To be fair, it’s not much of a recipe, rather just an idea to share. My boy is on a restricted diet, which is beyond being a picky eater. He has sensory issues with food, with lots of food groups. Therefore he’s almost exclusively on a diet consisting of pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, cheese and cereal. On good days he eats the ham hidden between the cheese slices in his sandwich and drinks some smoothies. That’s not much to work with when you’re trying to feed him with healthy food. So I try everything to sneak some extra goodness …

Have you ever tried Caribbean food? It’s vibrant, colourful and bursting with flavours. The combination of sweet and piquant, the mild fruity flavours and the aromatic hot sauces are a special fusion of a multicultural history. African, Latin-American, Spanish, Creole and some other cuisines are all blended into Caribbean flavours. I absolutely love it, however, it is traditionally heavily meat based. But with a little twists here and there, you can cook great vegetarian or vegan Caribbean style food at home. If you are in London during the annual Caribbean Food Week (21-28 of August 2017), then make sure you …
Yummiest Superfood Salad Recipe With Indigo Herbs Giveaway
5 minutes read
After a bit of thinking, this is the best title I could have thought of. Yup. There’s so much goodness in this salad, that they won’t all fit in the title line. I think I mentioned this before, that my favourite salads are all a combination of both vegetables and fruits. The fruit always add a twist, a sweet kick to the dish. I love coming up with new and unusual combinations and keep varying my favourite, wholesome ingredients. My favourite supplier for healthy and organic ingredients is Indigo Herbs Of Glastonbury and I discovered them last year (read about it …
Savoury Butternut Squash – Broccoli Muffins With Feta
3 minutes read
These are just perfect to make on a rainy afternoon, and eat them all up whilst they are still lovely and warm. I have a very picky toddler and seems like my baby girl is following her big brother’s footsteps. Lucky me. Not. I was hoping that at least one child of mine will eat properly. Nope, I can keep envying other parents with their small children eating raw carrot stick and steamed broccoli, but non mines. Anyway, that is why I try to smuggle some extra healthy ingredients into their dishes and also hoping that they will venture beyond …
HAPS SuperFruits Drink Review – Plus SuperBreakfast Recipe
3 minutes read
I always believed in the “you are what you eat” theory and that nutrition is a key player in our wellbeing. Backed up by science and focusing on a certain area or problem, the right nutrition can be a lifesaver. Not only on physical but mental level too. When Rik, the cheerful main guy behind HAPS contacted me, I was just having my annual dip in good old spring fatigue. As a mum of two mini energy bombs, I only have busy days. Yup, call it a cliche, but it’s a 24/7 duty. Luckily, I haven’t been physically ill lately, but …
We all know, just how bad refined sugar is for us. If you ever tried to cut down on your sugar intake, you know how hard it can be. Low-sugar and “sugar-free” substitutes are not healthy either (and they taste terrible). Dried fruits are great to satisfy your sugar craving. They are full of fibre, and antioxidants (especially figs and prunes), and they taste divine. However, it’s easy to overeat them and they contain the same (naturally occurring) sugar as the fresh fruit itself, but concentrated. Use them as a natural sweetener. These raw mini energy bars also contain nuts …
