Roasted Vegetable Pasta (Gluten Free) with RawSpiceBar Chipotle Spice Mix

November 21, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I was recently sent this month’s spice collection by RawSpiceBar. I’d never tried their spice mixes before so thought I’d give this one a go and added their Chipotle Salt spice mix to a roasted vegetable pasta, to make a normal everyday meal a bit more exciting. It tasted amazing and what I love about…

Quinoa with Lentils, Butterbeans and Vegetables – Vegan dinner

September 26, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I can’t take credit for this one; my husband made it. He has really got into this way of life over the past year or so, especially since having Braxton. It used to be something he was happy for me to do and would eat what I cooked because, well, it was yummy so he…

Pea & Edamame Fritters (for baby led weaning and generally humans who like food!)

July 26, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

You all know how much I love my weekly Abel & Cole organic food delivery and last week, I got a bag of peas in their pods which was such fun. I also had some edamame in the fridge so decided to add them and make some fritters as they are great for baby led…

Mint Chocolate Energy Balls & Some Info On Essential Oils

July 22, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’m loving my essential oils at the moment – I’ve really been getting into EOs since finding that Frankincense helped my postpartum arthritis flare as it’s such a great anti-inflammatory. I made a Frankincense oil rub for my joints by mixing it with coconut oil (this is called using a carrier oil to dilute the…

Double Decker Banana Cake

July 7, 2016 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

It has taken a while, but I have definitely perfected my banana cake recipe (it’s slightly different to my banana bread) although I seriously underestimate my amazing new oven and every recipe seems to need 5 minutes less than in my old oven so the sides are very slightly overdone. I wanted to make this…

Orange, Cardamom & Fig Cake

June 27, 2016 by theorganicspoon 5 Comments

  I have been making a gluten / dairy / refined sugar-free chocolate orange cake for years and it’s a favourite of my husband and his family. It’s the dessert they request from me most often. I’ve recently discovered my love for cardamom in cakes and I thought, what tastes go better together than orange and…

Nutty Brownies with White Chocolate Topping

February 29, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I needed something indulgent for my birthday this week and what is more indulgent than a chocolate brownie with a white chocolate topping? I had never actually used raw cacao butter as a topping and I didn’t know how it would solidify on top of a brownie but I gave it a go and was…

Healthy “Oreos”

February 24, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

  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….

White Chocolate and Flaxseed Blondies

February 3, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I love an afternoon snack with a matcha latte, and especially as I’m breastfeeding, I need extra energy but I have to make the effort to eat healthy snacks with great nutrients in them so I added flaxseeds to this one for omega 3 essential fatty acids – essential when breastfeeding. These went down a…
