‘What are those bulb things you are slicing? You’ve never seen fennel? It looks like celery and tastes like licorice’. Fennel is used as palate cleanser in Italy. It has a sweet mildly aniseed taste that is more interesting to me than celery. I like both to be honest, as does Mr and Baby B. …
‘The advantage of the cauliflower is that if all else fails, you can always cover it with melted cheese and eat it’. My little one loves broccoli (for now), but he won’t touch cauliflower, so I have been thinking about ways of sneaking it into his dinner. I make a mean turmeric rice (thank you …
This recipe is adapted from Dr Mark Hyman recipe. It’s great for adults and kids a like. They are grain free muffins, made of almonds, so make for a great breakfast or satiating snack. The almonds, apples/pears and sunflower/nut butter provide these muffins with fibre, protein, healthy fats, iron, and vitamin E. The fruit also …
‘Happiness is a small house with a big kitchen’ The layout of the downstairs of our new house is the kitchen, the living area and a playroom. We don’t use the living room much for living, as we haven’t switched the TV on since Baby B was born, so it is really a gateway area …
’Eat waffles, sleep, play, repeat’ Yes, the waffle recipes are back! I have made this one the most recently as Baby B takes them to school with him. They are also great to take with you when traveling in the car. My mum wanted to learn how to make these, so I gave her the …

It is gooey and chocolatey, without having dairy or chocolate. Great for a sophisticated adult dessert …
‘If you don’t eat well, you won’t be able to think, sleep or love well’ My little one has been quite ill recently, having spent a couple of days at school and contracted a few bugs at the same time, including RSV. Over the last few weeks, have been trying to make sure he eats …
‘The delicate sweetness of just picked vegetables, is always worth savoring’ I made this dish for the wider family on thanksgiving, alongside a number of other veggie dishes. This was the only one that was eaten, as apparently you don’t need to eat veggies on thanksgiving unless they have marshmallows on them. It is an …
‘If you combine good flavors, food turns into an orchestra’ This is a great dish that has a ton of healthy ingredients but tastes gooey and indulgent. It has layers of deep flavour but is super simple to make. It doesn’t look too fancy, but it was the showstopper at a recent brunch I hosted. …
‘Funny, how one good cookie can calm the mind and elevate a troubled soul’. I used to make these cookies at the restaurant. It was like quiet sweet meditation. They are more like a healthy granola bar in the form of a cookie, so can be eaten any time of the day. I love the …
