From Hemsley and Hemsley… But with raisins as an extra! Super soft, dead easy and takes 30 minutes from opening the recipe to eating! 3 ripe bananas, squashed in their skins Plus 30g butter Mixed together. Then add, 1/2tsp bicarb of soda 1tsp vanilla essence 1tsp ground cinnamon 1tbsp lemon juice 3 tbsp maple syrup…

One large, or two small avocados – ripe A good squeeze of honey (I’m guessing 2tbsp) A splash of double cream (I’m guessing 1tbsp) 2tbsp cacao powder Put the avocado flesh and ingredients into a bowl and use hand blender to make a smooth paste. Eat. Or refridgerate then eat. Both good!

These are amazing! Lovely hot out of the oven, cooled, or pop any leftovers in the fridge and they set into a delicious chocolate slice. Really filling. Great for a snack. I can’t get enough!!

This is unbelievably good! Carb free, unless you serve it with rice. I made it as a meal for one, but you can make it for as many as you like – just make sure the dish you cook it in is not too small or the veg will stew and go sloppy. One chicken…

Thanks #waitrose! I also found half  a packet of chick pea and quinoa sides in the fridge… Tasty!

Let’s  see how dinner with these two ingredients turns out!  Slice aubergine into chips. Spoon out a rounded tbsp coconut oil onto a baking tray and pop in preheated oven at 200′. When it’s melted,  remove and spread the oil so it covers tray, then salt and pepper the oil. Turn the chips in the…

A lovely Christmas present from my Dad – a rose gold set of  kitchen measures. So beautiful, so easy to use – the honey just plopped off rather than getting  stuck to the measure. A delight. I used them to make the chocolate pancakes (scroll down) as I recommence healthy eating having grown a mince…
