Menopause Article as featured in Rutland Pride July 2021

One of the biggest things that Davina McCalls’s appearance on Channel 4 talking about Menopause has had is to open up a dialogue to enable women to talk about what’s normal. One of the most common questions I hear when working with perimenopause and menopausal clients is “Am I going mad?” It’s safe to say you’re not. As we go through perimenopause and into menopause we experience profound changes and often find it hard to cope, yet putting on a brave face is what we’ve been conditioned to do. Sometimes we have to admit we’re not OK, and that’s when the healing starts. The last 18 months have

Chocolate Cake for National Chocolate Cake Day 2021

I'm celebrating National Chocolate Day with a chcolate and raspberry cake recipe. So many times we think of cake as a treat when in fact it is depleting us. Often the gluten and sugar in it is actaully not supporting us, our health or our immune system so I love creating recipes that are gluten, dairy and refined sugar free. This recipe is so healthy yet comes out so light and airy and tastes amazing. I love combining these two ingrdients and this feels like a real treat and would even double up as a dessert for a special ocasion - remember those when we used to have dinner parties and real

So we bring you Spiced Cauliflower steaks. Dusted with spice and roasted until tender, then sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and fried shallots and served with greens of your choice. Delicious. 10 mins to prepare and 25-30 mins to cook Ingredients · 4 tbsp olive oil · 1 large

Innocent Marble Cake Millionaire Shortbread

It’s an amazing feeling when you get a really good millionaire shortbread, and this is one of those recipes that induces that feeling. I’ve made the most of the limited edition plant based protein that Arbonne launched as a special flavour in 2019. You could substitute with other proteins but I honestly think this gives an amazing flavour to the base, and is delicious in a shake too. Make sure you cut them into small squares as it’s totally indulgent, but oh so good. Ingredients For the shortbread base 220g ground almonds 150g ground cashews 80g 4 scoops Arbonne Marble Cake protein powder –

Energy Boosting Snack Ideas

Starting out on a new healthy eating lifestyle can be overwhelming. What can you and can’t you eat? What’s supporting you to provide optimum nutrition and what’s better used as an occasional add-on to your diet? It really can seem like a minefield but when you discover guilt free snacking it becomes simpler than you think. This is not going to be full of complicated snacks obtainable only from the most high end health food stores. Remember I used to be just like you - I was a sugar and carb junkie with a penchant for crisps, and I mean jumbo bags of crisps! I discovered that if I could crowd

Vegan Aquafaba Blueberry Lemon Muffins

I love these delicious blueberry lemon muffins. Bursting with the last of the fresh blueberries or utilising frozen ones, as I have done here, they’re a classic on my list of quick snacks to make in a hurry. Here I’ve used the amazing aquafaba, or chickpea water, to make them too. I find it’s best to use the water from organic chickpeas with no added salt where possible. These are not overly sweet so suit my taste as I’ve been reducing my sugar intake over the least 5 yeas and now find things I used to love are tooth achingly sweet! Ingredients · 250g all-purpose flour – see my flour blend in

Plantain Curry with Smoky Tofu Peanut Butter sauce

One of my rules is to get 30 different fruits, vegetables and herbs into my diet each week. It really helps to support your digestive system and add an extra boost of fibre and digestive enzymes to your gut. When I’m passing an International store I always take a look to see what different veg I can buy. Last week they had some beautiful ripe plantains in the store I visit most often on the way into Leicester. PAK foods is packed with things I’ve never even heard of and you’ll often find me googling ingredients to see what I can make before I buy it. I almost got caught out with the bitter

Faced with a teenager doing A levels and a Tiramisu craving and my need to stay gluten and dairy free I’ve been experimenting with recipes until now. Now I’ve cracked it I bring you the best Gluten and Dairy free Tiramisu you’ll ever taste. This was so good I made it for a dinner party last weekend and it didn’t disappoint guests with or without food intolerances. You could of course make this vegan too by substituting the eggs with linseed or aquafaba. Serves: 8 - 10 Ingredients: For the sponge layer: 3 eggs 175g Coconut sugar 175 ml rapeseed oil 175g gluten free self raising flour 1/2 tsp
