SuperFood Granola




We all know how I feel about breakfast - if you're going to do it, do it right. 

In an ideal world, every morning I would sit and relax, read a little, have some tea or coffee and cook up something delicious; all whilst still in the comfort of my pyjamas. Unfortunately I rarely have time to do this and sadly opt for no breakfast at all, always choosing to snooze for a few precious extra minutes when I'm getting up early for work.

Skinny Nutella




Everybody loves Nutella. That, my friends, is a fact.

Never have I met anyone who doesn't like the stuff - whether they have it on toast or with fruit, use it in baking or eat it just straight out the jar with a spoon (a very dangerous move and a sure way to end up holding an empty jar..) - everyone loves it.

Raw Banoffee Pie



After the success of the raw caramel slices that I made recently, I was more open minded to raw desserts and felt confident as to how a raw banoffee pie would turn out. Naturally though, I wasn't going to risk taking a dud pie to my friends for dinner so I had to make sure it was up to scratch before anyone else got to try it. 

I cut a slither to test and fell whole heartedly in love! It tasted just like a classic banoffee pie, but with the bonus of only containing the goodness of oats, nuts, fruit and coconut milk. I couldn't believe just how good it was.

Raw Caramel Slices




This was my first venture into the world of raw desserts and I have to admit, I was pretty sceptical.

My very first recipe on my blog was my Granny's Caramel Shortbreads, a recipe that is still a favourite and forever requested by friends and family alike. And though I have tried to create new versions of it - the goal being to create a similar thing but without dairy or wheat, they've been good, but they've never quite beaten the real thing. I've never been one to give up on a challenge; especially a self appointed one, so I've tried and tried and now I think I've finally gotten somewhere.
