on a Kale Dough Crust Start by making your dough. We prefer using an organic pancake or waffle mix, but you are welcome to use any pizza baking dough. Think along the lines of Annie’s organic mix, Jiffy’s Pizza Dough, Martha Stewart Pizza dough, Bisquick, Pioneer, etc. Instead of using water, blend some kale, water, flax seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds etc in a blender until a smoothie forms. You are pretty much aiming to make this dough as nutrition dense as possible!...

Happy weekend, hope the sun is shining in your part of the world. Ours is, as usual, a bit of a mixed bag. The weather is very underwhelming given that we’ve just traversed into June. Now that it’s summer and everyone is relaxing a bit more, I’m making an effort to take some more time off for myself too. With this in mind, I made a simple, quick, healthy and delicious pasta recipe that will allow you to smuggle more green cruciferous vegetables into your meals without much pain or effort....

It’s just so, so, amazingly tasty and comforting. And it’s SO easy, it’s freezable, and it makes for great leftovers. It’s perfection! Even though I am sad that our enchilada casserole is no more, I am VERY happy about a few things. First of all, Zach and I are hunkering down all day today because of the snow. Which means making banana pancakes and bacon for breakfast, experimental cooking and working on the blog, and playing with my NEW CAMERA LENS!...

If you love a creamy white pasta sauce then this recipe is for you! It is a kid, toddler, and adult friendly pasta recipe that cooks in under 15 minutes and is as convenient and comforting as it can get. This recipe was inspired by my kids love for pasta with broccoli. Plus, it comes together in a matter of minutes. Want something with more flavor? Then give my One Pot Mexican Mac and Cheese with Homemade Cheese Sauce a try....

Today’s recipe is a quick and easy affair. It also happens to be very nutritious. Half a portion contains 15 g of protein, which is approximately 1/3 of your daily recommended allowance. It makes a great lunch and breakfast alike. I like its taste and convenience as I am a little snowed under lately. I’m putting finishing touches to a big project, so aside from the meals I make for the blog, I try to keep it simple....

OK I’ll just tell you- the secret ingredient is soy sauce! Many recipes use Worcestershire sauce in homemade BBQ sauces, but I never have any around, so I used soy sauce instead. The soy sauce is used instead of salt, and it’s a great vegetarian substitute for Worcestershire sauce in barbecue sauce (Worcestershire has anchovies, so it’s not vegetarian). So you can rest assured this homemade BBQ sauce recipe is vegetarian (vegan, too!...

Deviled eggs are the appetizer that never goes out of style. I love serving them at parties and potlucks, but I also love whipping up a batch to keep in my fridge for snacks throughout the week, or as a light lunch paired with a green salad. They’re low-carb and keto, gluten-free, and high-protein, and absolutely addictive! These particular deviled eggs are made with pickled jalapeño peppers and the brine from the jar as a replacement for more traditional vinegar, and I may never go back to regular deviled eggs....

Manestra is mine. Comfort food really is what you grow up eating, and my mom had lots of delicious, simple Greek recipes that I still make when I want something warm, comforting, and non-vegetable based (because what comfort food is made of vegetables?) :-) This recipe is simple, and I sometimes refer to it as “Greek Chop Suey” – Ground beef or turkey (or lamb, if you want to get fancy) is cooked with onions in a tomato-based broth with orzo, with mint and cinnamon added for a unique Greek flavor....

Have you woken up from your post-Christmas food coma yet? We returned to Bristol last night, definitely a little heavier and with a firm resolve to kick sweet things to the curb for the next two weeks at the very least. Christmas at my parents has definitely proven to me, once more, that a sweet tooth is something that runs in my family – the amount of sweet things my mum made has at least equalled the amount of savoury dishes on offer....

Guys. You can make YOUR OWN SUN DRIED TOMATOES. In the oven! And it’s the easiest thing in the world. Here’s what’s great about these. Their flavor is rich and robust. They are certainly not your average tomato. There’s almost a smoky flavor that comes out of dried tomatoes that are slow roasted for a long time. And when they are smothered in a marinade of extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs… boy oh boy....

Plum season is upon us and so today’s lunch is a simple plum and charred broccoli salad with an addictive almond and ginger dressing. It also features plenty of baby spinach and zoodles for an extra nutritional boost. Thanks to all the fibre, it makes a nice, filling (yet light) lunch – ideal warm weather food! The almond dressing is my latest obsession, I could happily eat it slathered on everything or even on its own, with a spoon....

I’m finally home after my flight got cancelled last Tuesday due to a heavy snow fall all over Europe. I had a really good time at home, but I really started missing Duncan and Tina towards the end of my stay so I’m happy to be back, especially that I got a welcome gift of a beautiful orchid and my favourite chocolate, complete with a welcome home note stamped with Tina’s paw print....

WHAT IS CUMIN POWDER? Quick 1-Ingredient Ground Cumin Powder essentially consists of finely ground cumin seeds. Cumin, known as “Zeera” in Urdu and “Jeera” in Hindi, is a pivotal spice frequently employed in Indian and Pakistani recipes. This fragrant Pakistani spice blend adds deep warmth and rich flavor, essential to capturing the essence of Pakistani cuisine. WHY MAKE HOMEMADE CUMIN POWDER? A few years ago, I rarely made spice blends at home....

Thanks to everybody who sent me lovely messages of support after my Saturday post. I wasn’t fishing for sympathy, but equally I wanted to keep things real and not pretend that I wasn’t in the state of mind I was. It’s one of these things. I sometimes wonder why I keep on coming up against the same issues over and over again, but then I remind myself that everyone’s life has challenges and dealing with mental health issues seems to have been the card I drew....

Instead, how about committing to eating more of something you know is good for you? For example, “I will eat more leafy greens” or “I will eat more salmon.” By eating more of the healthy stuff, you will naturally eat less of the unhealthy stuff and may even discover a love for new foods you wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Eat more salmon, you say?! Well. I have the perfect thing....

You won’t have to fuss with sides and there’s hardly any clean-up required – bliss! Although I’ve chosen to use broccoli, this recipe can be customised to use almost any vegetables you might have in the fridge. The noodles would be equally delicious with green beans or a bag of supermarket mixed vegetables with carrot and cauliflower – I love using frozen veg as it makes things extra quick and easy!...

Of course, all of this is contingent on me not eating the entire batch before our company arrives. Well… whatever happens, happens. I cannot guarantee anything. Nuts are a filling, healthy food. In addition to being a great snack to serve to company, these would be excellent to take to work. They are far more interesting in taste than boring plain ol’ nuts, and have no refined sugar or oil or any icky ingredients packaged flavored nuts have!...
