Organic Spelt Soda Bread

April 16, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I love bread! There, I said it. Who doesn’t? When you try to live a healthy lifestyle you can’t really eat many breads because they all have so many preservatives in them, as well as other nasty ingredients. As you all know from my previous few posts, I’ve started weaning my baby, and although I…

Overnight Chia Oats with Strawberry Compote

March 31, 2015 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

Overnight oats is this easiest thing to make and it makes such a nice change from the usual breakfast. You can also do all sorts of flavours and toppings so it never gets boring. Get a good batch of organic, gluten free oats, some almond milk, and some fruit and nuts and you’re ready to…

Raw Caramel & Puffed Quinoa Krispie Treats

March 27, 2015 by theorganicspoon 2 Comments

Yesterday I posted our Chocolate & Puffed Quinoa Krispie Treats and today I thought I’d try the recipe with caramel instead of chocolate, using our Raw Caramel Recipe, and they are divine! Again using quinoa instead of Rice Krispies for gluten free, organic, protein-filled goodness. Ingredients 1 x Raw Caramel recipe 2 cups puffed quinoa pops…

Valentine’s Pancakes

February 12, 2015 by theorganicspoon 2 Comments

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…

Chai Ginger Snap Cookies

February 10, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I love the flavour of my vanilla chai tea from Pukka, and I used it when I made my healthy pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving and it worked a treat so I thought I’d use it for these cookies. The gingery taste is so yummy to me, and as a true Brit, the first thing I…

Chocolate ‘Nice’ Cream & Overnight Oats Breakfast Parfait

February 7, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Oh how I love a breakfast parfait. It’s so important to get your protein in in the morning, I’d say especially if you’re a veggie but it’s for anyone really. It’s the most important time of day to have a good protein intake so most of my breakfasts are packed with plant-based protein. I see…

No-Fry Vegan Falafel

January 28, 2015 by theorganicspoon 3 Comments

The chickpea, ladies and gentlemen, making yet another appearance. They’re just so bloody versatile! Yesterday I made cookies with them, last week hummus, today falafel. Where I come from, falafel are fried in oil (where I come from just about everything is fried in oil!) but here at Two Kitchens we’re about healthy, nutritious food…
