Holiday days are perfect for getting into the kitchen with children. Has anyone else been making something yummy this week? Let us know in the comments. We’ve been busy making this paleo nut bar – super delicious and easy too. We were invited to take part in the #goodfoodchallenge happening over at Alison’s Pantry. As part of that we received a mystery …
We’ve played around with making tomato sauce before now and while the results were yum they didn’t really have the wow factor. That’s all changed now with this little experiment. It came about because the other night we’d done a big roast and at the same time I had cooked up Dom some sausages for his lunch. He wanted to …
These Valentine Mini Heart Cheesecakes are sweet enough for a special occasion but also a healthier alternative to the processed sugar overload that can seriously derail your health and wellness goals during this time of year! They’re fairly easy to make (using a food processor otherwise it would be a serious slog). The filling is made with layers sweetened with fruit and small amount of maple …
These delicious balls of yumminess are the best for when you are in the mood for something a bit sweeter. These are definitely “special occasionals” as Chef Dom has taken to calling this type of thing. We don’t usually make chocolate bliss balls as they’re pretty decadent. But I needed to make something for Dom to have at daycare when the other …
Who would have thought! Bake your brussel sprouts in the oven to make irresistible Brussel sprout chips. In the past I’d probably discard some of the outer leaves of these veggies – now we turn them into mouthfuls of salty, crunchy goodness. Brussel Sprout Chips Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 10 mins Total time 20 mins Super easy …
Zucchini made into noodles is one of our favourites. We make them with a thing called a Spiralizer but you can also make with a julienne peeler. Works out fine to simply spiral them into noodles, chuck them into a pan, cook until tender (about 1-2 minutes with some coconut oil) remove from heat and put under whatever cooked meat or …
These coconut gummies are the perfect blend of sweet and sour (if you use lime juice – but you can totally leave this out as well). They use gelatine which is really great for our bodies (think bone broth) and also fantastic for improving gut health. These could make great Halloween treats with the right mold or be equally great for …
Guest Post by Jo Nolan from Be Nourished*. Eating fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, is an incredibly healthy practice directly supplying your digestive tract with living cultures essential to breaking down food and assimilating nutrients. The reason I’m inspired by sauerkraut and kimchi is because not only are they an excellent condiment or ingredient that adds a zesty, tart taste …
We kind of made these by mistake. They tasted great and looked amazing and were very popular at the Christmas get togethers. You can also put actual slices of fruit in between the layers for something a bit different. It’s easier to handle the jellies if you put them in individual serves but that takes bit more time. This is …
This Christmas tree made of fruit is a fantastic idea for a centre piece for the dinner table if you’re having people over for a party around Christmas time. Creating this tree can be easy and fun but you definitely need to prepare with the right ingredients and equipment beforehand to avoid frustrations and injury! You’ll need a large apple, a large …
