My brother wanted ‘anything with peanut butter’ as a birthday bake, so I went with these Peanut Butter and Banana Oat Slices. They are easy to transport to him, tasty and secretly vegan. He had no idea they were vegan, obviously, LOL. I really like these as they are quick, simple and full of goodness […]

I have no qualms in expressing my LOVE for granola. I’d have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks if I allowed myself to. I’ve made this Vegan Chocolate Orange Granola to satisfy my needs but also my purse. Good quality vegan granola can be an absolute fortune, which I think is usually unnecessary. You […]

January 1, 2017 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake, Vegan
Yep, you read that correctly, Vegan Banana & Walnut CHICKPEA Slices. These are grain free, I used chickpeas instead of flour and syrup instead of refined sugar. These are THE ONE. I’ve fallen into a Vegan diet, I was just going to do it one day a week, but then I watched lots of videos […]
Banana, Date & Dark Chocolate Chip Squares
September 9, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake, Vegan
I’ve been on set filming for almost a month and as much as I love to indulge in a biscuit or five the novelty is beginning to wear off, not only for me but for the majority of the cast and crew too. Filming life is not known for eating well or healthily…. So, I […]

Olive and Feta Muffins
June 6, 2016 by bright-admin - in Breakfast, Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
Father’s day has just passed and I asked my Dad what he wanted me to bake him. In my head, I had a fruity loaf, a decadent chocolate dessert or a moreish batch of cookies. How wrong I was – he said something with ‘cheese’. Oh. Right. Way to ruin my flow, Dad. I quickly […]
Apple and Almond Quinoa Porridge
June 6, 2016 by bright-admin - in Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Vegan
These Apple and Almond Quinoa Porridge pots were born out of boredom. I LOVE oats, porridge and cereal, but wanted to switch breakfast up a bit. I didn’t want to break too much from the norm, just a slight variation and quinoa seemed to fit! Quinoa is pretty spesh – naturally gluten free, jam packed […]

I love snacking. One of my fellow cast members on the tour I am on calls me a little rabbit – always in the corner munching on something (leave your dirty jokes at the door please…!). ‘Healthy’ snacking can be challenging sometimes, so here is where my Pistachio Power Balls come into fruition. These are […]
Tropical Fruit Loaf – Dairy Free
February 2, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bread, Breakfast, Free From, Loaf
Myself and my other half have given up a few indulgent treats for Lent, so I wanted to make something that will satisfy our sweet tooth, but, also something that we would actually look forward to eating too! I asked him what sort of flavours he wanted and viola – so was created the Tropical […]

I reckon most of us are taking a dive into a new gym/workout routine what with the indulgence of the holidays now over, so these Banana and Oat Protein Pancakes are here to help.

Cheese and Marmite Muffins
November 11, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Christmas, Indulgent, Muffin
I’ve recently become a MARMITE SPECIAL ADVISOR (yep, real thing!). Which basically means I love Marmite so much and want to tell the world about it. The Marmite company (or I like to think of them more like family) have become aware of this and sent me some, guess what, Marmite, hence my new creation […]
