Gluten Free Pastry



One meal that I missed when I went gluten free was quiche! Such a great meal and so versatile and easy to make so when I discovered that I could make pastry that I could eat, I jumped at the chance!  

Here is the delicious recipe that I think tastes better than normal pastry.

Raw Protein Balls


These protein balls are amazing. They were one of the first raw clean treats that I made and showed me how delicious a combination of fruits and nuts can be!
The beauty of these raw bites is that they are ready whenever you fancy one, either as a clean treat or even for a quick breakfast if you haven't got time to prepare anything. 

They are kept in the freezer so they will last a good while (that's if you have eaten them all before frozen!)

Kale Salad

A bit of a continuation from my last post Salad Loving... The truth is I cant stop trying new combinations out. This one is definitely a winner. Enter kale, avocado and cashews.... The dream combo..



This is an extremely good balance of food groups and is filling for a lunch or dinner idea.

Salad Loving

In the last few weeks I have not been able to get enough of salads! I used to be one of those that said "I don't like rabbit food" but oh how things have changed since then ha!

I think it is because salads have evolved in recent years instead of that standard iceberg lettuce and slices of grilled chicken... Not really something that would get me running to the kitchen. But now I have discovered different elements that have made me do a U-turn! 

I think the foundation to a good salad is a good source of protein, and an ingredient that you love (mine is avocado) and a great topping like pesto or balsamic vinegar. Then you can build things around that, but always remembering to mix it up. Repetition can be very dull.

So have a look below for my favourite salad creations, and I hope you feel inspired!

Cauliflower Pizza Base

I have been meaning to try Cauliflower Pizza for a while now since my friend said how yummy it was. I heard that you cant even taste the difference between a typical pizza crust and this cauliflower crust!

I definitely put this to the test and let me tell you- the rumours are correct!! It is delicious. Try it for yourself now!
