Tangy and tasty this easy to make, no-bake, lemon and coconut square is a perfect summer treat. Reminiscent to many of their Granny's kitchen, this is an ages old recipe I’ve recreated and revised. The result is a healthier, chewy, delicate and subtle lemony flavoured coconut goodie to store in the fridge for a cool slice of something sweet to have on a hot summer’s day. Up the nutrition by adding sesame seeds!

Read MoreI love this pasta dish – so simple and healthy, so delicious and so quick to make. The main ingredients are grape tomatoes – either from a homegrown garden bounty or store bought in the pint containers, so you can make this year-round - olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs, pasta, parmesan cheese, or vegan parm, seasoned salt and pepper – most of these ingredients are likely already in your fridge and pantry.

Read MoreFlax eggs – like chia eggs – isn’t egg at all but rather a healthy egg substitute in vegan baking. A hen’s egg adds leavening (rising), binding, flavour and colour to a baked good where a flax egg or chia egg adds the binding but no rising of the batter. Flax eggs are best used in coffee cakes, pancakes, muffins and squares – baked goods that do not need a lot of rising.
Read MoreMongolian Beef Noodle – so many recipes on the interweb to choose from! This is my version – easy and straightforward. Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken and to add other veggies in to the mix, other than the peas and grated carrot – grated zucchini and finely grated cabbage are both lovely, diced mushrooms are great too and chopped broccoli soaks up the sauce for a burst of flavour. And make your own hoisin sauce – it’s SO worth it!
