Recipes

I enjoy eating, but I don't have the patience to spend hours in the kitchen. If you're interested in simple and healthy meals, please take a look at the recipes below. I don't follow any specific diet; I just believe in eating real, whole foods. My philosophy is simple: "Love the food that will love you back!"

Hearty Bean Soup

My most requested recipe! Double up the ingredients and make a nice big pot to enjoy for several days.

Kale and Pineapple Smoothie

A fabulous way to get your protein and greens. Look for Lacinato kale as it's the mildest tasting kale for smoothies.

Quinoa and Feta Salad

This salad has a lovely refreshing dressing, with just a hint of sweetness (from maple syrup).

Pita Pizza

Keep this pizza healthy by using 100% whole grain pitas.

Healthy Banana Bread

This banana bread is made from wholesome ingredients, and sweetened with maple syrup (no refined or artificial sweeteners).

Chia Jam

Oh my goodness, this so exceeded my expectations, and the raspberries smelled divine as they were cooking!

Pumpkin and Ginger Bars

OMG, these bars are absolutely delicious and so easy to make.

Oat and Walnut Crumble Bars

They are delicious right out of the oven when they're super-crumbly but are equally jummy for the next few days if you store them in the refrigerator.

Strawberry Milkshake

Greek yogurt and Medjool dates make this "milkshake" delicious and healthy

Annie's English Pancakes

English pancakes are similar to French crepes. These are named after my dear mum who was a wonderful cook.

Perfect Pesto

This is lovely in the summer when basil is in season and easy to find.

Mac and Three Cheese

Forget about the box! This is well worth the little extra effort.
