Many moons ago, I shared this recipe for vegan carrot “bacon” via my Instagram account. An alternative to the processed mock meats that are becoming more widely available by the day, this is a super-simple “real food” recipe. And, unlike all the carrot bacon recipes I had seen before I started experimenting with this myself, this one…

CARVED & STUFFED BAKED BELL PEPPERS (a healthy Halloween treat!)
As has been our family tradition for the past few years, this Halloween saw carved and stuffed bell peppers on the menu. Wanting to update them somewhat, I came up with this recipe, loosely based on the first one that we ever used. The kids have been dressing up for days. We’ve seen variations of…
CHOC BANANA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE (with coconut cream and grated chocolate)
Say hello to this delicious, super-easy-to-make treat of a smoothie! I came up with this creation on the fly when the little peeps asked for smoothies on the weekend, and I used only ingredients I had on hand.

You will need to trust me on this one. These toasties are simply delicious; a perfect balance of savoury and sweet, crunchy and creamy… with touch of zingy, refreshing sourness, a little earthy nuttiness and a subtle kick of heat. Do try this at home. NECTARINE & AVOCADO TOASTIES (with almonds, feta & chili flakes) Serves: 1-2 INGREDIENTS 2…
QUINOA CHIA PORRIDGE WITH MIXED BERRY COMPOTE & ALMONDS

It is wonderful served cold, straight from the fridge or, if you prefer, both the compote and the porridge can be warmed…

CUCUMBER LIME SODA WITH FRESH MINT
Just 4 ingredients (+ water, of course) and zero sweetener; the perfect way to rehydrate after an active day… especially now that it’s finally starting to warm up a little in Stockholm.

ALMOND WALNUT QUINOA-LA WITH FIGS & ORANGE SYRUP
A few years ago, on a whim, I bought a packet of quinoa flakes. With no specific recipe in mind in which to feature them, I ended up using them in a variety of baked goods, in place of oats. The results were surprisingly good and I became interested to experiment further. This quinoa-based granola (which…
