Gut-Friendly Green Swish Chard Soup
This Gut-Friendly Green Swish Chard Soup is, as the name suggests, made with leafy, vitamin-rich swiss chard. A relative of beetroot, it’s high in vitamins A, C and K, as well as iron, magnesium, manganese and potassium. I find this leafy vegetable much easier to stomach than Kale, so I decided to use it in soup. My mom and stepfather Gerry have been visiting us since Easter and yesterday he got a very painful abscess. It is so bad that it has given him a fever! Luckily enough he was able to get an emergency appointment at the dentist, but the tooth had to be removed. He isn’t able to…

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. The hearty and warming Creamy Tomato Butter ‘Chicken’ Curry is packed with all the spices and flavours that go into a butter chicken, but without using any chicken. 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. Coconut Milk…

Hands up if you’d like a warm mug of Soothing Pink Beet Moon Milk? This pretty pink drink isn’t filled with colourants, but rather uses Beetroot Powder, Maca and some aromatic spices… If you’re in dire need of a peaceful nights sleep before the week begins, it might be time to sip on a warming cup of moon milk.

Making the Soothing Pink Beet Moon Milk…

How to Make Maple Tahini Paste
On my last visit to the Zero Waste Store, The Refillery, I filled up one of their brown paper bags with some sesame seeds with one blog post in mind – How to Make Maple Tahini Paste. Now I love tahini – it is almost like peanut butter, but slightly richer and has a mild bitter tang. It is quite a versatile sauce and is used to make hummus and baba ganoush, but it can also be used in some not so obvious ways – such as drizzled over ice cream, salad or a bowl of granola. Tahini is naturally vegan and gluten-free, tastes nutty and is dead simple to…

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Over the weekend, I discovered an irresistible protein-packed snack – Crispy Roasted Chickpeas😍 These little morsels are super easy to make and have endless flavour variations! They are so moreish that I hardy had any left to snap pictures of, as I kept eating handfuls straight out of the pan! Aren’t beans bad for IBS? The answer is YES sometimes, but also NO not always. Serving size comes into play, which you should always pay attention to if you have IBS, but also the kind of chickpeas is where the difference comes in. Canned chickpeas are easier to digest and a fair amount of the FODMAPs ‘leach’ out into the water,…
