Nutty Granola and Flapjacks - The Honestly Healthy Way

When it comes to cereals and 'healthy' treats, I feel like I never really know what brands to trust. For January I've experimented with homemade recipes so that I can be sure what I am eating is wholesome and nutritious. Honestly Healthy is a fab recipe book which focuses on eating the Alkaline way and avoiding acidic foods which can affect digestion. This post is inspired by their 'Sticky Seed Flapjack' recipe which is jam packed with nuts, seeds and fruit. I've taken the recipe one step further by making a homemade granola with the ingredients and whipping up a dreamy breakfast with the results. 

Thai Yellow Curry with Salmon - the simple way

Cooking is hobby I really enjoy especially when I have a day off where there's plenty of time to experiment and cook from scratch. So when I had a bit of time off over Christmas I decided to have a flick through some new recipe books and get back to cooking. I was given the Honestly Healthy alkaline diet book by Natasha Corrett and Vicki Edgson as a gift for Christmas. It includes plenty of colourful and inspiring recipes that I'm dying to try. This curry recipe seemed like the perfect warm and comforting meal to cook my family. However it seems that many authentic recipes, like this one, include ingredients that you can only use that once and you end up purchasing a lot of spices and oils that sit in the cupboard for years with no use. So I've tweaked this recipe by using ingredients that can be used for countless meals and are easy to track down whilst keeping it's traditional taste. 

Christmasy treats | Florentines

If you believe that women in fashion don't eat you are very wrong. We eat a lot. It is fair to say that nothing goes down better at work than when someone appears with some foodie treats (usually demolished within minuets). So for Christmas I thought I'd feed my fellow Personal Shoppers these chocolate florentines. They went down very well so I thought I'd post the recipe. Its a great idea for a gift for a group of people especially at Christmas and its super easy!
