Ingredients:
Method: Add ingredients to Vitamix (or other high speed processor) and Blend!
We have been absolutely so excited about making our own homemade organic tahini, it’s so difficult to try and find it in the shops here in the UK. Tahini is scarcely available in supermarkets and organic tahini is even more scarce and so we realise, just like everything else, if you can buy it… you can make it 😉
We couldn’t believe how simple tahini is to make, it consists literally just of blended sesame seeds, (nothing our trusted Vitamix can’t handle!) and so after a wholefoods delivery of…..
…just a little delivery of sesame seeds😊 We were good to go!
To make tahini you simply need to blend sesame seeds! Here we go, half the jug full…
The mixture can warm up so you’ll need to open the lid, give it a stir and leave it to cool down intermittently.
The first time we made plain tahini we decided it was a little too thick and a little too plain for our liking and that’s how we happened upon this fantastic recipe!
We added an entire peeled lemon, a good dash of thyme and a splash of mineral water and after Some blending later…
Voila!
Oh it tastes so good – you just have to try this – you’re very own of lemon and thyme sesame cream ‘cheese’.
The lemon smell and creamy texture reminded us very much of lemon buttercream and suddenly – like a lightbulb lightening flash moment we thought – Why not use our icing tool!?
Oh swirly swirl… Mmhhmm
Well I say! Who said salads couldn’t look as pretty as cake 🎂!
We hope this post will inspire you to dress up your dressings and salads.
Enjoy! JA ladies x
Ladies and Gentlemen these Quinoa Balls are a delicious bite to eat! Round and scrumptious and so beautifully neat!
Ingredients
Fry your onions and shiny pepper red…
…Add and mix with salt, pepper and basil in their fluffy quinoa bed.
Use your hands to roll a handful of mixture into a neat and round ball…
…And whilst preparing do your very best not to eat them all! 😊😉
Serve with salad and enjoy your round burst of protein!
A meal fit for any Quinoa King or Queen! 👑
Ingredients
Peel, chop and steam your potatoes and carrots until soft. Ours usually take 30 minutes
Place your steamed vegetables in a bowl with mint, basil, sliced garlic cloves and salt and pepper.
Finely dice your red onion…
Mash together and stir in the onion. Do not use a blender the potatoes will become all gluey! 
Then fill an ice cream scoop with the mixture .
And place the balls on a baking sheet or oven tray.
We added a little olive oil for extra crispness however this is optional. You could omit the added oil if using a non-stick tray.
If you’re placing the balls in a stone pan however it is recommended to use a little oil so the balls do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you like them!
These were in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees. Just until they browned nicely at the edges.
Serve with salad and enjoy! 
Ladies and Gentlemen here’s a delicious idea to give your meal a nutritious start…It’s so wonderfully vibrant it is edible art!
Ingredients:
First wash out your leaves and lay them out flat..
Then lay salad items in strips…just like that!
We used julienned, cucumber, carrot, red onion and pepper too. Though you could add any fillings that you wish to. 
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper for extra spice and roll the green leaf up like a wrap, oh it looks so nice! 
We always find piercing a cocktail stick through the middle helps it to stay, so your delicious crunchy centres don’t unfold away.
Voila! There we go our wraps are ready and complete, ready for a delicious healthy bite to eat 👌 
Here’s another tasty tip…Why not serve our lettuce wraps alongside your favourite sauce or dip? 
We used to assume that Gnocchi was always made with potatoes and since converting to a gluten free diet we were determined to find a way to make it without wheat.
The great thing about making meals homemade is you actually have to learn about what you’re eating! Before we could make gnocchi however we had to learn exactly what it is!
According to Wikipedia Gnocchi are: “various thick, soft dough dumplings that may be made from semolina,[1] ordinary wheat flour,[2]egg,[3] cheese,[4] potato,[5]breadcrumbs,[6] or similar ingredients”
Wow, learn something new everyday! We had no idea you could even make gnocchi without potatoes. And so ladies and gentlemen we present to you a recipe for coconut flour gnocchi:
Ingredients:
Makes 15 gnocchi balls.
Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl….
Add flax eggs and mix well until consistency feels like a sticky dough.
A sticky, well combined PINK dough!
Then roll mixture into approximately 1/2 inch balls and leave to chill in the fridge for at least an hour ( or more) We left them for 2 hours.
Then heat a pan until it begins to boil. When the water is boiling add the little balls of gnocchi in. When they rise to the top (it’ll take about 2 minutes) catch them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Serve with salad…
And/or add your favourite sauce. We added a homemade blend of tomato and basil 👌🍅

Greetings, dear readers are you ready for something viral?
Please collect your cucumber, we’re sending it into a spiral!
Gather also some tomatoes and a bowl of chickpeas too,
A red onion and a beetroot that’s cooked all the way through.
Now chop all the ingredients and just a cucumber quarter,
Slice chop and dice them, don’t worry if some are shorter.
And mix them together with a dressing of your choice,
And the main salad is ready – *skip around and rejoice!*
Now take a vegetable spiraliser and hold it in your hand,
Place the cucumber inside, and you’ll soon understand…
That these sharp teeth cut the cucumber into noodles,
So not before long you have oodles of cucoodles!
Now spoon the mixed salad into the centre of a plate,
What a beautiful mix of colours together they create!
Then circulate your cucoodles around the salad on your dish,
And you’ve a splendid healthy salad, that’s looking rather swish!
We added some tomato slices to keep the circle trend,
Voila! Enjoyable moments of spiralising to you we send 🙂
Love, The JA Ladies

A quick protein-full salad especially for you!
Just half a bell pepper and a small onion red
And a spoonful of dried parsley or other herb instead.

And don’t forget a large bowl of cannellini beans!
