Chewy Oat & Seed Granola Bars -Gluten & Refined Sugar Free!
I love chewy, oaty granola bars. I love the flavours, the textures, taste and the convenience but what I don’t love is the mile long ingredients list! I mean what the hell are mixed Tocopherols? Who wants to eat Maltodextrin or Palm Kernel Oil- frankly it makes a scary read, especially when these are considered…

Quitting Alcohol & Super Banana Berry Smoothie Recipe
So I finally decided to kick the drink! I don’t like to use the term ‘give up’ as I firmly believe that I’m doing quite the opposite. Giving up insinuates going without and by quitting alcohol I won’t be missing out, instead think my life is going to be so much better! Alcohol isn’t good…

My (Skinnier) Pad Thai
I feel I need to start by saying this recipe is by no means authentic. I probably shouldn’t even be calling it a Pad Thai but hey that’s the beauty of freedom of speech. It is a great, tasty way to pack a lot of vegetables and lean protein into your midweek meals. In Asia…
Mini Christmas Cakes with Spiced Rum & Almond Buttercream
If your family and friends are anything like mine I’m sure you’ll find that Christmas cake tends to divide opinion.
