Chocolate covered bounty bar anyone? A great sweet treat to make with the kids especially over the summer break. Just be sure to keep them in the fridge – I doubt they will last longer than 5 minutes on the counter in this heat (unless they’re all devoured that is!) Ingredients: – 100g desiccated coconut…
Fluffy Chia Seed American Pancakes
It’s pancake day! Or as my daughter keeps correcting us; Shrove Tuesday… promptly proceeding to tell us the religious connotations of the day, followed by how that’s actually significant for us (as Muslims, because Jesus is Isa remember) I’m like oooh-kay! Bless! Anyway, I’m not a huge fan of pancakes and tend to make fluffy American ones,…
Chicken burgers
So In case you hadn’t guessed it I was sick over the weekend (who am I kidding, I still am!!), which means I made more chicken soup – and that means chicken leftovers! I love these, using boiled, shredded chicken from the soup, mixed with mashed potatoes. Simply gorgeous! Recipe below… Ingredients 2 cups cooked…
Super Strength Cold Busting Tea
This is my go to drink when I’m feeling sniffly or straight up suffering from a cold or flu! I’m a believer in the healing powers of water. Lots of people have shared their own versions of this drink with me, but this is the one that works for me. It’s star anise, ginger, and cassia…
Baked Apple Crisps
Anyone else struggling with going back to work and school this week? I personally think I had a bit too much time off… not that it was a bad thing; late nights, lie-ins, and QT with the kids; it’s a life I could easily get used to! But, this here gorgeous bowl of goodness sure…
Good for you Gingerbread Cookies
Who doesn’t love a bit of seasonal gingerbread? This week I tried out a new recipe to test out whether I needed to use refined sugar or not – turns out, I don’t! And they taste just as good. Not overly sweet, and full of flavour to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. All…
Cheesy Polenta Chips
Nailed it! I tried this a couple of months ago and to be honest they were okay. This time, I swore I’d do better – and I’m glad to say I did! Cheesy polenta chips are the ultimate in healthy comfort food – and they’re soooooo yummy!!! Crispy, fluffy in the middle, TOTALLY better than a…
Get Well Soon Chicken Soup
Sorry it’s taken me so long to post this! The child I made it for was having none of my delicious ‘Get Well Soon Soup’ so it’s taken him a while to recover (which is why it’s taken ages to put this recipe up to be honest!!) The other, ‘obedient one’, as I like to…
Magnificent Morsels
So here it is… the recipe for (what my daughter calls) “magnificent morsels”. They’re sweet, gooey, chewy, moist, and warm… so easy to make that I’ve prepared some ready for tomorrow’s treat too! Ingredients: – Ready roll gluten free puff pastry (or use normal all-butter puff pastry if no intolerance) – 1 tablespoon melted coconut…
Clean Chocolate Brownies
So I thought I’d share the baking love and took some brownies into work today; they seemed to go down well! My colleague called them “clean brownies”, but I made these when I was having major Monday blues yesterday with that “don’t give two hoots” kinda feeling to spur me on! They were light yet dense and…
