I know, I haven’t posted a recipe in an age! Truth be told, I wanted to write this one down somewhere safe so I don’t lose it! I seem to be making lots of banana bread these days as the family run hot and cold with bananas. I can’t bear to waste them. I love…

Honey, honey….. what’s the best honey?
Honey, honey….. what’s the best honey? We were having a chat about honey in our Natural New Age Mum Facebook group the other day (email me to join!) and some of you weren’t aware of what honey is best to buy and which are best to avoid. So, here I am today to share some…
Warm Beetroot and Purple Carrot Salad

Cheese and Spinach Rice Cakes

Strawberry Coconut Slice (gluten free, dairy free)
Strawberry Coconut Slice (gluten free, dairy free) How good is strawberry season??? So cheap and so yum. Strawberries are however one of the most heavily sprayed crops. If you can’t get organic, make sure you give them a good wash to get as much pesticide off as you can. This slice is super soft…
Chicken and Spinach Fritters
Chicken and Spinach Fritters I love a good fritter! Crispy, crunchy, salty and savoury. Yum. The good thing about fritters is that they are a great budget meal that is kid friendly too. Use up your leftover meat and veg and make them stretch further. These Chicken and Spinach Fritters are a bit different to…
