I’m becoming mildly obsessed with all things Mexican lately. These paprika chicken burrito bowls allow me to indulge this obsession without suffering a food coma afterwards. They’re also pretty quick and easy to put together which I’m loving at the moment as I’m knee-deep in exam fear and cooking can easily turn into 3 hours of procrastination 😉 If you’re wondering exactly what a burrito Read Post
Black Olive Tapenade
Putting this black olive tapenade recipe together has completely made me long for never ending summer days. This is the kind of food that deserves to be enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with a large glass of wine. Sadly it’ll be a good few months before that becomes a reality! If you follow me on facebook or instagram you might have seen me sharing a quick snap of Read Post
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
This salad right here has been an absolute revelation to me. I’m a big cauliflower fan (gimme aaaall the cauliflower cheese) but I’ve never tried cooking it like this before. If you haven’t either, give this roasted cauliflower salad a go! There are two key steps to making this warm salad super satisfying. Firstly, blitzing the cauliflower + broccoli into tiny little bits gives it a Read Post
Mustard Herb Crusted Salmon
This mustard herb crusted salmon was a quick one I rustled up for dinner a couple of nights ago. I had a couple of salmon fillets in the fridge and fancied something a little more exciting than our usual plain grilled salmon. The herby topping was made in about two minutes with a few ingredients I had to hand whizzed together in my processor. And Read Post
Sweet Potato + Venison Shepherd’s Pie
There’s been a whole lot of pizza and cake being eaten this week, so it feels like time for something a bit lighter. This venison shepherd’s pie is the perfect healthy winter’s meal. Swapping the usual potatoes and lamb for sweet potatoes and venison makes this incredibly healthy whilst still feeling like a really hearty dish. I bought this mince from Seriously Good Venison at the Read Post
Nutty Avocado Quinoa Salad
Two great things happened in the making of this post. One: I magically managed to get the white balance on my camera perfect meaning these photos required zero editing (a rarity!). Two: I found an avocado that was both perfectly ripe AND perfect enough to look pretty in photos. Seriously guys, these are the things that make me happy these days… Oh! And of course Read Post
Cinnamon Apple Baked Oatmeal
As soon as November arrives my obsession with cinnamon apple baked oatmeal begins once again. It makes a perfect warming breakfast that’s healthy yet satisfying. Eat it with a big dollop of yoghurt and I guarantee you’ll start your day off right! I’ve still never quite managed to become a morning person (someone teach me please!?). Having something like this to hand makes everything a little Read Post
Warm Halloumi Butternut Squash Salad
If I were a vegetarian (unlikely to ever happen!) I imagine there’d be a very high percentage of halloumi in my diet. It’s one of my favourite cheese’s – which is a tough gig, let me tell you – and is so versatile. This warm halloumi butternut squash salad is a slightly healthier take on cheese. The salty halloumi and sweet. nutty butternut squash pair Read Post
Lemon + Garlic Roasted Green Beans
Until recently I always thought I didn’t like green beans. I’d only ever had them boiled, which I find only serves to make them slimy and bland – ugh. Roasted green beans, on the other hand, are a beautiful thing. Roasting allows you to easily add seasonings and gives them a slightly crisp texture. These lemon + garlic roasted green beans make a great side dish for just Read Post
Peri Peri Cauliflower Bites + Garlic Dip
You know when you eat something that’s so tasty and satisfying that you can’t possibly believe it’s anything other than horrendously bad for you? Well, I had one of those moments after making these little bites of goodness a few days ago. I don’t mean to blow my own trumpet too much but these sticky, spicy cauliflower bites are seriously incredible, especially considering that they’re 99% veggies. Read Post
