These lemon chia energy bites provide a delicious boost any time of day!
If you have been reading this blog for a while, or you follow me on instagram, you probably know that running is a passion, or maybe even a compulsion of mine. If you know me in real life, you definitely know it. Many of you also know that I spent most of January and February of this year limping around with a nasty injury that preventing me from running at all. This was totally miserable for me (and TOTALLY miserable for my long suffering hubby), but I can happily report that I am back on track (ha, punny!), and getting my mileage back to about 30 miles a week. Two immediate consequences of my recovery were:
Enter lemon chia energy bites. They cheerily compliment my mood, but more importantly, provide a delicious and convenient boost of energy post or pre run. Wether running is your thing or not, they make a really tasty snack, and last a good week in the fridge.
What is your favourite way to refuel after a sweat sesh?
Enjoy!

Kick the Summer off early with these Mediterranean inspired Chickpea Gyro Bowls! Last week we were back in Michigan for a blink-and-you-miss-us visit, and my Sis and Bro in law kindly put us up (or rather, kindly put up with us…). When we arrived, my sweet …

Whole wheat linguine tossed with roasted cauliflower, yoghurt, lemon, and almonds to make a quick and delicious weeknight meal.
Alternative Post Title = Roasted Cauliflower: A Love Affair.
The first time I roasted cauliflower I was forever ruined, for I can never go back. Like most Brits, I grew up eating my cauliflower boiled, steamed, or even smothered in cheese sauce which is fine and all, but roasted cauliflower is like WOAH.
Honestly I would probably eat a head of roasted cauliflower one its own for dinner and be pretty content, however, I have a responsibility to provide my child with 3 balanced, nutritious meals a day (he gets to choose wether they are eaten or thrown on the floor with a defiant arm swipe), so I decided to toss it with a little whole wheat linguine and a little lemony yoghurt and voila! A simple, delicious meal that can be pulled of in about half an hour. Perfect!
Enjoy!

This courgette lemon pizza on naan is an easy and light meal, with all the fresh, bright flavours of Summer!
Since rediscovering the concept of the Naan Pizza this winter, I have been on a little mission to come up with new toppings for quick, easy weeknight dinners. This pretty, fresh combination of courgettes, mint, feta and lemon was too wonderful not to keep from you!
The courgette ribbons are optional (you could just slice them!), but don’t you think the tangle of white and green is so gorgeous?! Lemon, mint and feta are a classic trio, and flavours that I have been a little obsessed with this summer. There is a slight difference between this naan pizza and it’s winter cousin– I baked the naan for a couple of minutes before adding the topping. I found that the lemony-courgette mixture necessitated a firmer base. Other than that it’s Naan Bread Pizza, business as usual!
Enjoy!
I’ve said it before, but courgette is “English” for zucchini 🙂
If you fancy making this into a “real” pizza (read: not my lazy naan version!), I like this crust recipe from 100 days of real food.
If you want an even quicker dinner, I have eaten this pizza without putting it back in the oven for the cheese to melt, just cook the naan for a couple of minutes longer on the front end. I do prefer the more cooked version though.
This red, white and blue patriotic power salad makes a healthy addition to any July 4th party! When you’re a displaced Brit residing in the USA, July 4th can be a tricky holiday to navigate. I mean, it’s not like I come across many people …
