Simple homemade granola

Simple homemade granola

I try to be as “green” as possible, so for 2 or three breakfasts a week I will have a thick green smoothie packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflamtories; spinach, cucumber, kiwi, spirulina, celery and lime with a large sprinkling of homemade granola. Sounds…

The weather has been so beautiful in London over the last couple of weeks so I’ve been making the most of enjoying lots of fresh vegetables and trying out some quick light dishes. My usual routine on finishing work is to cycle straight home to feed Tilly (Queen of the…

Spicy butternut squash soup

It shocks me to see how much added sugar, preservatives and stabilizers are added to well-known supposedly “healthy” soups that we can buy in Supermarkets. Even the “green” ones are riddled with additives portraying a fake healthy façade to con us in to a false sense…

Roasted tomato and butternut squash curry

Roasted tomato and butternut squash curry

One of my favourite vegetables of all time is butternut squash. It’s what I would call a “meaty” vegetable as it has a carb like texture and is a great accompaniment to meat or as a meal on its own – but without feeling heavy or…

Thought I’d post this JUST in time for breakfast! Since I gave up dairy 10 months ago I have noticed a significant difference in my general health. Every morning at work I used to have organic yoghurt with blueberries and pumpkin seeds. I’d always feel…

Blueberry and cinnamon omelette

I made up this recipe late last year and since then it has become a weekly breakfast treat. Created at home, it was a Sunday  morning and all I had in my kitchen were eggs and blueberries, so I decided to experiment with what I had.…
