Gluten Free Vegetarian Spaghetti

As some of you already know, I like keeping my recipes simple. To make this gluten free vegetarian spaghetti I'm making a simple tomato sauce using canned tomatoes and tomato puree and flavouring it with garlic, basil, chilli flakes and lemon jucie. I'm adding peas for some extra colour and texture but feel free to use minced meat or prawns for some protein.

Butternut Squash Kale Quinoa

I'm always making quinoa, but I rarely make it plain. I always add things like beans, nuts and lot of vegetables. It's so easy and quick to make so it's perfect for when you're in a hurry and need something quick. I like to make a huge batch and store it in the fridge to have for lunch throughout the week. It makes an amazing lunch on the go - better than your average sandwich and definitely much healthier, and more interesting (in my opinion!).

Mixed Berry Chia Pudding

This recipe is as easy as they get! You literally only need 3 main ingredients and then you can add whatever else you like. Chia seeds have very quickly become one of my pantry staples that I can't live without! I've been using them particularly in baking as a substitute for eggs, especially when I'm looking for something denser and less spongy. I think chia eggs work so much better than flax eggs, does anyone else think that?

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Red Pesto

You know sometimes when you come across a recipe and straight away you think "This looks too difficult" and you move on before actually reading the recipe and knowing what goes into it, well for me, homemade gnocchi was one of those recipes! I'd seen a few people making homemade sweet potato gnocchi but I've always thought there is no way this is not going to be fiddly! Now I realise how completely wrong I was!

Healthy Vegan Brownies

Brownies are probably one of my favourite desserts. Dense, rich, sweet and most importantly full of chocolatey goodness! What's not to love?! I don't think I've ever come across anyone who doesn't love brownies. However, they do tend to leave a heavy feeling in my stomach. Not surprising when you consider the mountain of sugar and fat that's added to a typical brownie recipe.

Healthy Caramel chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies – Nut-free

The secret ingredient in these blondies and what makes them healthy is – you’ve probably already guessed it – CHICKPEAS! Most of the healthy blondie recipes out there include some sort of nut butter. I wanted to create a nut free recipe for those of you allergic to nuts, and this is the result! Healthy, nut free, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free.

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Vegan Pancakes

As an IBS sufferer I really have to be careful what I eat, particularly for breakfast. Usually if I start the day off wrong, my digestive system will play up the rest of the day no matter what I do. I would get this heavy unsettling feeling in my stomach, like a brick. It feels like the food sits there for hours and I start feeling so tired, sluggish and lethargic. Pancakes were one of those foods that I had to avoid in the morning!
