Date Recipes

Looking for some easy date recipes that are healthier and easy to make? Then you're in the right place! I've always been a massive fan of using dates in desserts. I grew up in the Middle East where dates are a staple in every household. I ate them almost everyday without fail, not that you'd ever hear me complain about it - I'm obsessed with them! They have the most delicious sweet, caramel like taste and fudgy texture that work so well in dessert. Desserts are often synonymous with indulgence and decadence, but what if you could satisfy your sweet tooth while also nourishing your body? Enter dates - the naturally sweet, versatile fruit that has been used for centuries [...]

Coconut Overnight Oats (High Protein/No Protein Powder)

Coconut Overnight Oats (High Protein/No Protein Powder)

These coconut overnight oats taste like a chocolate coconut macaroon in breakfast form. Even better is that they're nourishing and only made with a handful of ingredients.

If you're a fan of coconut macaroons or chocolate bounty bars, I can guarantee that you'll enjoy these coconut overnight oats.

TikTok Cucumber Salad

TikTok Cucumber Salad

You've probably seen the TikTok cucumber salad that's going viral all over social media by now. Literally everyone seems to be making it, or a version of it. I didn't want to feel like I'm missing out, so I gave it a try - with my own little spin of course. What is the TikTok cucumber salad: This trend started when a food content creator, Logan (aka the cucumber guy), shared his take on an Asian cucumber salad. Now everyone seems to be making it, or at least making their own version of it. I remember a couple of years ago (it may have been during lock down) when a similar version of a cucumber salad went viral - a [...]

Dark Chocolate Bounty Bars

Dark Chocolate Bounty Bars

These dark chocolate bounty bars are made with only 5 ingredients and are so easy to put together. They're more wholesome than the real thing and also happen to be vegan/dairy-free. If you live in the UK, you'll know the running joke that every Christmas when a box of celebrations chocolates go around the room, all the bounty's are left behind because no one wants them. I could never relate, because for me, I would always reach out for the bounty bars first! My partner is the same, so they can't be that unpopular. They taste more sophisticated and have so much more flavour that some of the other chocolates in the tin. I think most people like them, but they [...]
