Apart from my two pregnancies, I’ve always been a meat eater, but after almost ten years of supermarket meat in the UK my husband and I decided that we would rather reduce the number of times a week that we eat meat, and buy organic meat to eat less often. This has worked exceptionally well …

{Festival Of Food} Kale & Parmesan Summer Salad
I’ve put loads of effort into my garden this year, and to be honest, thus far, it hasn’t really paid off! I’m hoping now that summer’s finally arrived, we may have better luck. It certainly can’t get much worse. That said, the one thing in my garden that’s been glorious, and a steady producer, has …

{Guest} Great Summer Chicken Ceasar Salad
A few weeks ago I was at the Britmums conference, where I attended a food blogging session. One of the comments that came up in that session was that new or uncertain cooks like to have a step by step picture guide of how the recipe should look at every step. As an amateur-home-must-feed-the-children cook, …

Raw Nutty Chocolate Mousse
I’ve been teasing people with this recipe for two days now, not because I’m mean, but because I simply haven’t had the time to write it up, but here it is. We’ll call it version one, because I have some changes I want to make to it, but my husband taster said that’ll make it a …

{Slightly} Healthier Ice Cream With Rapadura
Ice cream, lovely as it is, is not exactly good for you. It’s sugary, fatty, and well, yum. But, it’s summer, and when my children want ice cream, I’d rather give them something full of vitamin C, iron and B Vitamins: enter Rapadura Ice Cream. Now, sometimes I’ll have a nice, healthy yoghurt ice cream on hand, …

Festival of Food: Mint Cordial Recipe
What’s lovelier on a hot summers day than a refreshing mint cordial? Well, I don’t know, but a mint cordial definitely hits the spot. Mint is used to relieve normal pregnancy nausea, and abdominal pain. Chewing mint leaves will make your teeth whiter over the course of a couple of weeks, and eliminate toxins from …

Wild Garlic And Cashew Pesto
Where my inlaws live, the public bridleway is lined with wild garlic on one side and dandelions on the other. It’s a foragers feast! Last year I picked a shopping bag full of wild garlic, brought it home, cooked with it and stuck a two plants in a pot. They looked as though they were …

Four Thieves Vinegar
Four Thieves Vinegar can be used both for food, and around the house for cleaning and decontaminating. It can also be put in the bath or used medicinally. Allegedly, Four Thieves Vinegar is so named after the four thieves who pillaged the homes of Plague victims but were not affected by the Plague themselves. When they were …

Dandelion Fritters
I do so love Dandelions. Not only do they bring with them the promise of spring, of sunshine and of warmer weather, but they also provide a wonderful opportunity for getting outdoor with little people. My daughters love picking dandelions and ask if we can as soon as the sun peeks out in spring. We …
