Here’s a simple 2 minute Homemade Orange dressing that we made for our salad this afternoon:
Ingredients:
Simple, easy and zesty! Free of additives, preservatives and sugar, completely natural and super flavourful!
Why not try with lemon or a grapefruit or even a couple of limes?
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!

Here’s a little tip for you if you ever run out of quinoa flour:
Simply make your own in a quarter of an hour!
Here we have located our 5 kilogram queen of quinoa store! 👑
For approximately 3 cups of flour just 2 cups of grain we’ll need to pour. 
In a skillet toast 2 cups of seed on medium heat until the grains begin to pop.
Then you want to lightly stir for 2-3 minutes before the toasting can stop.
Place the grains in your coffee/spice grinder or Vitamix to finely blend…
And in 30 seconds you’ll have quinoa flour to send…
To your recipes with homemade cheer…
and next time you run out of flour you’ll have no fear!

JA ladies x
It’s Bank holiday Monday and there is an all round vote for Pizza tonight… Alas! We are out of flour and so this poses a real dilemma in our household this evening…
Do Not Fear inspiration is here! We happened to find another jar of ground flax seed in the pantry earlier this evening 👌
Ingredients:
Flax seed measured into our mixing bowl….
Add all ingredients…
See that baking powder beginning to foam!
Mix all ingredients together and leave to thicken for 5 minutes…
Roll out mixture onto a silicone tray to desired thickness
Shaping this pizza fair and SQUARE ☺️😂 ( Well it became more rectangular actually!) then bake for 15-20 minutes
Et voila! The mixture solidifies and turns a wonderful brown crispy golden colour.
You can see that the base has solidified and begun to rise from the silicone sheet…
Now to spread our Perfect Pizza Sauce…
And apply toppings! First fresh organic leaf spinach…
…and now organic washed broccoli including thinly slicing the stalks…
…finally some sliced organic and washed yellow pepper
Completed with a sprinkle of salt, ground pepper and mixed herbs 👌
Into the oven for a further 15-20 minutes then your flax crust pizza is complete.

You’ll need to peel and give your garlic cloves a chop…
…and into the jug with the oil you pop….
All of the ingredients into your blend ready to whir!
And in 30 seconds your hummus is ready to stir!

We adore experimenting with new plant based pizza bases! No two pizza bases are ever the same. We can decide upon different thicknesses, different oils, different flours, different seasonings, between crust or no crust – oh the decisions and choices are splendid! Any excuse to use our imagination!
This evening (mid-week) we were looking for a quite light and a not very crunchy base (since we are planning crunchy toppings!)
Add the coconut flour and tapioca flour first and sift through together, we find this really helps to ensure the flours are mixed thoroughly when kneading. Tapioca flour acts rather like a glue that holds everything together – the coconut flour is extremely powdery and not a replacement for ordinary flour. If you don’t have tapioca flour we sometimes use buckwheat instead.
Add the rest of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and knead well until it forms a dough.
Then dust your pizza pan with a sprinkle of coconut flour to make sure the bottom doesn’t stick.
Now don’t worry if the dough is crumbly it won’t be when it bakes! However we find rather than rolling out into a flat dough we can just pour the mixture on top of our pizza pan and mould to the shape of the pan 
Press down the mixture by pressing lightly with your fingers on the mixture or small rolling pin. 
Then cook until base is solid and the base begins to crisp at edges – estimately 15-20 minutes.
Then spread your Perfect Pizza Sauce and simply add your toppings – as you can see below, we chose potato slices, Kale broccoli and onion for tonight’s pizza!
D.E.Licious 👌😋
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 👌🍅
Voila! A delicious nutritious lunch 😋
