I find most vegetable soups leave a lot lacking but not this classic Italian Minestrone Soup! It’s filled with all the vegetables plus some beans and pasta for good measure. This hearty soup will actually fill you up and given how carb-y it is already you don’t technically need to eat it with crusty bread although I still highly recommend it. One thing I love about soups like this is how easy they are to prepare....
When it comes to salad I won’t accept anything less than amazing. No matter how good it is for me, if it doesn’t excite me it just isn’t going to be made. My secret to creating drool-worthy salads is this - pop your favourite ingredients in it. And no, I’m not talking about lettuce (is that anyone’s favourite ingredient??). Roast Pumpkin would have to be one of my all-time favourite salad ingredients, followed closely by avocado and ALL THE CHEESE....
I am so excited to be posting this roast pumpkin pizza. It’s quick, easy and better than any takeout pizza I’ve ever had. I was never one of those make your own pizza dough type of people. I used to buy either a store bought crust or use pita bread as a base. But since I discovered the wonders of two ingredient dough I’m a changed woman. In 5 minutes flat I have a base that’s ready to be topped and put in the oven....
When it comes to crowd pleasing appetizers, it’s hard to beat bruschetta. Traditional bruschetta (like this easy bruschetta) is made with a mix of tomatoes and basil, but wait until you try this Tomato and Feta version! Fresh tomatoes, finely sliced red onions and creamy feta cheese are mixed with extra virgin olive oil, then piled high on top of grilled sourdough bread. I’ve popped the balsamic glaze down as optional but if it’s all the same to you spoon that glaze on top....
This Vegetable Soup with Orzo was one of the very first recipes that I put up on the blog. It’s hearty, healthy and a great way to pack some vegetables into your day. Featuring spinach and cannellini beans, it comes together in just over 30 minutes and does not skimp on the flavour! Serve it with a side of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich and you’ve got yourself a perfect lunch or dinner....
Guys, I’ve had this vegetarian sweet potato nachos recipe up my sleeve for over two month’s now and I really couldn’t wait any longer to share it! But the reason it was delayed was because it has taken me so long to try and get a good photo of it! Just when I thought I was happy with my photo I realised I forgot to put on guacamole - SHAME!...

Corn on the cob is one of my all-time favourite vegetable side dishes and I was delighted when I discovered just how easy it was to make it in the air fryer. I use foil packets to corn the corn which makes the kernels just as tender and juicy as they are when boiled in water. Throw a little bit of butter in there and you end up with perfectly cooked buttery corn cobs that the whole family will love....
I’m so excited to be finally posting these Greek Zucchini Fritters. They’re a delicious and easy dinner I think you’ll all love. These fritters are called Kolokithokeftedes in Greece. “Kolokythi” means zucchini, and “Keftedes” means meatballs. The literal translation is “zucchini meatballs”, or zucchini fritters as we know them. What sets Greek Zucchini Fritters apart from other zucchini fritters is the addition of feta cheese and dill. I’ve intentionally kept this recipe as authentic as possible to give you a real taste of Greece at home....
Spanakopita (span-a-kop-ita) is a delicious and authentic Greek Spinach Pie. There’s probably not a more classic Greek pairing then spinach and feta - and they well and truly shine in this dish. You’ll find Spanakopita on the menu at any self respecting Greek restaurant, but nowadays you are also just as likely to find at your local cafe. If you have yet to try it, you’re in for a treat!...
Everyones love chilli con carne… but we all seem to have different ideas on how to make it! Its origins are hotly debated along with the must-have ingredients and how “hot” it should be. So let me start by saying I am by no means brandishing this dish “authentic” or even “classic”. But it is a much loved chilli that comes together quickly and easily and has a lot of flavour....
Found yourself with a bunch of bananas that have ripened quickly and not sure what to do with them? Don’t just leave them on the counter until they’re as black as coal and you’re forced to throw them in the bin. Freeze them instead! Frozen banana slices can be used for smoothies (my favourite) or nice cream and are perfect to keep on hand in the summer. The best way to freeze bananas is to peel, slice and flash freeze before storing for good....
Is it even summer if you don’t enjoy copious amounts of frozen treats? Homemade popsicles are SUPER easy to make and are much healthier than the store bought kind. Plus they are just as if not more delicious so there’s no excuse not to make a batch! These Mango Popsicles are my new favourite. A few simple ingredients give the popsicles a light and creamy taste. The only problem you’ll have is stopping at just one....
This vegetarian quiche is something I’ve been working on for awhile now. I’ve always defaulted to throwing some ham in my quiches (like this impossible quiche) but since we’re trying to add more meatless meals to our weekly meal plan I wanted a just-as-good veggie one. I’ve lost count of how many attempts we’re on now but I’ve finally nailed it and I’m so excited to get it out there....
I questioned whether the internet really needed one more banana bread recipe but one bite of this Buttermilk Banana Bread and I knew the answer was YES. I have a Low Sugar Banana Bread that gets a serious workout in our house. It’s healthy and better for you and really delicious. I like to think of it as my everyday banana bread. But this Buttermilk Banana Bread - it’s your real deal, sugar-loaded, cafe-style banana bread....

Have a can of lentils sitting in the back of the pantry that you haven’t been sure how to use? Dig it out now and make this Vegetarian Bolognese! This rich and hearty lentil bolognese sauce is meatless but I bet even the carnivores in your family won’t notice that it’s meatless. They’ll be too busy asking for seconds! Spoon the sauce over your favourite pasta - I use spaghetti but something like penne or spirals would work well too....
