Fellow-Blogger Friday #2 – Courgetti Spaghetti Round-Up

Fellow-Blogger Friday #2 – Courgetti Spaghetti Round-Up

You say Zucchini, I say Courgettes, you say Zoodles, I say Courgetti… I love my Spiralizer!  It allows me to eat all those gorgeous pasta sauces that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to have (due to having to give up my delicious pasta).  It’s so easy to 

Spicy Chicken Curry with Cauliflower ‘Rice’

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

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

Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Quiche

I made this quiche using my Grain-Free Almond Flour Pie Crust Recipe and I blind baked it for 10mins as I knew I was going to have to bake it for another 10-15mins once I had added the filling.  My pie crust pan was a 

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

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 

Pan Fried Sea-Bream with Lemon & Caper Butter Sauce

Pan Fried Sea-Bream with Lemon & Caper Butter Sauce

A few too many ‘meat-heavy’ BBQs recently meant that we were craving a lighter dinner tonight so we decided that fish should be on the menu.  Settling on sea bream I decided to pair it with a lemon and caper butter sauce as I love 

Grain-Free Focaccia: Cherry Tomato & Rocket Pesto

Grain-Free Focaccia: Cherry Tomato & Rocket Pesto

I made my Grain-Free Sun-dried Tomato & Olive Focaccia last week and loved it so much I’ve been dreaming about it ever since!  Tonight I decided to make it again but change-up the ingredients.  I settled on cherry tomatoes and a homemade rocket pesto to 

Lime & Garlic Salmon Skewers

Finally it seems Summer has arrived in England – which means more BBQ time!  I was heading back home to see my parents tonight and we decided it was time to fire up the barbie and have dinner outside.   We had some salmon in the 

Easy Salsa Recipe

Easy Salsa Recipe

I don’t like to buy dips from the supermarket.  I find that 99 times out of 100 they will have sugar added, which is so unnecessary (it hides in everything these days) or some sort of binder like potato starch or maize/rice flour or guar 

Lure Fish Kitchen, Hampstead, London

Lure Fish Kitchen, Hampstead, London

Tonight was a dinner out with Dan’s family and as his brother Chris is due to have his baby any day now (and his girlfriend Emma-obviously Chris isn’t having the baby), it was suggested that they stay near home and we meet them at a local restaurant.  They 

Granger & Co – Girlie Brunch

Granger & Co – Girlie Brunch

Knowing how much of a fan Matilda is of the avocado Aussie Brunch (we travelled together in Australia earlier this year – and ate many brunches!) I picked Granger & Co for a Saturday Brunch Treat.  I’d heard great things about the restaurant but never
