This recipe is so good I keep looking for opportunities to make it again! It’s from my Bowls of Goodness cookbook by Nina Olsson. It’s a bit of effort, but that’s mostly preparing the raw veg and getting the cauliflower roasted, and you can easily get 2 meals (or 4 servings) out of it. I’m…
double meal / Lunch / Main / Vegan / Vegetarian / Weeknight
There’s a few different pots and pans needed for this but it’s easy to make for a crowd or enough for lunch (or dinner!) the next day so it’s worth it! This is quite scalable so I’d say the below serves three people (or two and lunch the next day for one). The recipe I…
These are great because they are packed full of fruit but still feel like you’re eating a bit of a treat! You could probably leave out the honey suggested in the original recipe and they would still be delicious. I often swap out the precise ingredients on the original recipe with whatever I have to…
This is my go to when I want something quick and easy. It’s only three ingredients which I usually have in house. You could probably swap the coconut oil for butter, but these honestly don’t have any coconut taste – they are perfectly in the middle of sweet and savoury so you can tip them…
To be honest, I’m not sure what to call these! They are at the same time: energy bars breakfast bars cereal bars no bake / raw bars snack bars dried fruit bars dairy free / vegan I also think you can probably swap the apricot and date for any other dried fruit and they would…
These are great – really easy, relatively quick, no added sugar and also freezable. And probably most importantly, they taste really nice. The recipe page I got them from also has lots of other great muffin ideas. I’ve written out below how I made them because it differs a bit from the original page. The…
A really nice alternative to bolognese sauce and easy to make in bulk so you can freeze portions for another time! I’ve made this a couple of times and the two important things to remember are 1) double the amount of fennel and 2) really give it time to cook down and grow in flavour.…
A lovely alternative to a bircher breakfast, this takes a few minutes to make the night before and is a refreshing and healthy way to start your day. It’s really simple, you just mix together the dry and then wet ingredients, and leave in the frige overnight. It’s then delicious as it is, or the…
This is a really nice, simple recipe, and feels a bit healthier for having spelt flour rather than regular flour. Just don’t focus too much on the amount of sugar that also goes in … Ingredients: 210g spelt flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tp bicarb soda pinch of salt 125g unsalted butter, soft or…
I made this towards the end of summer, and as mornings are getting colder it certainly makes getting up easier! It’s not loaded with sugar and somehow the nutty chocolate flavour seems to fit perfectly with early, chilly autumn mornings. As an added bonus, the original recipe has everything in cups so even if you…
This might not be the most picturesque meal you ever cook, but it’s healthy, vegetarian and full of protein from the black beans and numerous health benefits from brown rice, which gives you plenty of selenium, manganese, fibre and has low GI, if that’s something you’re watching for. There are four aspects to this meal:…
Although this takes a bit of time, it’s actually really low effort and it’s a great way to get a portion of your Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. What you need (for 2): 750g of carrots, sweet potatoes, or mix of both 2 x smoked mackerel fillets 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper…
Occasionally you don’t have the inclination or luxury of time to prep ingredients or put in effort to make a delicious meal. But it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still be able to eat a healthy, delicious meal. And this one can just as easily go on a baked jacket potato – or in a lettuce…
Really moist, chocolatey and light – you’ll wonder if you forgot to put the courgettes in once you bite into this. It’s so good I only did half the the recipe – it’s supposed to have rye salted chocolate crumbs on top but I don’t think it needs it. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a…
This is perfect if you don’t have many spare pans as you can make all of this in justone pan! I was intrigued when I saw the recipe but I’ve tried it (minus the peas and cream) and it’s good to go. It won’t be the most elaborate dinner you’ve ever had, but it’s nutritious and…
