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,…
I’m back this week with another vegan recipe. I found this particular vegan dish through the review I did of Mindful Chef a few weeks ago. I always love finding new and exciting recipes, and this one didn’t fail to impress. Not only is it packed full of healthy ingredients, it’s full of flavour with…
You my have spotted this delicious looking pasta dish in the background of a recipe I posted a few weeks ago. I served our pasta primavera alongside a Stone’s ginger wine cocktail, with elderflower cordial, soda and cucumber, and the two were delicious together. The freshness of all the ingredients used in both food and…
These red pesto fish skewers, are another Mindful Chef recipe that we received in last week’s food box. We’ve been so impressed with this month’s dishes from Mindful Chef so far, that I can’t help but feature them on my blog. I love that these skewers use ling fish, rather than cod, as it may…
This summer I have really improved my flare for cocktail making! Traditionally I’ve stuck to posting foodie recipes, but a great drink goes hand in hand with good food, so why not show off my drink of choice too? Ginger has always been a favourite flavour of both mine and Stew’s. We cook with it…
I’m currently reviewing health food-box, Mindful Chef. Last week I received a recipe card, and box of ingredients, for a vegan tomato ragu with butter bean mash. Both myself and Stew were so impressed with the dish, that I thought it deserved it’s own post on my blog. I’ve since made it a second time…
