Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
Creamy banana filling, date toffee and chocolate. Sounds delicious, right?! I love banoffee, so it’s no real surprise that I’d eventually try to adapt it and make a recipe that is healthy, and dairy, gluten and egg free. Depending on your tolerance level, this can be fructose friendly too. And it’s me – I have […] Read more…
Hello! I got up recently and felt like making something in the kitchen. While I ate breaky, I had a think about what ingredients were in the cupboards and what I could create that was healthy and fast to make. I am currently trying to concentrate on my sugar intake for my health, so that […] Read more…
Snack balls, often called bliss balls, are fairly easy to come by. However, ready-made balls are expensive! Make them at home and you have a simple, comparably affordable, and nutritious snack to keep you going. I have posted two recipes for this type of thing previously, which you can read via these links (date-free balls and […] Read more…
Ginger biscuits are delicious. Am I right?! Every Thursday at the health recovery/pain management tai chi class I go to, there are ginger biscuits and tea to enjoy while we chat on our break. I watch on in envy, unable to eat the biscuits, but definitely still loving the tea! At Christmas, for the tai […] Read more…
Unbelievable but true…it’s time for a January wrap up! I’ve not done monthly wrap ups routinely in the past, but I have decided that it would be a good way to keep track of progress with my 19 things for 2019 goals, and a nice opportunity to have a chat with you all about how […] Read more…
Who doesn’t like gooey-centred chocolates (does a person like this even exist?!)? I enjoyed caramels coated in crisp chocolate back in the day. They have a texture and taste that has long been out of my treats vocabulary though due to my food intolerances! So, how have I remedied this and what is my secret […] Read more…
Lasagne is right up high on my list of favourite foods and always has been. Melting cheese, gooey filling, tomato goodness…what could be better? It is definitely one of the meals I miss most since having to change to a gluten, dairy, egg and meat free, low FODMAP diet. Lasagne with mince has to be […] Read more…
Seeings how it is Easter, I think it is the perfect time (and excuse) to make a chocolate caramel slice! Of course caramel slice can be eaten anytime of the year (and really, why do we need to make excuses to eat a slice of yumminess?)! As sweet treats go, this is quite nutritious (but […] Read more…
This almond slice is ssoo yummy. I may or may not have made double the recipe twice in one fortnight recently and devoured it all….but it was shared between three family and friends!!! If you can resist from eating it all in one sitting, it does save really well in the fridge. I’m sure you […] Read more…
I know I have a lot of cookie recipes on my blog, and most are choc chip…but I like cookies, alright?! I enjoy trying new combinations and seeing what works (sometimes I regret this when I am craving cookies and create a new recipe only to be left with something inedible!). This recipe came about […] Read more…
