Along with Indian food, Thai is up there with my favourites. It’s always full of flavour and tastes fresh and healthy! This is an easy recipe for making veggie or adding chicken, prawns or tofu if you wish. As with all the recipes I share, the more variety of veg you use, the more fiber […]

The ultimate comfort food
What is your ultimate comfort food? My absolute comfort food is macaroni cheese, chips AND garlic bread! BUT… fiber points = pretty much zero, unless I went to the bother of making the vegan version, but that just doesn’t cut it. For my new subscribers, just to update you on what the fiber points thing […]
Saturday Kitchen, Spicy Chickpeas
I have no image for this week’s recipe (without stealing one off the internet), so you will have to use your imagination!! I never use canned chickpeas, just because of the flavour of them. So, a bit of forward planning is essential if you are using dried chickpeas. And I would always recommend bulk preparation […]
Spicy Fermented Sprouts
I didn’t think I liked sprouts… to be honest, I had only tried them once and didn’t have a positive or negative reaction to them. My good friend Janice (of Nourished by Nature) said that at Christmas time, she made a spicy sprout ferment… I was inspired, so I gave it a go myself. I […]
Porridge… How do you take yours? Sweet, salty… or both??
Porridge… I think the sweet or salty, milk or water debate can be as divisive as pineapple on a pizza (it’s a solid yes for me!) How do you like your porridge? What are your rules? Me, I like both… sweet and salty in the same bowl… just like popcorn… yes you can mix it […]

Roasted Chickpeas – 3 flavour ideas

Baked Apple (well grilled really)
Warming up my breakfast… I like to have Greek yogurt with fruit, homemade granola, brazil nuts & kefir for my breakfast. I am getting my protein, fats, carbs, fiber, and ferments all in the first meal of the day… BUT I live in Scotland, and November is cold and damp… according to Ayurveda and Traditional […]
My Soup Challenge
I was listening to a doctor talk about one of her patients who turned his health around by including a smoothie every day that had 57 different ingredients in it. He would go to the farmers market and buy whatever was in season, put it together in batches and make it up daily. He went […]
