Pesto. Yum. There are MANY different variations on the classic 'pine nuts and parmesan cheese' pesto recipe, but when given a jar of nutritional yeast flakes recently, I wanted to get creative with recipes using it!

Ah, peanut butter. A very simple foodie pleasure in life. Although, that's true for ALL nut butters really. I'm a self-confessed nuts, seeds and all related butters addict - so delicious, to easy to make and so many recipe ideas stem from using them as key ingredients! Not to mention nuts are nutritional powerhouses, packed … Continue reading Peanut Butter Chicken & Broccoli Curry
