B to the rownies

Brownies are my go-to bake and I am more than happy anout the fact I've finally perfected my recipe. All brownies baked using the soon to be divulged recipe have been greeted with rave reviews that aren't just off my mum. They are the most versatile things you can bake, they taste like heaven and …

Healthy Crumble

As you can tell, if you follow me on Instagram, I've spent my entire weekend baking up a storm in the kitchen. It started off with granola on Friday evening (wild), the Hemsley and Hemsley banana bread with the addition of raspberry (crazy) and then finished it off with a 'healthy' rhubarb and blackberry crumble …

Friday Night Shenanigans

Hands up who else spent their Friday night making granola from scratch... I take it from the enormous tumbleweed that it was just me roasting nuts last night?! I've always been a lover of granola but I am also very aware that shop bought can be somewhat questionable and always has bags of sugar added …

It’s someone’s birthday somewhere right?

Some people may watch Man V Food when they are bored (yes, Stacey, that would be you) but I bake cakes. To me, cake and a cup of tea with honey make my day a whole lot better and yesterday, after a long ol' day in work and nothing to do with my evening, I …

A cake of cheese?

Yes this weekend was my first attempt at Paleo cheesecake and surprisingly enough it turned out pretty darn well. So, with my brown paper bag of dates and some soaked cashew nuts I put my apron on and got processing. The recipe I've thrown together really isn't that hard but you do need to make …

D’oh

To celebrate the fact it's Friday and the fact it's National Donut Day, I channelled my inner Homer Simpson and whipped up some of those delicious rings of dough and sugar. Now, as we (It's on Cardiff) are doing a month of health and fitness I've attempted Paleo donuts and considering they were moderately healthy …

Passion tart

You'd be wrong in assuming all 22 year olds would be hungover on a bank holiday Monday... Instead of spending my day hugging a toilet I've been casually rustling up a very berry and passion fruit Paleo tart. I made the recipe up as I went along so it will most likely be better next …

Want to hear a joke about pizza? Never mind, it’s too cheesy

What if I asked for your thoughts on a pizza base made solely from grated cauliflower, ground almond and egg? If they were anything other than "OMG that sounds insanely good" then you'd be totally and utterly wrong. That's EXACTLY what it was... Insanely good. This was my first attempt at a Paleo pizza base …

My quiche is SO quiche

So I'll just set the scene... The Sex And The City DVD is ready to play, there's prosecco in a glass and a quiche hot out of the oven. This, is my ideal Saturday night and probably one of the reasons I'm still single. I mean, how will I ever meet Michael Fassbender if I …

Coconut Convert

Since doing Paleo (75% of the time) I've had a severe lack of variety in my diet but coconut flour has totally changed that. I was eating far too much flaxseed and the only dessert I'd been able to make was brownies. Now I can have quiche, cupcakes, wraps and proper bread and pancakes! Don't …
