Chickpea and Cashew Coconut Curry
Curry is one of the ultimate comfort foods in the world and it's not hard to see why. Its one of the most diverse dishes around because it can be customised and recreated in many different ways. 9 out of 10 times it’s a tikka masala for me because I’m a wimp with spice, but there are SO many different ones out there it's insane!

Mini Oat Bakes and Mango Cashew Breakfast Bowl
Oats are an insanely popular base for a lot of people’s breakfast around the world each and every day. Their slow release energy and high fibre content keep us fuelled and filled for longer, preventing unhealthy snacking and binging throughout the day. So it’s no wonder they are so popular!

Vegetarian Wrap Base Pizza
Pizza has got to be up there with being one of my all-time favourite foods, but the kcal it has…not so much. Wrap base pizzas have quickly become a superstar for all pizza lovers who are trying to watch their weight or lose weight and it's not hard to see why. The super thin base removes a TONNE of calories and makes extra room for the toppings!

Mexican Fiesta Bowl
Vegetarian Mexican fiesta bowl. Mexican food is one of my favourite types of food to eat. It’s always packed with flavour and is exciting and different! It’s also one of the simplest to cook and can be one of the healthiest if it is prepared and cooked right.

Lemon Curd and Raspberry Jam Stuffed Shredded Wheat Bakes
These lemon curd and raspberry jam-stuffed shredded wheat bakes (I know, it’s a mouthful) were made one day while I was messing around in the kitchen. My thought was a cornflake cake mixed with a stuffed muffin, but all I had at hand was shredded wheat!

Chicken Fajita Lettuce WrapsTop Story - December 2017
Fajitas are a favourite of mine and many other people too and these chicken fajita lettuce wraps are a low carb version of this much-loved meal. Me personally, I love myself some carbs, so in this recipe I added some brown rice to each lettuce wrap but to keep it super low carb, if that’s what you're aiming for, then just leave it out.
