Vanilla cinnamon Brookfarm porrij was on for breakfast this morning and I absolutely loved it! I would normally use oats to make a porridge, but I was recently given some Brookfarm products to try, and their gluten free porrij was one of them. I’m not quite sure how it is […]

Banana and cinnamon muffins with a twist
Banana and cinnamon muffins with a twist? What’s this twist, you say? …… avocado! 😮 You know I love to sneak ‘green things’ into the foods I cook for my husband…. particularly the green things he doesn’t like, and avocado is one of those. Mind you he has no issue […]
Sweet potato toast
Sweet potato toast hit the internet some time early last year thanks to Kelsey from Little Bits of having no bread in the house one morning. As a result, slices of sweet potato subbed as toast slices and the rest is history as they say. How’s that for thinking outside the […]
Banana porridge to warm on winter days
Banana porridge to warm on winter days… Yes! Absolutely necessary as we progress deeper into winter in the Southern Hemisphere. I was actually starting to think winter wasn’t coming for a while there. Now I think all the seasons are just a little delayed because it sure is chilly! This […]
Reduce food waste with frittata
Reduce food waste with frittata you say….. Yes! It may seem a bit of a stretch, but nothing could be simpler 😊 I was both honoured and privileged to have had the opportunity to attend a breakfast with Dr Jane Goodall this morning. She spoke about the poor health of […]
Buddha bowls for breakfast
Buddha bowls, breakfast bowls….. Whatever you choose to call these they are a wonderful way to include a variety of wholefoods at breakfast ❤️ I think we can all tend to get quite stuck on breakfast sometimes. We look straight to cereal, granola, toast, a muffin on the way to […]
Mini omelettes
Preparing a nutritious breakfast as you fly out the door can seem an impossible task some days. This is where make-ahead meals, like these delicious mini omelettes (or frittatas – whichever you prefer 😊), can definitely shine. They can be made in a big batch on a weekend, or a […]
Banana pancakes
Pancakes can feel like such an indulgent treat, but depending on your choice of ingredients they can also make a wholesome and nourishing breakfast….. or snack as is often the case for me. A delicious pancake needs very few ingredients as I’ve found, although they need a little more care […]
Carrot Waffles with a Golden Milk Sauce
I think by now we have established I have a thing for turmeric. I did mention it was going to appear in a lot of my savoury recipes, and this one is no exception! As I type I wonder how on earth I will get the yellow stains off my […]
Ayurvedic Spiced Carrot Fritters with Mayonnaise
I really enjoy making savoury fritters; I find it an easy way to cram lots of vegetables and spices into one tasty little package. They’re extremely portable making them perfect Uni snacks or lunches for me, and there are so many flavour combinations that can be dreamt up too! An […]
Maca and Cinnamon Pancakes with Blueberry and Macadamia Sauce
When I was youngster my Mother would make pancakes with lemon and sugar every year on Shrove Tuesday without fail. I loved that ritual, and loved spending the time with her in the kitchen getting in her way while she tried to cook them. That’s something I always did to […]
Zucchini Fritters with Mixed Herb Salsa
Weekend mornings for me always equate to a bit more time spent in the kitchen cooking a leisurely breakfast. Pancakes or fritters of some sort are generally my pick and I enjoy experimenting with different vegetables and flavours. These super tasty zucchini fritters are on high rotation here and perfectly […]
