Spiced Quinoa Porridge | . . Healthy eating before the festive binging. . . So this is my way of making my kids eat quinoa. You hardly realise it’s there, and tastes as delicious and comforting as we remember porridge to be. . . Slightly spiced, this makes for a delicious breakfast. Recipe link in bio 😃

Pasta Puttanesca ( Vegan ) | . . The simplest of all pasta recipes but the one with the most flavour. There is a time and place for rich and indulgent but for the most part, simple pasta has my heart. Tinned tomatoes are key to the dish for the astringent flavour and colour. I use Cirio brand (not sponsored) that are easily available these days in supermarkets or online. . . Anchovies are an integral part of this recipe, although it gets dissolved in the sauce, its very important for the bold flavour. To keep it vegetarian, and incidentally vegan, I have substituted it with the lip puckering brininess of capers. . . Recipe link in bio 😃

Strawberry Citrus Smoothie | . . Sometimes it’s ok to have a smoothie that’s thick and packed with ingredients. But sometimes, we want something light, delicious and refreshing. On one of those days, I made this and it was so cool and vibrant, that i have been making it often ever since. . . Hope you like it as much as I do. Recipe link in bio 😃

For those days when you aced the 4pm slump for something delicious.. 😈😈

Thai Red Curry with Lemongrass Scented Rice | . . This curry is lusciously creamy, with the wholesome goodness of coconut milk. To go with the curry, I know Jasmine rice is all the rage. I prefer lightly scented and the more exotic flavour of lemongrass, which somehow manages to be lemony and ginger spiked at the same time. This also eliminates the need to purchase a specific type of rice and ends up using all parts of the lemongrass and not just the stem. Win, win. . . I have used homemade red curry paste, which can be a fridge staple of stored properly. A quick flavoursome soup, anyone?? . . Recipe link in bio..

Anyone here missing the fairy lights and festive vibe of December?? I sure am.. 😩 all the twinkling lights have been packed up, sweets done, healthy recipes popping up everywhere, more people out for the early morning run.. January, you definitely have arrived.. 😐

Strawberry Jam Centre Muffins (Eggless) | . . You didn’t think I did share a jam recipe and not share how it can be put to multiple use, did you?? 😅 . . Remember the strawberry jam recipe I posted last week ? It can be put to more use than just on fresh toast. These jam centre muffins are gorgeously moist and the perfect snack box treat. Since they are made with whole wheat flour, they are filling and with a gooey jam centre, absolutely delicious. I have added some flaked almonds for crunch. They add some extra protein to the dish and taste lovely slightly toasted on top. . . Recipe link in bio 😃

3 Ingredient Strawberry Jam | . . The first time you eat homemade jam, the first question that pops into your head, at least it did in mine, “What in god’s name have I been eating for so long”. The store bought ones lack flavour and texture ( unless you buy the expensive ones which, let’s face it, is not a purchase but an investment ), that homemade jams have in spades. . . Strawberries are high in natural pectin which ensures the jam is the perfect soft set texture without any additives. It reminds me of exotic preserves you find in fancy jars at some high end brunch. Naturally set also means clean and fresh tasting. . . Lastly,the colour. It’s a brilliant scarlet red. It’s unbelievable, that all of it is just natural. It’s just Mother Nature gifted ruby red of the strawberries. . . Spread over fresh toasted bread, it’s just heavenly. . . Recipe link in bio 😃

Vanilla Cupcakes with Whipped Vanilla Buttercream | . . To celebrate a new beginning i bring you this gorgeous vanilla cupcake. Light, fluffy and with the comforting flavour of vanilla, it’s a classic for a reason. . . The secret to a good buttercream, all else considered, is making sure you whip it well. Make sure it’s aerated and fluffy. To that end, I would err on the side of it being soft than stiff. ( link for recipe in bio 😊). . . If there is one thing I have learnt from 2018, it’s this - if you aren’t healthy then it really doesn’t matter what else you are or have the potential to be. . . This new year, from the bottom of my heart I wish all of you the best wish I can think of, a healthy 2019. If this comes true, all else falls in to place. . . Happy New year, lovely people. . Much love, S.
