Vegan Sweet Potato Patties

January 18, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

These sweet potato patties are simply to-die-for. They are healthy, nutritious, free from gluten and dairy, are vegan, and are also an excellent choice for baby-led weaning. They are also pretty simple to make. I made a huge batch hoping they’d last a few days but we managed to polish them off between dinner and…

Thursday Night Pasta

January 30, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s tradition in most Jewish households to have a big family dinner on a Friday night. It’s kind of like our version of a Sunday roast! It’s wonderful; we get together with all the family and have amazing food. But of course it means preparation which usually begins on Thursday night – at least that’s…

Beetroot Mash

November 29, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

How gorgeous and bright does this look for a dull winter’s day? I just love the colours of nature and colours are a great way to entice children to eat vegetables. Beetroots are full of nutrients and are such an important vegetable. Beetroots are an excellent source of folte so a great food to eat…

Easy Chicken Rice Vegetable Dinner

September 17, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Easy, throw-it-together dinners that don’t take too long. We’re all looking for more of these aren’t we? Who has time mid-week to stand in the kitchen for hours making a gourmet meal? Certainly not us! I saw a TV chef making something similar once so I decided to put my own healthy stance on it…

Favourite Summer Salad

June 11, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

This is my ultimate go-to summer salad. It’s so easy and quick to make and works so well as a yummy, filling, nutritious meal to eat out in the garden on a warm evening. You can omit the halloumi if you are vegan, and you don’t have to stick to this recipe, you can add…

Pasta with Sweet Potato and Sage Sauce

February 16, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Raine and I seem to be so in sync with each other that even though we’re on other sides of the planet, we both made a variation of the same dinner tonight! So she has posted her Butternut & Sage Pasta and here is mine, made with sweet potatoes instead… People always ask me what…
