‘If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.’ – Einstein I thought this was an interesting combination for a bridge between a smoothie and milk. I swapped out maple syrup for dates to make it a little sweeter as my banana wasn’t as ripe as …
‘I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside’. My little has been asked for cake, after having it at a few birthdays and at a few playdates, so I wanted to find a recipe where that I would be happy, he could eat any time of …

‘I said to the almond tree, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed’ I love this recipe as it is naturally gluten free with lots of healthy ingredients and an antioxidant bonus from the raw cacao.
