This is vegan heaven on a very colourful plate! When you’re meat-free AND gluten-free, it can often be hard to find foods that tick all the boxes. As I’m suffering a postpartum arthritis flare at the moment, it really is so important for me to tick all these boxes: Gluten-free Dairy-free Meat-free Adds nutritional value…
Buckwheat
Apricot & Coconut Buckwheat Granola
I’m obsessed with granola and have been making yummy granola with oats for years (check out the recipe here) but I’ve never made it with Buckwheat before and I’m not sure why. It’s much lower GI and more easily digestible and despite having ‘wheat’ in its name, it’s not wheat at all, it is in…
Healthy “Oreos”
My son loves Oreos, so I wanted to come up with a healthier version for him. Buckwheat is gluten-free and is considered a wholegrain, even though it is not in fact a grain. It lowers cholesterol and blood pressure; contains antioxidants and easily digestible protein; is high in fibre and helps to combat diabetes….
Broccoli & Pea Buckwheat Pasta
Easy dinners, easy dinners. It’s all about easy dinners that you can just throw together quickly. Usually the meals that are considered ‘easy’ or ‘convenient’ are not particularly healthy so I’m always trying to invent new ones to add to the website so I can go back to them when I am short of time….
Roll Up Maca Crepes
This morning I just needed pancakes, and energy. So I concocted this new recipe using ingredients that would give me energy, including maca powder. It’s basically the ‘original’ healthy caffeine. Just gives you that boost you need without the dip in energy later on that caffeine does to you. I also used almond butter for…
Valentine’s Pancakes
These look like they’re filled with some sort of nasty artificial colouring, right? Wrong! Can you guess what the pink colour is? OK I’ll tell you… it’s beetroot! I love my healthy pancake recipe but I wanted to make something extra special for Valentine’s Day without using artificial colouring and all the colourings and flavours we…
Buckwheat Blueberry & Poppy Seed Muffins
Firstly, we both want to thank you all for the amazing response we’ve had to our blog after only going live yesterday – we appreciate it so much! I really went out on a limb here today. I wanted to make blueberry muffins for my husband for the weekend as he loves them but I’ve…
Zucchini & Cauliflower Gluten Free Pizza Base
Mmmm pizza! It’s taken a while and a few failed experiments but I’ve finally mastered the gluten free pizza base and here it is… I had it in my head that I wanted to make the base with courgette (zucchini) and cauliflower, so if your kids (or husbands!) don’t like veggies you can always hide…
Plain Buckwheat Pancakes
I’ve always had an obsession with pancakes, even, I’m ashamed to say, the super unhealthy stacks of American style pancakes. So recently, I’ve set about trying to make the perfect healthy pancakes using buckwheat flour and I think I’ve perfected them! Buckwheat flour is amazing because, although you may think buckwheat is a grain, it…
