Always one to attempt a new chocolate chip cookie, I deviated from the foolproof recipe I felt confident enough to label Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are made with oats, and I made these, with buckwheat flour. If I’m honest, I still feel you can’t get that real moistness with anything other than oats,…

How To Grow Your Own Herbs At Home – Guest Post By Trago
Throughout the centuries herbs have been used for more than just adding flavour and colour to your favourite dishes, they have been used by herbalists, apothecaries and even doctors for their healing and restorative powers… What is a herb? The Oxford Dictionary outlines a herb as: ‘Any plant where the leaves, seeds or flowers are…
Chocolate Chip Blondies
Chocolate chip blondies, resplendent in all their gooey perfection. It really is hit and miss to give these the exact right amount of time in the oven. They have to be cooked through but equally, no point in a blondie (or brownie) if they are more like a cake texture – they just have to…

3-Ingredient Blackberry Chia Jam
Yes yes, I’m that mum that makes jam, the mum that people take the mick out of; ‘Oh I’m not going to sit at home and make my own jam.’ Well I’m proud of the fact that everything my family eats is made by us. And what beats homemade breads and jams? I certainly don’t…

Fry’s Family Gluten Free Vegan Burgers
Of course I didn’t make these vegan burgers myself, they are by the amazing Fry’s Family vegan foods. They are non-GMO and the only ‘oven food’ we’ll use in our house. It’s really great if you do need an easy dinner, without having to opt for rubbish fish fingers. I made the slaw and the…
Epic Vegetarian Portobello Burgers

Quinoa Crunch Bars
Remember ‘Crunch’ bars growing up? I think they were my favourite. Crunchy and chocolatey but not too rich – yum. So here I give you… the healthy version: Quinoa Crunch Bars. As long as you have a good food processor, these are easy to make. Quinoa is such an awesome source of plant-based protein, and…
