Cottage Cheese Crepes - High Protein and Low Fat

Cottage Cheese Crepes

April 7, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

A high protein breakfast recipe ready in under 10 minutes. Yay for Spring! With the clocks springing forward our longer days have returned, which means I can take more food photographs and share more recipes! I have a tendency to create and photograph recipes in real time, meaning that these beautiful low fat and high …

Sunshine Smoothie

April 5, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Gracewell Healthcare. Smoothies are a great way to get quite a few of your five a day into you in a delicious and nutritious way. I’ve been making smoothies for my family for years, and now that I own an Optimum 9400 high speed blender it means I can be a bit …

3 Ingredient, 100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

3 Ingredient 100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

February 7, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

For when you’ve got those chocolate cravings and don’t want to break the healthy eating plan! I’m not on a diet. I don’t even like the word diet. It implies that you are denying yourself something, a restriction of enjoyment, a temporary solution to a problem. Fad diets aren’t sustainable, and they’re not a healthy …

S'mores Granola Clusters

S’mores Granola Clusters

January 16, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

My husband is an ectomorph, bless his 69% merino wool Smartwool socks. This means that it doesn’t matter what or how much he eats he just doesn’t put on weight. Sometimes I stare at him from the other side of the dinner table, nibbling on yet another low calorie salad, glaring at him while he, …

Quick & Easy Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce

Quick & Easy Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce

January 15, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

I’m always looking for speedy supper ideas. As much as I love spending time over the cooker, some nights I really can not be bothered. Those nights tend to be the three nights in the week I’m working in our village co-operative – my ‘getting out of the house’ job where I work a few …

Dark Chocolate & Bourbon Vanilla Steampunk Cupcakes

January 12, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

An Optimum ThermoCook recipe. It’s our wedding anniversary this coming weekend. Two years ago in gale-force winds my husband and I got married. It was a small ceremony with close family and friends with an overnight stay in a hotel and a lovely meal afterwards. Nothing too extravagant. It was a steampunk wedding though. (You …

Coconut & Almond Granola Clusters with Blueberries

Coconut and Almond Granola Clusters with Blueberries

January 9, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

I’m not a boxed dry cereal with milk for breakfast kind of gal. I used to be. When I was a child I loved my Alphabits, Froot Loops and Cornflakes (sprinkled liberally with sugar – ah the things we did in the 80s!), but as an adult… I’m not. I’m not sure when that transition …

January 2, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

Happy New Year! I hope you have had a lovely festive period, and that the New Year was greeted with a bang. Have you made any resolutions? What sort of things did you get up to? Over the last few years we’ve started a new family tradition of bringing in the New Year watching the …

Raw Chocolate and Clementine Cheesecake with a Chocolate Hazelnut Crust

Raw Chocolate and Clementine Mini Cheesecakes

December 20, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

The idea for these raw chocolate and clementine mini cheesecakes with a chocolate hazelnut crust has been bumping around inside my head for quite some time now, ever since I tried The Rawtarian’s raw cheesecake recipeĀ a few months ago and was really impressed with how light and creamy the cashew based filling was after blending …

Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Fried Sage and White Truffle Oil

Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Fried Sage and White Truffle Oil

October 25, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Fried sage and white truffle-infused olive oil transform this soup into something really special. I’m not a big fan of dried sage. There’s something stale and unpalatable about the herb, I feel, so I tend not to cook with it. That was until fresh sage leaves began appearing in my veg box and I discovered …

Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake

Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake

October 17, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

aka how to salvage a failed attempt at making chocolate hazelnut spread. I like experimenting in my kitchen, I really do. Sometimes (quite a lot of the time, if I am to be honest!) it doesn’t quite go according to plan. I had a notion to make some homemade chocolate hazelnut spread recently. Ok, if …

Hummus Recipe

My Simple and Incredibly Creamy Hummus Recipe

October 10, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Freshly toasted and ground cumin and a touch of cayenne give this hummus recipe a nice kick. There must be at least a hundred different ways to make hummus, and we each tend to have our favourite version. Mine includes plenty of toasted and freshly ground cumin seeds and a generous pinch of cayenne for …

Veggie Zinger Juice with Matcha Green Tea

September 8, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Pure ChimpĀ #Supertea: 100% natural goodness. We all know how good raw vegetables are for our health. Sometimes, though, it can be difficult to get all the goodness of these raw vegetables into our bodies without eating piles and piles of salad. This is where a masticating slow juicer comes into its own. …

Kohlrabi and Cucumber Quencher

Kohlrabi & Cucumber Quencher

August 17, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

A refreshing blend of kohlrabi, cucumber, celery and apple. Ah, the humble kohlrabi – the sputnik of the vegetable world – what do we do with you? I have to confess that when this bizarre vegetable first made an appearance in my vegetable box I had to take to Twitter to identify it. I had …

Blackberry Breakfast Pops

Blackberry Frozen Yogurt & Granola Breakfast Pops

August 10, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Perfect for those hot summer mornings! These popsicles came about by accident, really. Not being one to refuse a reduced price bargain I found myself with a few punnets of blackberries in my shopping basket – best before that date. They were needing used up. I sat there eating my lunch pondering what I could …

Fruity Lemonade Ice Lolly

Fruity Lemonade Ice Lollies

July 27, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Summery, refreshing and slightly shilpet. My children absolutely love lemons. Serve some lemon wedges at mealtime with some salmon or with pancakes and you’ll find my younger two children sucking the juice out of the wedges with positive glee. They’ll nibble away at every bit of the fruit so that there is only a bare …

4-Ingredient Hazelnut Cookies

July 24, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

My Norwegian mother-in-law’s go-to cookie recipe! I have a confession to make. I haven’t cooked a single thing except for porridge for the kids’ breakfast for nearly three weeks! My mother-in-law had been visiting from Norway for a fortnight, and I’d taken on some extra shifts at work for holiday cover, which meant, to my …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars

June 23, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Because sometimes you just have to. I detest food waste. I really do. Back in February this year I made my husband a batch of experimental brownies as a welcome home treat after his adventures in India. The brownies were awful – truly awful. I’d put far too much cocoa powder in it, skewing the …
