I’ve just realised that there has been a flurry of sweet recipes on the blog of late, sorry! I promise I do eat other foods too! However, it probably aptly reflects the stage of life I’m at. Breastfeeding a baby seven months on and still around the clock and so I often (well always) have a hankering for baked goods. And so I bake. Well we bake. Isabella and I because she loves it just as much as I do! Often the icing more than the cake itself and always the mixture more than

This wholesome and delicious recipe is inspired by fellow nutritionist Larissa Beeby, one part of the Future Foody team. I spotted her post on Instagram here and immediately wanted to make it! I have been enjoying it so much I wanted to share my creation of it with you all. The best breastfeeding treat! *Disclaimer - I have only made this once and the quantities below are from memory so just use common sense and the below as a guide (or refer to Larissa's original recipe abov

My husband and I are big chocolate lovers, so we often enjoy a square or two after dinner. Isabella adores her dried fruit (such as raisins and cranberries) so I thought I’d give homemade ‘chocolate’ a whirl using simple staple pantry ingredients. The result…a lush, rich treat to store in the fridge and enjoy in small slices when required! Homemade Fruit + Nut Block Chocolate ~gluten-free, dairy-free 1 cup coconut oil, I use Tanna Farms 1 Tbspn honey (or pure maple syrup) Hea

If you're looking for something deliciously wholesome to take to a Christmas do, then look no further than this Wholesome Rocky Road Bark! Made with only the BEST EVER coconut oil by Tanna Farms, you can find my recipe over on their blog here. You could add festive toppings such as cranberries to the mix too. It's both gluten-free and dairy-free meaning it's easy to cater for all. I often make a batch and keep it in a container in the freezer so that I have an antioxidant-ric

I love a great story and especially one that benefits all. Such as how Tanna Farms coconut oil began on the island of Tanna in the Pacific nation of Vanuatu. As well as a great story, I also love Country Calendar so when these two combined last night, I sat back with a glass of red wine in hand watching with both joy and admiration as to how my favourite coconut oil is made by the people of Tanna and quite literally how it is just grated coconut flesh pressed. Amazing! I use

This recipe was inspired by the lovely Marcia Chang-Hong who kindly shared her recipe for Raw Snickers Slice with me. It’s super easy to make and takes no time at all. Like most baking these days, this slice was prepared while Isabella watched over me in her highchair so nothing can take too long as she quite quickly wants to return to trying to walk her way around the lounge! At almost 11 months this little one is growing up far too fast! I used this most delicious Sprouted

I've been dreaming about an outrageous number of sweet recipes lately due to the arrival of our sweet wee bebe Isabella and her love for food at dinner time leaving the hubby to prepare the majority of our evening meals. I have two more wholesome sweet recipes to share with you soon too! However, savoury dishes aside these little 'snickers' morsels are far too delicious to describe – best you make them to find out! They are the perfect bite-sized treat for adults and children

Sometimes in life you just want proper old-fashioned cake. This carrot cake isn’t refined sugar-free but it’s completely delicious and the perfect celebration cake. If you’re a fan of carrot cake like everyone in my entire family, then try this beauty. It’s completely mouth-watering!

Enjoy one or two bliss balls for dessert, a snack or a luncbox treat...these little morsels are a delicious and nutritious little bite.

​ This recipe for Coffee, Date & Chocolate slice is one that I first posted last May but that I made earlier this week...because it's so so good! I like to keep it in the freezer so that I can enjoy a small slice with a cup of tea or coffee when I feel like something yummy mid-morning, especially in the weekends. I dare you to make it tomorrow as a Winter weekend treat instead of something sweet that comes in a packet! For the full recipe, click here. #treat #dessert #baking
