Christmas might be over, but winter is still here, and what better than to warm yourself up with a spicy carrot, lentil and coriander soup. With a touch of chilli flakes and cumin seeds, this thick and hearty soup, is bound to warm you up on the coldest of days. Serving six, we made a…
I made these delicious triple chocolate brownies for a Christmas bake sale at work recently, and they went down a treat! Using both dark, milk and white chocolate, they are super rich, gooey and taste even better, straight out of the oven, warm. Whether you’re a fan of brownies normally, or not, I guarantee you…
Who said cocktails were only for summer? Certainly not me! This delicious Negroni is perfect for winter with it’s notes of blood orange and delicious sweetness. It’s super easy to make, comprising of just three ingredients. The Negroni originated in Florence in 1919, and is traditionally made up of 1 part Gin, 1 part Campari…
If like me you’re not the biggest fan of traditional Christmas fruit cake, why not try this alternative festive inspired red velvet cake? I absolutely love red velvet cake. Mainly for it’s beautiful cream cheese frosting. The sponge itself is light and fluffy, and although its red food colouring adds little more than style, the…
I made these delicious Baileys Pumpkin Spice cupcakes for a Halloween bake sale at work, raising money for my volunteering project in India at the start of next year. However, these cupcakes would make a great treat at any point during autumn and winter. With a mix of spices, including cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, the…
Slightly cheating with this week’s recipe… I didn’t make my own red pesto, I bought a jar from our local grocer! But when you’re in need of a quick and healthy lunch, and you’re only make enough for one, I’m going to let myself off! This super bright and colour tagliatelle can be made in…
As part of my fundraising for my volunteering project with ASOS and their Give A Week Away program, I’m holding a Halloween bake sale. If you haven’t heard about my volunteering efforts, I’m going to India in January to help Udayan Care – a charity set up to home, educate and love abandoned and orphaned…
So I know the weather has dropped a few degrees but I made this salad at the weekend and it was de-lish! To good not to share. It basically includes all of my favourite things – bulgur wheat, feta, peas, radish, mint. All the good stuff! Not only is it super colourful and tasty, it’s…
Although both myself and Stew are meat eaters, we love to eat vegetarian food. In fact, on average, 3 out of our 5 weekday meals are often vegetarian. We both enjoy all kinds of food, and love experimenting, so when Goodlife got in touch to ask if I would mind reviewing some of their frozen…
Firstly, sorry that things have been a little quiet on the blog recently. I’ve just got back from spending the last two weeks in Scotland. Stew and I hired a car and took a little road trip, stopping off at the Lake District first, before spending 10 days driving all over Scotland. It was my…
Another recipe borrowed from Mindful Chef. I made this cashew chicken curry dish when reviewing their healthy food boxes. I particularly loved the black rice it was served alongside, it made for an interesting and more healthy alternative to basmati. I’d never cooked black rice before – the water turned an almost dark red colour,…
