And we are onto the THIRD ingredient in the Plant Slant Series! This month's favourite, brought to you by myself and my friend, fellow foodie blogger and trainee dietitian Cliodhna (@fuelingthefitlife on Instagram) is SWEET POTATO. Yaaasss I hear you all say! And rightly so! Cliodhna and I LOVE sweet potato - sweet or savoury, there … Continue reading The Plant Slant Series: Sweet Potato Toasts
It's no secret that I'm a BIG hummus addict. I make a batch every single weekend, and I try to vary it a little bit each time - beetroot hummus and green hummus with spinach (recipes for those are already on my blog - find the green hummus here) being two of my favourites. So … Continue reading Minty Aubergine Hummus
Recently, after a pilates workshop, I had the most DELICIOUS slice of sourdough toast lathered with hazelnut butter and jam. Yes, I know how notional that opening statement sounds. But it was AMAZING. For those of you who don't know, I was born and raised (for the first 5 years of my life!) in Boston, … Continue reading Notions on Toast – Three Ways
September has landed gang, and with kids and teens (and me!) returning to school and college, and the arrival of Autumn, I've been full of recipe inspiration for fuss free recipes for every time of day. I don't know about you guys, but I definitely have 1-2 snacks pretty much everyday - usually between breakfast … Continue reading Fuss Free Blueberry & Oat Flapjacks
I love butter beans. One of my favourite recipes on my blog is my Smoky Baked Beans, which is made with chickpeas, but I'm a big fan of subbing butter beans in there. You guys know I'm a big hummus addict, making a batch every weekend (which never lasts the full week!) A brand I'm a … Continue reading Spicy Peanut Butter Bean Hummus
I use my lovely (usually willing) family as my taste-testers for many of my recipes. Because I don't really have a sweet tooth (truth!), I like to get their opinion to see if my lightened up versions of baked recipe classics like brownies, banana bread, etc., live up to a taste standard with the originals … Continue reading A Date with Avocado Brownies
So gang, September is coming. We all know what that means - back to school, back to college, and a change in season towards Autumn and Winter! I've been feeling inspired by these vibes to mix up my recipe treasure trove of ideas - and a black bean burger has been on my list for … Continue reading Mexican Style Black Bean Burgers
There is something so homely for me about the flavour and smell of ginger, and also - ginger nut! I used to be a total fiend for Ginger Nut biscuits as a kid. That epic crunchy ginger vibe with a little honey kick - ooh! Recently, I was planning to make my Classic Banana Bread, but … Continue reading Banana, Walnut & Ginger Breakfast Muffins
This recipe is one I'm particularly excited to share, because it's for my favourite meal of the day (breakfast - sure what else would you expect from an early bird!), and it's one with a difference! In a big move from my 'oats for breakfast' manta, I decided recently it was time to mix up … Continue reading The Plant Slant Series: Mushroom Feta Frittata Muffins
Ladies and gents, I have finally done it. I have created my own version of a classic - the humble (and highly notional) energy ball. This recipe exploded all over the health and wellness scene a couple of years ago now, and initially I definitely shied away from working on my own for the blog … Continue reading Ciara’s Cacao Protein Energy Balls
