A thousand years ago, when I was single and carefree, I spent an amazing month in Greece.  One of the dishes I discovered on Santorini was this one - and now as a mum it makes a delicious and budget-friendly one pot meal.  It is packed with rich tomato flavour, easy...

While I’m not a big frittata fan (too eggy and dense for my liking) I do LOVE the fluffy creaminess of a quiche. But when you’re trying to lose weight or ditch grains, this traditional French dish isn’t fit for your table.  Thankfully this is a crustless version that...

We all know that asparagus makes your wee smell, but it’s also delicious and absolutely bursting with nutrients. Those little spears contain vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as antioxidants, folate, iron, copper, calcium, and protein.  It’s also a great choice if...

Is there anything better than bacon? It’s crispy, mouthwatering, smoky deliciousness.  But I left it off my plate for years because it was full of harmful chemicals and pork farming practices left a lot to be desired.  That’s why I am now so excited that free range...

My kids have wheat allergies, so birthday parties and school cake stalls can be tricky!  So they can enjoy sweet treats like the rest of their friends, I have been working hard to create healthy, gluten-free, but still delicious alternatives.  These cupcakes have been...

I love chicken stew and this one is packed with flavour and nutritious goodies. There’s something about the natural sweetness of the apples balanced with the saltiness of the bacon that really makes the meal. My whole family loves it. 2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter...

I’m always looking for a healthier version of our favourite treats, and my family loves that wonderful mix of sweet and salty you get from chocolate and peanut butter.  This icing is a perfect topping to cupcakes, cakes, and brownies, it’s also gluten and dairy-free!...

Going gluten free isn’t always easy, and this is especially true at breakfast when wheat is such a staple.  But ditching gluten doesn’t mean you have to miss out on everything (or reach for an expensive box-mix)! My kids love this recipe for Saturday morning...

My kids have gone through their picky phases, but if I put food on a stick it suddenly becomes more interesting to them! These chicken satays are delicious and so easy. Everyone loves them (though I add a good splash of Sriracha to mine!). 600 grams) skinless boneless...

We try to add fish into our diet every week, but it’s expensive and if there’s even a HINT of fishiness then no one (quite rightly) will eat it.  My solution has been to look for high quality frozen fish. If you have a Costco nearby, that’s a good place to start,...
