I’ve been adding tahini to everything recently. My friend found it weird, saying, Isn’t it only for savoury dishes? NOOOOOOOO! Tahini is so versatile and probably one of the best possible ways to get calcium into little ones. I’ve been dipping pretty much all of Vida’s food in it! I wanted to make her some…
Sweet Treats & Snacks
Courgette Pancakes for Kids – GF, DF, SF, V
The ideal snack or meal accompaniment for baby led weaning. These pancakes are easy to make, use only a handful of ingredients, have the extra bonus of added vegetables and include no added sugar or even natural sweeteners, other than banana which adds a little bit of sweetness. They are also free from gluten and…
Nutty Puffed Rice Cacao Bites
My names for these things are getting more and more hilarious as time goes on. Honestly, I get a bee in my bonnet about using a certain ingredient (this time puffed brown rice) then just throw something together and hope for this best but then struggle to give them a fitting (and short enough) name!…
Orange, Rose & Cardamom Cake
Could this cake look any more delicious? I can promise you it tastes as good as it looks! I’m not always the best with perfect looking cakes but I think I did ok on this one! I used my Working Woman’s Chocolate Orange Cake base recipe (always a winner and so easy) and just added…
Vegan Marble Cake
I was hosting some friends for tea and fancied something different to banana bread alongside some brownies. I took a bit of a risk with this as I wasn’t too sure how it would turn out but it turned out really beautifully. Moist and delicious and looks great! It’s free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar…
Gooey Chocolate Orange Brownies
Following on from my Chocolate Orange Coconut Bites last week, I’m on a bit of a chocolate orange rampage at the moment! The flavours just go so well together, just ask Terry and Dawn French! You can use orange peel in this, or you could just use the wild orange essential oil. I used doTERRA…
No-Bake Salted Chocolate Orange Coconut Bites
In an attempt to connect more with my Instagram followers, I am making a conscious effort to put my own face on more of my posts, as opposed to just food and kids! So here I am with the most sumptuous pieces of deliciousness – chocolate orange coconut bites. They’re a bit like Rice…
Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Seed Breakfast Biscuits
It’s hard finding things to eat for breakfast when you don’t eat gluten or dairy (or refined sugar), and tend to keep it plant-based. My dear friend Denise, yoga instructor and essential oils guru, gave me the idea for these and I put my own little spin on her wonderful original recipe, and it’s given…
Cherry & Apple Crumble
Sorry I haven’t posted for a while. Baby Vida is 12 weeks today and has been keeping me busy! As you can imagine I don’t have much time to blog at the moment but I wanted to post this amazingly delicious and easy-to-make crumble recipe for you all to try. It takes no time at…
How To Make A Chocolate Construction Birthday Cake
We celebrated Braxton’s 3rd birthday this weekend – a week early as my due date is on his birthday (what timing!). We weren’t even sure we’d make it to 39 weeks as things seemed to be moving but I’m really glad that we did, for Braxton’s sake, so that he could have a special day…
