Maple, Walnut and Coconut “Bacon” Cookies

By in Desserts & Sweet Treats, Snacks

Difficulty: Easy Makes 24 cookies (approx) I told you that my Coconut “Bacon” was versatile! As winter rolls around, smokey and maple flavours go so well together, which is why I whipped up this batch of maple, walnut and coconut “bacon” cookies.

Coconut “Bacon”

By in Gluten Free, Lunch & Dinner, Snacks

Difficulty: Easy Makes one and a half cups For some reason, there seems to be bacon in just about anything lately.

Ceviche

By in Lunch & Dinner, Recipes, Snacks

Difficulty: Easy-Medium Makes 2 rolls I’m trying to cut down on carbs as a part of my health kick but sometimes you just gotta have sushi. I prefer brown rice to white rice anyhow, so it’s a much healthier decision for this dish. The tempeh is grilled to make it super crispy without the need [...]

Cannellini, Fennel and Rosemary Pâté

By in Snacks

Difficulty: Easy-Medium Makes 2 ramekins Only recently have I delved into the world of fennel and so far I absolutely adore it. Cooked or raw, it’s totally delicious and has so many bitchin’ applications. I’m also a sucker for a good dip, so I decided to throw the fennel in with some cannellini beans, rosemary [...]

Dehydrated Cheesy Kale Chips

By in Snacks

Difficulty: Easy Makes one large bowl We all know by now that kale is basically king of the veggie patch; it’s high in iron, calcium, fibre, vitamins C, A and D plus it’s good for a whole bunch of other stuff too! My brother got into dehydrating in the nineties but I’d never really thought [...]

Mock Prawn and Ginger Steamed Dumplings

By in Food, Lunch & Dinner, Snacks

Difficulty: Easy-Medium Makes 16 Oh look, some more dumplings that I’ve made! I’ve gotta say, I’m getting pretty darn good at making these little morsels of flavour explosion.

Baked Cinnamon Donuts

By in Desserts & Sweet Treats, Recipes, Snacks

Difficulty: Medium Makes 12 Oh. My. God. Why have I not made donuts before?! To be honest, it just didn’t strike me as worth it until I started to crave them recently but I’ll be the first to admit I’m an absolute IDIOT for not trying them until now. While they do take some time [...]
