    Grapefruit and Pomegranate Pavlova

    Over the weekend, I decided to make a Grapefruit & Pomegranate Pavlova, because Pavlova is one of my favourite gluten-free recipes. While you make think making a pavlova is difficult, it really isn’t, (promise) and this recipe has a little hack to ensure the egg whites hold their shape, SO READ ON! The pavlova is whisked up till it is a heavenly marshmallow consistency and then shaped on a baking pan lined with baking paper. Once it is removed from the oven and cooled, you can top with coconut yoghurt, grapefruit segments, pomegranate rubies and coconut chips.

    Creamy Tomato Butter ‘Chicken’ Curry – Vegan Tomato Butter Curry

    Autumn is here there is a chill in the air and warm comfort food is a must, so I am serving up this delish Creamy Tomato Butter ‘Chicken’ Curry (Vegan Tomato Butter Curry) #MeatFreeMonday dish using ZZ2 Classic Round Tomatoes.

I think it is as good as the original dish. 😁 Creamy Tomato Butter ‘Chicken’ Curry Usually, the sauce for butter chicken is loaded with butter and cream, but this version uses coconut milk, as it is a dairy-free alternative.

    Orange and Chocolate Bliss Balls

    These healthy Orange and Chocolate Bliss Balls are delicious little morsels packed with energy and wholesome ingredients. Also known as ‘Jaffa balls’ (if using orange flavours), or ‘protein balls’, bliss balls are made by combining nuts, dates and coconut.  I think the word Bliss must have come from the bright idea of adding cocoa or melted chocolate to these little bites. Don’t these Orange and Chocolate Bliss Balls look pretty! 😍   They are one of the best snacks to have on hand, especially when we are running around like a crazy person and need a quick on the go snack. Dates are naturally sweet, so these Orange and Chocolate…
