I have a confession…….I’m a condiment addict!! Sauces, dressings, oils, butters – yes please! Vitamix is the PERFECT tool to whip up sauces and marinades to make all of your meal prep and veggies taste amazing!

I know I’ve said it before but fruit crumble is terribly nostalgic for me. Growing up in Wales my mum would regularly make crumble with the fruit we would harvest from the garden. Usually rhubarb, wild blackberries and apples.

As you know from my recent post here cooking with seasonal produce is what is natural to me. Seeking out what is growing right now and using it for my meals is so enjoyable.

GUT HEALTH – we’ve all heard about it, but how can we improve it? Also why is it important? Well….when I think of gut health I think of Fibre as this is what feeds the good bacteria living in your gut…

Chia Pudding is something you HAVE to add to your repertoire, it is so easy to make! It’s just chia seeds, nut milk and then leave it overnight….I mean, seriously?! You can get creative with what you add into your milk (like I did here) or you can keep it plain and add delicious toppings (or you can do both of course!).

Look…I’m not one to shy away from a cheat day treat BUT since becoming a bit more health conscious over the last few years even for my cheat meal I like to keep away from refined sugar and processed food. I recently tried Sweet Nectar desserts and I was SO impressed!

KONJAC NOODLES I hear you say ??? Yes, they are a thing! The great thing about Konjac noodles is that they are easily digested into the body, great for weight loss, reducing processed carbs into your diet, awesome for meal prep…

I have been putting harissa on everything lately so I thought I’d share with you one of my new favourite combo’s 🙂 No surprises it includes kale and quinoa too! I have been making this so much lately because it is SO YUM!!

As you know I’ve done lots of posts on the topic of meal prep. To be honest I can’t stand the word as it makes me think of 5 day old pieces of salmon with limp bits of broccoli – this doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest!

Breakfast……..something I used to skip (what was I thinking?)…now I can’t function without nourishing myself upon rising 🙂

I haven’t done a recipe for bliss balls in such a long time and they are things I make pretty much every week for meal prep 🙂 Cacao and mint are one of my favourite combinations so I thought I would share this ever so easy and simple recipe with you!

This is my smoothie of the moment! I am loving the kick of spice that you get at the end! I have been doing a lot of meal prep recently and I’ve been making smoothie packs for this smoothie.

I’m sure you’re aware by now that I love a good hearty soup and I also love filling my freezer up when I am doing my meal prep days! I love this soup with the fresh and zingy lemon taste – perfect as we are coming in to spring!

I recently came across black bean spaghetti so I wanted to give my go-to spaghetti sauce recipe a whirl with this type of pasta. Black bean spaghetti is gluten free, vegan and I like to buy the organic version.

Honestly this reminds me of my mums fruit crumble SO much which is such an awesome food memory for me! This is so easy to make and I can guarantee you friends, family or loved ones will be asking for seconds. I try to limit my dairy so I use coconut milk ice cream and I find it compliments the dish really well.

Its cold so the next few months my recipes are going to be hearty, warming and cosy! I love making soup because it is so nutritious and you can make a big batch to store in the freezer for a rainy day! I wanted to do a kale and bean chunky soup with pesto and I was so impressed with the results – and it’s so easy!

I seem to be taking on a bit of a mexican theme at the moment. It’s completely non-intentional it must be what I am craving! Lets face it when it’s freezing outside a big bowl of warm vegetarian chilli with rice seems to tick all of the boxes.

It’s that time of year again…..and I’m NOT complaining! Its SOUP time. Growing up in the UK I had my fair share of soups and I can’t think of anything more yummy and satisfying on a cold winters day!

So easy and delicious…..and almost too pretty to eat! I think every other morning of the week I’m in such a rush so this bowl of yummy usually takes place over the weekend.

Homemade nut butters…….seriously, why would you ever buy nut butter again? I’m a big fan of activating my nuts before I use them for cooking as they are easily digested. This is so easy to do and you don’t need a dehydrator to do so.
