    Speckled Egg Easter Doughnuts

    This Easter, why not make Speckled Egg Easter Doughnuts that are gluten-free, topped with chocolate glaze and crushed speckled eggs.  What’s the secret to Gluten-Free Doughnuts? Traditionally, doughnuts are deep-fried and they absorb a lot of cooking oil in the cooking process. In addition, many bakeries cook their doughnuts in shortening, a fat often loaded with trans-fats. The solution – delicious baked doughnuts that are cooked in the oven with just a little bit of coconut oil.  It is super easy to make baked doughnuts at home and a lot healthier than the deep-fried versions. I purchased a doughnut pan at Home Stuff Hillfox, but you can also look for…

    Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Chia Pudding

    Today I am making Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Chia Pudding, using Blueberry Powder from Chayah Foods and Coconut Yoghurt from Woolies.  This Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Chia Pudding is going to be your new favourite breakfast! I have mentioned quite a few times that Chia Pudding is one of my favourite gluten-free snacks and breakfasts, for a few reasons. Just two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 4g of protein and they are also a good source of soluble fibre – which is very soothing to the gut. Chia Seeds also contain iron and Omega 3’s and have a neutral taste, taking on any flavour you add to them, which means…

    Pantry Recipe: Egg Fried Rice

    Today’s recipe is this warm and comforting Pantry Recipe of Egg Fried Rice, cooked with veggies, egg, chilli flakes and tamari.

    Honey and Soy Noodle Bowl with Ina Paarman’s

    An easy lunchtime recipe for a Honey and Soy Noodle Bowl with Ina Paarman’s Honey & Soy Coat & Cook Sauce. I have always had a fondness for Asian-inspired dishes, so when Ina Paarman asked me which products I would like to create recipes with; my first option was their Honey and Soy sauce. Honey and Soy is a classic stir-fry and dipping sauce in Asian recipes but is also used to create sticky chicken wings or ribs. I decided to do a vegetarian dish because as I am sure you know by now, I try to eat more plant-based meals and love coming up with vegan and veggie recipes…

    Make Mushroom Alfredo with Bio XXI Fettuccine

    Last week I attended the launch to celebrate the BIO XXI RANGE now being available in SA and I decided to use the Bio XXI Fettuccine I was gifted to make Mushroom Alfredo. Before we get into the recipe to Make Mushroom Alfredo with Bio XXI Fettuccine, here is some more info on this new brand that has just hit our shelves. Bio XXI hails from Coronilla, a Bolivian family-run company, internationally renowned for its exceptional eco-social business model and Quinoa-based, gluten-free foods. When they say family-owned, they mean family-owned and the founder Diego and his mom welcomed us to the launch and even got involved in the cooking process.…
