I often have a sweet tooth requirement! but I’m trying to eat less sugar. I’m trialling a few different ideas and today am making flapjacks with freshly picked apples and a little honey to sweeten . These are easy to make and a lovely ‘apple pie’ tasting treat which you can eat without feeling too guilty!
I’m always a bit wary when I claim to make an authentic dish as it will always have my spin on it! This is a really fresh salad which is great on it’s own on a Meat Free Monday with a little hummus and bread, or otherwise with some grilled fish or chicken if you like.
Tasty scrambled egg with tomatoes and spring onions, rolled in a multi grain wrap. Great for a quick supper or breakfast by the sea! I’ve got a little stove in my beach hut and so this is a nice little breakfast treat by the sea.
I’ve made a big bowl of this for a party. Hummus is great for dipping crudités or bread sticks into and also goes well with mixed platters of mezze, spread on bread or enjoyed with meats and salads. It’s a really useful addition to the table and it’s so easy to make. And making your own always tastes better!
I’ve actually used nectarines for this today as they were plentiful, but either peaches or nectarines will make this lovely dessert. It’s years since I made it but it’s still as good today as I remember it.
My lovely friend Victoria has brought me some fresh kale from her vegetable garden. I probably should be juicing it but, feeling naughty, have decided to make kale crisps. And do they disappear! Gone in a flash. Good snacking.
I love having something interesting in the fridge to drink and flavoured water is so much more interesting than just plain water. So here are a few ideas! Allow the flavours to infuse for an hour or two in the fridge. You’ll soon be drinking lots of water! Strawberry and cucumber. Orange and fresh ginger.
Slice a few strawberries and slices of cucumber and add to water.
Peel a piece of fresh ginger, cut a few slices and add to the water with a couple of slices of orange. Chill.
Watermelon and rosemary – 
Cut a few chunks of watermelon, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary to water and chill.

Courgette and onions in a creamy mustard sauce and tasty cheddar and breadcrumb topping.
I have a glut of courgettes, it always happens of course. I wait for the first tiny sweet courgettes to arrive and pick them when small but so often find that there are one or two big ones lurking under the leaves. And when they start growing it’s difficult to keep up. However they are easy to eat up in this tasty dish. Continue reading
