Vegetarian Whole Foods Made Simple
A secretly healthy breakfast carrot cake topped with whipped coconut yogurt. Breakfast just got more delicious! Cake for breakfast. Friends, I have good news, it’s totally a thing these days. This is a secretly healthy cake (Ssssshhhh! No one needs to know!), packed full of oats, …
This whole wheat Lemon Ginger Cake is just bursting with zingy citrus and warm gingery flavour. This weekend I will be celebrating Mothers Day. As a mother to a British-American child, I feel I am allowed to double dip with this Holiday. So Kirk, if …
This outrageously green apple, pear and ginger smoothie is refreshing and rejuvenating any time of day.
So it would seem that pear and ginger are the flavour of the month. Or flavour of the month for me, at least. This time I have whizzed the tasty duo into a smoothie, and apple has joined the party, oh and spinach has tagged along too.
I have been guzzling this outrageously green concoction like nobodies business, it’s so yummy and refreshing! Last Saturday I ran in my first race post-baby (and survived, no less!). By the afternoon I was hungry and depleted, a quick raid of the fridge yielded these beautiful ripe autumn fruits, and a neglected nub of ginger. A minute later, I was a new woman. This is a wonderfully replenishing and rejuvenating smoothie. I love it in the morning to wake me up, or in the afternoon to give me a little boost.
Enjoy!
This healthier whole wheat pear & ginger clafoutis is a perfect easy autumn dessert! There are two reasons I like to bake clafoutis- It makes me feel fancy, even if I haven’t brushed my hair and have unidentifiable baby-stains on my t-shirt. It sounds impressive …
These gingerbread granola bars combine all of the warm spices of gingerbread with the chewy, nutty texture of a classic granola bar. Before we get stuck into today’s recipe, I wanted to update you all on a little personal news. Next month our little family …
Well I finally got around to posting a salad recipe! I think you will fall in love with this one. Beautiful purple, orange and green strands, crunchy cashews, and a sweet gingery dressing to top it all off! This salad makes me happy.
I am fairly new to the world of slaw. For years I associated slaw with the shop bought coleslaw that seems to wheedle its way in to every family gathering or summer barbecue. You know the kind, unloved carrots and cabbage, limp under the weight of gloopy mayonnaise. It wasn’t until adulthood that I realised that slaw could be crisp, light and flavorful.
I recommend a food processor for this one. It can be done by hand, but it will take a lot longer (sorry!), I promise it will be worth it though. As a side note, if you do not currently own a food processor, it is a great tool to consider for your next splashy kitchen purchase. I bought a pretty inexpensive one because I wasn’t sure how often I would use it, I use it all the the time.
I hope you enjoy this little injection of freshness!
