Chai Spiced Baked Oatmeal

February 26, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Porridge, overnight oats, oat smoothies, banana oat loaf, oaty bites, oat cookies, granola, flapjacks – not much you can’t do when it comes to variation with oats. And now I bring you baked oatmeal. Whatta brekkie! Y’all know I love my chai flavours so I threw some cardamom, cinnamon and saffron in there and topped…

Guest Blog: Turmeric and Fish Oil: An Anti-Inflammatory Match Made in Heaven?

March 7, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

What follows is a guest blog by Water for Health. As someone who came through rheumatoid arthritis naturally, clean, filtered water, turmeric and fish oils were all things that contributed greatly to my remission, but their quality is of paramount concern – you can’t just get any old supplements – which is why I was…

Vegan Chocolate Frosted Brownies

August 30, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Is there anything more satisfying than an indulgent chocolate brownie? How about when you know that said brownie is free of refined sugar, gluten, wheat, grains, dairy, eggs, soya and preservatives? Sound good? How about if I tell you that they are SUPER easy to make? Sold? Great! Get baking! Surprising though it may sound,…

Zucchini Bread – GF, DF, SF

August 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Zucchini Bread has a much better ring to it than Courgette Bread, don’t you think? Maybe you think that ‘Courgette’ sounds nicer, and more French, than Zucchini? But after years of deliberating, I have decided that I prefer ‘Zucchini’, despite the fact that I am British and should be calling it courgette. Well, I’ve never…

Epic Vegetarian Portobello Burgers

July 17, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Do these vegetarian or vegan portobello burgers look amazing or what?? I mean, who needs meat! They are vegetarian but you can make them vegan by forgoing the halloumi. As you know, we don’t really do dairy in this house but we do have the odd bit of halloumi cheese every so often, especially in…

Homemade Children’s Toothpaste

June 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’ve been battling with myself on making my own toothpaste for so long. You see, I make so many of my own products (surface sprays, perfumes, face serum, body cream – the list goes on) that I really wanted to draw the line at toothpaste. Aside from the fact that I couldn’t be bothered, it…

Chocolate Truffle Hearts

June 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

There is nothing inside these chocolates that makes them ‘truffles’ necessarily, it’s just that the mixture is so decadent that when it sets thickly – as it does in the heart-shapes moulds I have because they’re so deep – it honestly tastes and feels like Belgian chocolate truffles melting into your mouth, and yet totally…

Rose Pistachio Chocolate Bark

June 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

There is nothing more satisfying than taking a bite out of a chunk of chocolate, and indeed nothing more satisfying at all than knowing that that chocolate is made of only pure, natural, healthy ingredients than not only are not detrimental to your health, but are in fact beneficial to your health. I usually make…

Simple Chia Pudding with Berry Compote

January 30, 2015 by theorganicspoon 2 Comments

I keep trying to spread a message about breakfast… it really isn’t very hard to make nutritious, delicious, simple breakfasts for the whole family in order to be able to bin the horrible processed cereals. It can be very daunting when embarking upon this lifestyle, we think it’s going to be really hard but making…
