Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
On this Foodie Friday, I wanted to make a simple sweet for a friend’s birthday. I am loving baking with cacao of late, so apologies, here is another chocolatey recipe!! Mmm mmm! I love adding walnuts into baked treats. They add an amazing taste and texture, and have many healthy benefits. They have good quantities of […] Read more…
For this week’s Foodie Friday, I am looking at the humble lemon, and am giving you a tasty, super easy, no bake slice recipe which I made up recently. I have struggled to post lately because I haven’t been well, so I apologise for my silence! Lemons (and other citric fruits) are considered the lowest fructose […] Read more…
Chia seeds are amazing little things. They can be used as a gelatinous gel when soaked in water to replace eggs in baking, in smoothies to make them thick, as crusts and coatings, in puddings for a healthy twist, in breakfasts for an extra hit of nutrients…so many options for such tiny seeds! They are tasteless, […] Read more…
Good afternoon! Happy Foodie Friday! Yes, I know. It is Saturday. Oops!

With the wet weather recently, I have fancied a spiced fruity teacake! After an unsuccessful search with Mum one day for an open café that sold cake I could tolerate, I decided to sit at the kitchen bench and create one. This cake is moist, gooey and tropical! It is delicious and decadent warm, and great cold! Spiced […] Read more…
I very often talk about the fantastic breakfast I eat daily (and sometimes twice a day!), and have mentioned the basis of it on this blog before. Hence, I can’t believe it that I haven’t actually gone into detail about it on the blog!! So here it is; you are in for a treat! This […] Read more…
You can probably tell, I love to bake, and I love the ease of cookies! This week, I wanted to make a treat that is packed with nutrition, so healthy that I could eat it for breakfast without guilt, and that was super easy to whip up! This is what I developed…a choc banana quinoa […] Read more…
Happy Hump Day! You have made it to Wednesday; the weekend is on its way! This, of course, has no relevance to me, as I have been too unwell to work since November, but I know a lot of you will be celebrating that you are over halfway!! With my body at the level of […] Read more…
