KEFIR CUBES
For smoothies, my go to is kefir. It has all sorts of wonderful things in it for your tummy like probiotics. They come in fruit flavours as well. I always get the unsweetened plain kefir as I want to control the sugar and I add […]
HOW TO
HEMP SEED PARMESAN
So first thing – there is no parmesan cheese in this. This is a cheese alternative so to speak. You’ve probably heard of vegan parmesan which is essentially a dairy-free replacement for parmesan cheese. Usually its a mix of cashews and nutritional yeast. I, however […]
BASIL OIL
As we get to the end of summer, your herbs may need their final pruning before it gets cold. A great way to use up your fresh herbs is to make a flavourful herb infused olive oil. It’s quick and easy and can be used […]
CINNAMON SUGAR
There are some spice mixes in the stores that are convienant. I saw cinnamon sugar and it’s so expensive to get it premade when it’s just two ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry.
CHARRED BREAD
Forget your toaster, there is something really special and wonderful about charred bread. I like to use olive oil and garlic. But plain is just as good. All you need is a grill pan and a loaf of your favourite bread.
BALSAMIC GLAZE
Making a balsamic glaze is really easy. It’s just reducing balsamic vinegar. This is a basic recipe that can be used for so many things. Drizzle it over crostini, cheese, even on strawberries with ice cream.
HERBED OLIVE OIL
Once it starts getting cold and I know my herb plants are at the end of their cycle, I will make herbed oil with them. It’s nice to have different flavoured olive oil and they are so easy to make. They’re nice to have on […]
DULCE DE LECHE
We all know and have tasted dulce de leche, but do you know what it is and how it’s made? I think people think it’s a product that has to be bought, but the truth is that dulce de leche is caramelised condensed milk and […]
OAT FLOUR
Oat flour may be hard to find, but is super easy to make. You can use any oats you like. I’ve used quick oats and rolled oats, but my favourite are steel cut oats.
FRUIT ICE CUBES
My drink of choice is water, with ice most of the time. So to jazz up my drink, I’ll put some frozen berries into ice cube trays and keep them in my freezer. They can be added to any drink, but I usually add them […]
