to make that, but just add cacao and not do the ganache topping. I put it in a square tin instead of round like with the orange cake, and cut it into bites. The…
Savoury Flapjacks
Who doesn’t love a flapjack? Only problem is, they can be a bit buttery and sickly sometimes. More than that, in my house, there are very few ways I can get goodness into my kids who just refuse to eat anything that might contribute to one of their five (eight) a day, which means I…
Salted Double Chocolate Pecan Cookies
Well, after being woken up at 4am this morning (it’s usually 5am), I decided to make the most of it and be productive. So I made cookies at 7am while the kids ate breakfast. I have to admit, I usually stick to my oaty cookie recipe and use that base for any cookie recipe, just…
Easiest Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls
A friend of mine posted something about cinnamon rolls, and that was it. I had a hankering for them. I realised I’ve never made them before and wanted to find a way to use a traditional, easy recipe and make it free from refined sugar and gluten. I used this recipe as a base and…
Gluten Free Pear & Peach Crumble
Here we are in the midst of Covid-19 Lockdown. A whole article (probably more) can be dedicated to all the facets that make up that subject but this one is solely about food. Crumble, namely. Because when at home, make crumble. I’m not one for tinned fruit generally, as they tend to have sugary syrups…
Best Ever Oaty Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are a variation on my usual oat cookies like the lactation cookies. I used the base recipe and added chocolate chips because, when discussing what to bake this afternoon, Braxton decided he wanted chocolate chip cookies. You really can use this recipe and add anything you like, like ginger or chai spices. They’re so…
Gooey Vegan Brownies
I have quite a few brownie recipes on here but I realised that I have no recipe up for plain brownies as I’ve only ever uploaded pictures when I added flavours like gingerbread or chilli or orange. I actually added some doTERRA peppermint to these! Because I just love it and it’s coming up to…
Pumpkin Bread – GF DF SF V
In honour of International Food Day (which I’m told 16th October is) I bring you – drrrrrum roll please… THE world’s best pumpkin bread, just in time for Halloween and all those poor pumpkins that I hope won’t go to waste 🎃 The chocolate is optional, and I also add doTERRA wild orange because, well…
