Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie Bowls

These have become a sort of obsession of mine recently.  Every other photo on Instagram (follow me at emmaeatsandexplores) seems to be of some beautifully presented concoction topped with chia or cacao nibs or sliced fruit and they really are, works of art.  Deciding to 

Pear, Prosciutto & Goat’s Cheese Salad

Pear, Prosciutto & Goat’s Cheese Salad

Tonight I fancied a salad, and having pears to use up I wanted one that would incorporate them.  Normally I’d turn to my old fail-safe: Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnut salad, but tonight I decided to try something different.  I love the combination of salty 

Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo & Avocado

This morning’s breakfast came about because I wanted to use a piece of my Grain Free Bread!  I looked through the fridge and decided to make a chorizo scramble to top the bread with.  A bit more exciting and tasty than traditional scrambled eggs, but 

Kale, Roasted Broccoli & Almond Salad with Lemon Dressing

Kale, Roasted Broccoli & Almond Salad with Lemon Dressing

Tonight I decided to give the new-to-me method of massaging kale a go.  Loving other people’s food blogs and keeping up with the foodie world, it’s something I’ve seen talked about a lot recently but never had a go at myself.  My go-to method of

Moroccan Spiced Lamb Burgers with Spiralised Cucumber Salad & Tzatziki

After a few days having eaten mainly fish – Dan was asking for something a bit meatier.  I thought lamb burgers were slightly more summery than beef burgers and I could freshen them up with the tzatziki to make them less heavy so I went about 

Salmon, Dill & Celeriac Fishcakes

Salmon, Dill & Celeriac Fishcakes

Tonight we had a bit of time on our hands so decided to do a dinner that took a bit more effort.  Fishcakes to me always seem to involve so many components (cooking the fish, cooking the celeriac (potatoes usually) combining everything and then re-cooking

Our friend Matt messaged us today with the news that he had a really decent bottle of wine that he wanted to get through tonight. With nowhere in London offering BYO on a Friday night I offered to cook steaks if he bought the wine.

Tonight I was staying at my parents’ house, and it was just going to be my mum and I as my dad was away.  We both like to eat the same thing and we both eat a similar diet.  Her’s is the Specific Carbohydrate Diet 

Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo

Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo

Typically a Mexican Brunch dish, I’ve become a big fan of Huevos Rancheros recently.  I love the spicy tomato flavour paired with the gooey egg and I also add avocado on mine to cool everything down. Breakfast? Brunch? Lunch? Dinner? Doesn’t matter – I could

Heading home for Father’s Day, the plan was for my brother and I to cook lunch for my dad – hopefully a BBQ, but in England you always need a backup plan in case the weather doesn’t cooperate. Luckily, the weather looked as if it

Caprese Chicken ‘Pasta’ with Courgetti Spaghetti

This post was published on my Courgetti Spaghetti Recipe Round-Up Tonight the weather was a bit miserable so I wanted something warming and comforting.  Not able to eat ‘pasta’ as such, I decided on cooking a Courgetti Spaghetti dish using my Spiralizer.  Longing to be back 

Forest Fruit & Blueberry ‘Cheese’Cake

Forest Fruit & Blueberry ‘Cheese’Cake

Heading to a hen party tomorrow, I wanted to make something a little bit special (but still healthy – so that I could eat it).  I’m not usually a huge fan of sweet things, and would always pick cheese over a dessert, but I knew
