Soaked Overnight Oats – 4 Big Benefits

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Laura • 4 Comments

Oats have long been one of my go-to fast breaking meals. But, after one too many times under or overcooking oats on the stove I resorted to a more foolproof, and better for you, alternative – soaked overnight oats. I haven’t looked back since. Last week I was explaining to a colleague why he too … Continue reading →

Are you eating the rainbow?

Eat the rainbow. It’s a phrase that’s joined the likes of ‘plant based’ and ‘intuitive eating’ as one of a growing number of ways to express what a healthy diet looks like. It’s a foodie term that’s now been #hashtagged two million times on Instagram – #eattherainbow indeed. But what do we need feed our bodies … Continue reading →

In the UK fresh apples are available almost all year round – I imagine most Brits would find the idea of buying apples months after they were picked more than a little strange. But that’s exactly what happens in the US and Australia. Something I struggled to grasp after moving to Australia. The apple season … Continue reading →

When it comes to desserts I sit firmly in the choc-nut camp. Presented with a choice of options I’m immediately drawn to anything containing chocolate or nuts. If both feature in the same dessert then the chance of me choosing anything else is non-existent. But one recent Sunday I had a strange urge to make … Continue reading →

3 Mediterranean inspired food rituals

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Laura • 16 Comments

I’ve always been food conscious. My younger self counted calories and avoided fats – even though I had no need to lose weight. Thankfully by the time I hit 30 ‘dieting’ had been replaced with a lifestyle choice to just eat healthy. This means fresh home made feasts, no processed food, minimal added sugar and … Continue reading →

Fishcakes with salmon & sweet potato

Posted on July 22, 2015 by Laura • 15 Comments

We’ve all heard about the benefits of eating fish.

I’m sure their diet must be a contributing factor. When it comes to choosing between types of fish a … Continue reading →

Every day my fellow foodies inspire me with healthy versions of traditional sweet treats. I often find myself printing their recipes and adding them to my bursting at the seams recipe folder.

Banana bread – gluten free & dessert worthy!

Posted on July 3, 2015 by Laura • 3 Comments

A couple of months ago I posted my first bread recipe. It came from the book ‘Going Paleo’ from Pete Evans. His Paleo bread, with almonds and eggs as the base, is packed with protein and healthy fats. Since then making a loaf of delicious grain free bread has been a weekly ritual – it’s become a … Continue reading →

I recently picked up a lovely bag of new season Pink Lady apples at my local farmer’s market. A couple of weeks and lots of fennel and apple slaw later, I still had half of them sat in the fridge begging to be used.
