Smoky Veg Bean Chili In the Summer, I love the long days, the glorious sunshine, the abundance of fresh salad and fruit, experimenting with ice-cream and times spent lazing on the lawn. In the Summer… I think Summer is my favourite season! 🙂 But now it’s winter I love waking up and hoping there is a frost; that the shed roof is shimmering…
Crusty Bread: Gluten & Yeast Free The smell of fresh bread brings back so many thoughts, so many memories and so many aromas! I remember walking to the shops to get freshly baked French sticks and tearing off chunks on the way home; home baked bread straight from the oven slathered in melted butter; the kitchen full of warm doughy…
Festive Feast Ideas! (Free-From too)!!! This week I had absolutely no idea what to post! I’ve been eating of course but mostly pumpkin (again) and chickpeas (as usual)! 😛 So I decided to do a round up of recipes instead to help you get some ideas for the festive season! 😀 This was great fun to look through all my…
Pumpkin Loaf! Gluten-Free & Vegan! Well, this wasn’t a planned recipe at all! I was making pumpkin pie and couldn’t decide on savoury or sweet, so divided my mix to make one of each! Hubby asked if my cake (I guess the batter all alone in a dish looked like cake mix) was ready to go in the oven and suddenly…
Perfect Pumpkin… Everyone has pumpkins on their blogs! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin costumes, pumpkin carvings, pumpkin pancakes even pumpkin truffles! So, seems though it’s the season for them and I don’t have any pumpkin recipes on my blog yet, I thought I’d have a play and see what I could come up with! When I was much younger and…
Fritters! Yumyum! You know when you’re hungry but don’t want to eat junk? When you open the fridge and there’s nothing to eat (apart from a drawer full of vegetables and a carton of coconut milk)? When there’s no bread in the house, no ready meals (aka something you made previously and froze)! not even a stash of pancakes!? 😛…
Back to Basics: Roasted Vegetables Crispy outside, soft and tender inside, a hint of spice and a whole load of flavour! What’s not to like? 🙂 In the UK the weather has most certainly turned Autumnal, several people have already fired up the central heating and the coats have come out of hiding! There is a definite chill in the…
Back to Basics: Rainbows & Green Smoothies Recently I’ve been getting my greens in the form of smoothies! You can’t imagine how many people turn their noses up at that! 😛 Smoothies yes. 🙂 Green smoothies no! So, just because of the colour it becomes less tasty? Really? I’ve added this to the back to basics series (along with crumble, pancakes…
What’s in your pantry? A peak inside the LifeDietHealth kitchen! A photo of some shelves!? That’s not what you usually get here at LifeDietHealth! Today I’m letting you have a sneak in our pantry! I haven’t moved anything or ‘re’moved anything so there might be a couple of items you wouldn’t expect! (blame the boys!) 😛 So let’s have a closer…
Balsamic Dressing… umami those veg! It’s cold! No two ways about it! Over the weekend the UK has suddenly gone from ‘okay to leave the house without a jacket weather’ to ‘thick socks, gloves and hat weather’! Last week it was 16 degrees most days and suddenly there’s a frost when I wake up! Colder weather means more warming foods – soups,…
