Berry & Mint Fruit Salad with a Honey Lime Dressing
Ok, so this is hardly a recipe (throw some fruit in a bowl, scatter over some mint, sprinkle over a secret dressing and it’s done) but it looked so spectacular and went down so well when I served it at a recent BBQ that I …

Courgette Pizza Bites
OMG These might be the best appetisers ever! When life (Lupus) doesn’t let you eat pizza, these are definitely the next best thing – and they’re veggie based so they’re healthy and you can eat as many of them as you want? Right? So simple …
3-Ingredient Salted Nut Brittle
After the success of my no-sugar Coconut Ice, I decided to have another go at making a different sweet that I used to love as a child – Peanut Brittle. I knew it would be impossible to get the crunch of a peanut brittle without adding sugar …
Fellow-Blogger Friday #2 – Courgetti Spaghetti Round-Up

Spicy Chicken Curry with Cauliflower ‘Rice’
I like my curries flavourful and quite spicy. I’m not a huge fan of the creamy ones or the mild, coconutty ones, I prefer them to pack a punch so I went about creating one to warm us up on a wet, rainy English summer …
Grilled Halloumi, Caramelised Shallots, Green Bean & Pine Nut Salad with a Lime Dressing
So, after the Roasted Peach, Feta & Pistachio Salad, the second salad that I decided on for our BBQ lunch was this Grilled Halloumi Salad. Halloumi is always a crowd pleaser and I think it should be at every BBQ, although if you can’t eat …
Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Quiche

Coconut Ice
I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth, luckily for me as I don’t eat any refined sugar (I eat honey and naturally occurring sugars in fruit etc, but no sugar, agave, coconut nectar, stevia etc) but I was really craving something sweet after my dinner tonight. …
Grain-Free Almond Flour Pie Crust
This recipe is a really easy one (much easier than making real shortcrust pastry – and much more forgiving). It’s only 4 ingredients and comes together in a flash. It can turn a midweek supper into something that feels much more special and seems like …
