Easy Hummus Recipe (Authentic Middle Eastern)

Hummus is something that I eat every single day without fail! I eat it on the side of main meals with salads and cooked vegetables, and it's also one of my go-to snacks. I like to have some peeled chopped carrots in the fridge so when I'm feeling peckish, all I have to do is open the fridge, take out the hummus and carrots and devour! I also like to have it with rice cakes when I run out of carrot sticks and I'm too lazy to peel more!

Vegan Tahini Brownies

So these brownies were kind of an accident. Is it just me or are the best recipes usually the ones that don't go to plan, instead they result in something even better! I was trying to make egg free chocolate cookies, but they didn't turn out exactly the way I planned, so I decided to turn them into brownies instead...and here's the result!

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks – Halva & Turkish Delight

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks - Halva & Turkish Delight Both these desserts, halva and turkish delight, have a special place in my heart. I grew up loving, but rarely eating either of them. We only had treats like this when visiting relatives or at special occasions. Not too long ago I made another 'halva' recipe - my Halva overnight oats.

Healthy Oat Waffles (Gluten-free)

What's so special about waffles? I never really saw what all the fuss was about, until now! Since hubby was given a waffle maker for his birthday, I tried it for the first time and fell in love! Pancake weekends are now referred to as waffle weekends! Don't get me wrong, I will always love my pancakes. The thing about waffles, and it's something that you can never get with pancakes, is their crispiness.

Healthy Tahini Granola

Making homemade granola is easier than you think. The best thing about making your own granola is that you can customise it to your personal taste. If you like it sweet, add more sweetener. If you don't like raisins, leave them out! The second best thing is that you can avoid all those added calories, processed sugars and other unnecessary ingredients! It's a nice feeling knowing exactly what's going into your body and that it's actually doing you some good!
