Pea & Cashew Pesto Pasta

Hi Guys!

I’m sharing a meal idea today that is a great substitute for those creamy, cheesy pasta meals we all love!

This is something that I missed when cutting out dairy and gluten from my diet, so I’m glad to find a meal that hits the spot- comfort food that is healthy!

The pesto is a recipe from Honestly Healthy, and is so simple and so satisfying!! It’s  really good replacement for pesto, which usually contains cheese. Even so, it is always nice to make your own and avoid processed foods!! This works out cheaper and literally takes two minutes to prepare.

All Natural: Shower Essentials

After my recent switch to all-natural cosmetics, I wanted to share with you guys some of the products I am enjoying at the moment. This post is about my three basic shower essentials- shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.

All natural-my skincare routine

Hi guys,

I thought today I would share with you my current skin care routine.

I stopped using traditional products this year due to chemical content, and after two months, my skin is doing really well.

Beetroot Coconut Brownies with Strawberries

Wow, these brownies are so tasty and healthy!

Free from refined sugar, dairy and gluten, they make use of beetroot and coconut flour-providing fibre, folic acid, manganese, and potassium.

Lentil Stew topped with Turmeric and Paprika Sweet Potato Mash

Looking for a warming Winter meal? This recipe is perfect for cold evenings by the fire, it is satisfying, full of flavour, and even the colours will help you feel more cosy in front of  the fire!

Beetroot Cacao Smoothie

I love to use beetroot in smoothies and juices. Not only does the natural colour really make for a treat, but the antioxidants and liver cleansing properties make beetroot an excellent addition to the diet. Consuming beetroot raw is ideal as it allows for quick and easy preparation, and also means that nutrients are not lost during cooking.

Beetroot is particularly high in folate and manganese, and contain special phytonutrients that are not common in other vegetables. These provide antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and detoxing effects.

Chocolate Banana Cake

This is my go-to recipe for banana bread… I call it bread, but this is really more of a moist spongy cake! It is perfect with tea or as a mid-afternoon snack when craving chocolate!! This recipe is gluten and dairy-free, as well as being free from refined sugars… what more can you ask for!

Red Lentil Soup

Lunch today was a red lentil soup which was inspired by recipe on A Cedar Spoon (which I found on Pinterest…where else!) As usual I didn’t have ALL the right ingredients so I made some slight adjustments here and there.

This soup is creamy and so warming, perfect for a cold day or just some comfort food! It also has a great flavour and colour.
