Cacao Halva Fudge
This is a really easy recipe to make and in a few minutes you have created a tray of healthy snacks for the family! I’ve added a link to a short video below for the recipe if you would rather watch it.
Ingredients
Sesame Seeds x 2 Cups
Medjool Dates x 1 Cup
Organic Cacao (powder) – 1/2 cup
Vanilla Extract – 1Tbsp
Pinch of good quality sea salt
Agave Syrup (raw or the best quality you can find)
Superfood Toppings (optional)
Add the sesame seeds to the food processor and grind on high for a minute or two, add in the medjool dates and blend again on high for about 5 minutes. Add in the cacao powder, vanilla, salt and a squirt of Agave syrup if the mixture is too dry. You should then have a slightly sticky dough consistency (not too sticky).
Roll the mixture into balls or shape in a chocolate tray as per the video. Add superfood toppings of your choice if you have available.
I hope you enjoy this super easy recipe. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel for future recipes and holistic health tips and ideas.

Cannellini Bean Curry
I love this curry its so simple to make but so delicious! You can mix the curry ingredients up a little bit to your liking but this is the basic recipe that I use for this recipe.
Ingredients:
Coconut Oil (1-2tsp) use additional water if recipe is sticking
1-2 sticks of cinnamon
5 cardamon pods
3-4 sliced small onions
4 chopped garlic cloves
1-2tsp of chopped ginger
A mix of chopped vegetables like carrots, courgette, peppers etc.
1tsp of tumeric powder or freshly grated tumeric
4-5tsp of chilli powder
4tsp of ground cumin seeds
2 tsp of coriander seeds
4 Large tomatoes grated
Tin of carton of cannellini beans or other beans of choice
Additional chopped greens of choice
1-2tsp of Garam Masala
Salt & Pepper
Bulghar Wheat
Melt the coconut oil in a large pan, add in the cinnamon sticks and cook lightly for a minute or two. Add in the cardamon pods for a few minutes and then the onions, garlic cloves, chopped ginger and chopped vegetables. Add a small amount of water to the pan with the tumeric powder, chilli powder, ground cumin seeds, coriander seeds and grated tomatoes then simmer lightly for around ten minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add in the beans and some additional greens like spinach or kale and simmer lightly for a few minutes, add the garam masala and season with salt and pepper.
I cook my bulghar wheat in my rice cooker on the white rice setting with a little vegetable stock and sometimes some extra greens. You can also cook it in a pan of water similar to how you would cook white rice.
Enjoy

Oh this was soooo yummy! Lots of fresh colourful vegetables with a little tofu cooked in a Goan Curry paste and coconut milk. This has got to be one of my new favourite recipes, its so easy to make (as most of my recipes are) and is really delicious and nutritious.

Fresh Lemongrass (tbsp of chopped)
Galangal (thumb piece of)

Coconut Milk x 1 tin
Soy Sauce

Stir fry the garlic, lemongrass, galangal, chilies and onions for 5-10 minutes on a medium heat. Add the remaining vegetables and cook through with some additional water until almost tender, add in the Goan curry paste and stir. Add in the coconut milk and a little soy sauce and tofu pieces. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of soy! You can also add a little coconut sugar for sweetness if you like. Cook through until tofu is warmed up.

Spaghetti Bolognese
I love this dish, the sauce is light but with a good flavour, you could also use this recipe to make a speedy lasagne! I like to top mine with chopped chilies for some heat and some red onion or other salad ingredients but you could add chillies into the main cooking stage if you prefer. I added some beans into this recipe but they are not essential, I was just using up some fridge ingredients.
Ingredients
Wholewheat pasta
Garlic
Chilies (optional)
Onion
Carrots chopped into small cubes
Celery chopped into small pieces
Green Pepper chopped into small cubes
Vegetable Stock
Lentils
Beans (optional)
Tomato Puree x 4 tbsp
Tinned Tomatoes
Oregano (dried or fresh or parsley)
Chill powder (optional)
Salt & Pepper
Cook the wholewheat spaghetti in boiling salted water for around 15 minutes until cooked through. Meanwhile cook up the chopped garlic, onions and chillies (optional) for a few minutes then add in the rest of the chopped vegetables and a little vegetable stock to simmer away until cooked. Add in the lentils, tomato puree and tinned tomatoes and simmer away for a few minutes then add in the herbs (oregano). Add in a little chilli powder to spice it up if you wish at the end. Add in extra stock to create enough sauce and simmer to thicken. Serve with the cooked pasta.

It’s basically some garlic curly kale with mexican flavoured peppers and mushrooms with refried beans, homemade guacamole and homemade salsa.

Chop up all of the cherry tomatoes, blend very lightly if you wish, add in a squeeze of lime, finely chopped red onion, sliced chilies, and chopped coriander and season to serve.
Guacamole

Lime
A spoon of salsa
Coriander
Salt and Pepper
Mash up a whole avocado or more if your making a bigger quantity. Add in a squeeze of lime to your tastes, a spoon of the salsa, chopped coriander and season to serve.
Refried Beans
I used tinned mexican beans…mmm…you can make your own by mashing up pinto beans with stock garlic, water and seasonings.
Garlic Kale
Kale chopped
3 Garlic Cloves Chopped
Onion Chopped
Seasonings
Cook the kale up in a little water with the chopped garlic and onions and simmer until tender. Season to serve.
Mexican Spiced Peppers & Meaty Mushrooms
Red Peppers Sliced
Onions Sliced
Shiitake or other meaty mushrooms sliced
Mexican Spice Mix
Fry up the peppers, onions and mushrooms in a little olive oil or water and add the spice mix to your tastes. Season and serve.
