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 […]

I’ve recently finished watching Breaking Bad (yes, I’m very late to the party, but so glad I FINALLY got round to watching it!) and if you’ve seen it, you’ve probably got a good idea where this Bacon, Banana and Maple Loaf post has come from. For those who haven’t seen it, or saw it so […]

In this heat, I am weary of putting the oven on for too long. In fact, I don’t want to be doing anything in the kitchen for too long, but still want some sort of summery breakfast/dessert to look forward to. So these 15 minute Chia Pots are perfect for a delicious, simple, and QUICK […]

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 […]

The Easter indulgence has come to end…just. So here are my Sweet Potato & Cottage Cheese Pancakes to get you back on the straight and narrow. Pancakes are my happy place, I love ALL varieties and ALWAYS want them. These are a healthier twist on the classic style and are great for pre work out/training […]

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 […]

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. I’ve always loved sports and keeping active and myself and my boyfriend were sent some protein to try out from Fortified […]

It’s the new year and lots of people have set themselves food related challenges after the festive indulgence, so I thought I’d make these Healthier Choice Apple and Walnut Muffins to help make this vile feeling a little more bearable and tasty! These Healthier Choice Apple and Walnut Muffins are Vegan, Gluten Free and have […]

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 […]

I’m on tour with a play at the moment and I am travelling to different parts of the UK every week. It’s quite a gruelling schedule – Poole to Blackpool, Exeter to Liverpool. Living out of a suitcase is definitely not for the faint hearted. I can’t travel much ‘stuff’, including food, as I’m not […]

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. […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

This year I wanted a special Christmas Breakfast. Usually we are so busy sorting the dinner, opening the presents and guzzling something bubbly that Christmas Breakfast is usually a bit of tea and toast. These muffins can be made in advance and are super tasty, therefore no need to scrimp on any indulgence at breakfast […]
