Vegetarian Whole Foods Made Simple
This elegant Chocolate Cherry Crisp is 100% whole grain and (almost!) refined sugar free. Oh friends, WHAT A WEEK it has been. We’ve had root canals, cracked fillings, antibiotics, severe allergy to antibiotics (who even knew THAT was a thing?), a blown out tyre on …
A healthy alternative to your blueberry muffin: The Blueberry Muffin Smoothie! After a particularly tortuous session in the dentists chair recently, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. Confined to a tepid liquid-only diet, I need something to lift my spirits and nourish me. Of course, a good …
Last summer, Kirk and I became pretty obsessed with this Curry Roasted Naanwich. It ticks all the boxes for me- quick, healthy, satisfying and super tasty! If you have followed the blog for a while, you will know that I love a good curry, (and naan, come to mention it!), but roasting summer vegetables with the aromatics I usually use in the winter months was quite the revelation for me, and something I have been revisiting with zeal this Summer!
Inspired by Erins Naanwich, todays recipe takes its cue from the traditional french ratatouille, except roasted, and with an Indian twist. The result is a relaxed, hands-off dish with beautiful depth of flavour and gorgeous colour. I like to pair this curried ratatouille with rice, but any grain will do. A handful of cashews or a drizzle of raita are also wonderful here.
Enjoy!

If you don’t fancy turning your oven on in the heat, add the curry-vegetable mixture to a foil packet and cook on the grill!
This courgette lemon pizza on naan is an easy and light meal, with all the fresh, bright flavours of Summer! Since rediscovering the concept of the Naan Pizza this winter, I have been on a little mission to come up with new toppings for quick, …
I enjoy salad any and all times of the year, but something about the Summer makes me CRAVE them. I chalk it up to bounty of fresh vegetables that are available, and the warm weather making me reluctant to turn on the oven. Besides using …
This bold broccoli stilton quiche with a whole wheat crust makes a hearty addition to any lunch, brunch or picnic.
Blue cheese is one of those divisive foods, either you love it or hate it. I am partial to strong flavours and am definitely partial to a cheeky slice of blue cheese (my favourite, by the way is Garstang Blue, and you should check it out if you ever find yourself in the North West of England!!). Eating Blue Cheese is discouraged during pregnancy, so my love affair with the stuff took a little hiatus last year and I was surprised to find that I found the taste of it overwhelming after James arrived. I felt cheated! All those months of longing, and I struggled to finish a slice!
Not to be perturbed by (yet another) weird postpartum quirk, I persevered, and am now pretty much back in the stinky cheese game. During that time of self imposed blue cheese rehabilitation, I whipped up this gorgeous broccoli stilton quiche. When cooked, the stilton melts into the egg mixture, and its distinctive taste becomes so much milder. Paired with the fresh broccoli and a nutty whole wheat crust, it makes for an incredibly easy, tasty and portable lunch or brunch. I like to serve it with a simple green salad, or eat it chilled and plain.
Enjoy!
Whole wheat crust is borrowed from one of my favourite resources 100 Days of Real Food.
