Pumpkin, Chickpea and Coconut Soup
This take on the classic pumpkin soup is packed with vitamins, minerals and gut-friendly fibre. Chickpeas are rich source fibre as well as protein, giving this vegan soup a much needed boost. My pumpkin, chickpea and coconut soup is a hearty winter warmer, suitable for the whole family. My husband swears by adding the optional…
English Muffin Pizzas
These 5-ingredient English Muffin pizzas are tasty crowd pleaser. Perfect as warm afternoon tea, a side to tomato soup for lunch or cold in the lunchbox to switch up sandwiches!

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Every family has their own additions to make pumpkin soup a little special. Mine are coriander and coconut milk. This recipe is completely adaptable so don’t be shy. Don’t…
Quinoa Tabbouleh
Hopefully by clicking on this recipe you acknowledge that this is not a traditional recipe. I love the original, but I want to share my wonderfully simple (family friendly) version of tabbouleh.
