I’ve been away on a UK tour of a show, hence a few less posts than normal, and I’ve been so eager to bake! I am back for a week and wanted to make something that I could take away with me as a bit of an energy lift during the interval of the show. […]

Wholemeal Kiwi & Pistachio Loaf
August 8, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bread, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
Kiwis are a new obsession in my household, however, I seem to buy a batch, forget I’ve got them and then realise I have 6 to eat in a day before they go off. Hence my Wholemeal Kiwi & Pistachio Loaf. Now, a word of warning, these kiwi’s need to be ripe and sweet, a […]
‘Lighter’ Blueberry Yogurt Cheesecake
August 8, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
Everyone loves cheesecake, right? At least everyone I know loves cheesecake. I’m surrounded by cheesecake fiends. However, I’m not a fan of the MASSIVE calorie/sugar/fat content. I needed something that resembled a cheesecake that I could have half of and not feel toooo guilty. Nothing in the shops was inspiring me, so I made my […]
Lemon & Lime Olive Oil Mini Muffins
July 7, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cupcake, Free From, Indulgent, Muffin
These Lemon & Lime Olive Oil Mini Muffins also come with a little lemon and lime drizzle – to make them extra special. This is a re-vamped version of an older post (actually one of my first!). I really fancied baking something, but with the weather so warm, I was a little confused with what […]
Nutty Fridge Bars

It’s just TOO hot to bake, but I want a nutritious and cooling snack. I got my thinking cap on and so here are my Nutty Fridge Bars – they live in the fridge to keep them fresh and cool and are sort of like a sticky version of a granola bar. Gluten Free and […]
I’ve been to Thailand since my last post (…I know, lucky me!) and while I was away, coconut was pretty much a staple food in all meals – hence my slightly more exotic Coconut & Lime Energy Balls. Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog will already know of my love for […]
No Guilt Chocolate & Banana Bread
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bread, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
I love chocolate, I love bananas and I love eating. I also like trying to be ‘healthy’. My cupboards were still full of Easter chocolate treats and I wanted a healthier way to consume them. So was made my Blooming Healthy Chocolate & Banana Bread. I’m all about guilt free treats and this is something […]
Gluten and Dairy Free Cookies – only 5 ingredients!
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Breakfast, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
I’ve over indulged. Again. My excuse: I’ve been busy, it was Easter, lots of food on the go, needing a quick sugar fix and no time to bake. The rush has calmed and so I made these SUPER SUPER HEALTHY Gluten and Dairy Free Cookies. I also challenged myself to keep the cost down, so […]
Vegan and Gluten Free Carrot and Coconut Bites
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Loaf, Traybake, Vegan
I was given a task. A vegan task. A request from Jonno’s (my boyfriend) friend, Gregg. I have been sending Jonno into work with various baking treats, trying to rid my household of what my will power cannot control. I have therefore been, mildly and happily, fattening the West End cast of Shakespeare In Love, […]
Gluten Free Raspberry Swirl Tray Bake
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Traybake
My Gluten Free Raspberry Swirl Tray Bake has been made for all those incredible and wonderful people who are doing a bake sale for RED NOSE DAY, which is on the 13th March. I wanted to make something that was simple, yet a little different, but, most importantly, totally scrumptious so people will come back […]
Ginger And Maple Syrup Spelt Loaf (Butter free, Reduced Refined Sugar)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bread, Breakfast, Dessert, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
I like bread and I like dessert. I’m also a bit health conscience. So I made this ginger and maple syrup spelt loaf to cater for these three needs. I use a lot of wholemeal flour and came across spelt flour in my local supermarket and thought I’d give it a go. Spelt flour is […]
Gluten Free Lemon And Blueberry Mini Loaves (Reduced Sugar)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Loaf, Traybake
The Jan diet is getting tough right? So I thought I’d create these Gluten Free Lemon and Blueberry Mini Loaves as a healthy-ish treat. I’ve made them reduced sugar too, so less guilt and they can easily be made dairy free by swapping the milk for almond milk. I also LOVE blueberry and lemon together, […]

Right, it’s the new year. Gym membership renewed. Gluten Free Protein Flapjacks made. Myself and my boyfriend, Jonno, are getting back onto a health kick. I’m quite a keen gym-er, as is Jonno, we have to be with the amount of cakes and biscuits that are always floating around our kitchen! For a while I’ve […]
Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse
November 11, 2014 by bright-admin - in Dessert, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
I’m having a dinner party. Quite a late night dinner party and I needed a dessert that was light and easy to digest at what would probably end up being midnight. So here I created the dairy free chocolate mousse. This is VERY chocolate-y. You’ve been warned, but a little goes a looooong way here. […]
