Double Decker Blondies – GF DF RSF V

December 21, 2020 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Well these certainly got a good response from my very first Instagram reel! And I promised there that if enough people commented I’d post the recipe so here it is! These are so utterly, mouth-wateringly delicious you will want to make them instantly! Of course, they’re also free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and eggs….

BLW Tuna Sweet Potato & Veg Croquettes

July 30, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Running out of ideas for baby led weaning meals? I made these a few days ago for Vida as she’s really starting to hate the spoon! I made easily transportable food for our holiday but she was having none of it and has now let me know that she plans on being an exclusive baby…

Lavender hot chocolate cacao

It may be June, but today felt like the middle of winter! Trust London to keep us on our toes with the weather… Plus, my kids kindly like to keep me up at night and I’m feeling like I need a lot of self-care. So tonight, after putting the kids to bed, I had a…

Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Seed Breakfast Biscuits

January 14, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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…

Chai Spiced Granola

October 16, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’m such a granola fanatic. Can’t stop making it – all sorts of flavours! You can see all my granola recipes here. The most popular one is the probably the classic maple and pecan, but I’m hoping this Chai Spiced Granola makes it up there on your lists too, it’s just delicious! I love chai…

Guest Blog: How Do I Know if I am Vitamin-Deficient?

May 8, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

A lovely chap called Josh Wardini recently got in touch with me. Josh is Editorial Contributor and Community Manager at Webmastersjury and he kindly sent me the document his organisation had created regarding the optimum amount of vitamins and minerals for humans and I was instantly bowled over by it. One succinct, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand document…

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…

Why I’m Steaming My Vagina – And Why I Want You To Do The Same!

January 23, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

My girlfriends and I have a Whatsapp group, whereby around 50% of the conversations involve them laughing at my “crunchy, new age” ways – in a totally supportive way, I might add. So it was only fitting that just before partaking in my first vaginal steam (we have always been very open about our menstruation,…

Vegan Thai Tom Kha Soup

January 5, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Ever since we went to Thailand five years ago, I’ve been making this soup. I wasn’t yet vegetarian when we were there so I used to make it with chicken, but amended it to be vegan (using tofu) more recently. I don’t know what it is about this soup, but when we were in Thailand I…
