Pumpkin Crumble

Dear all,

I'm doing a little bit of throwback Wednesday here. In honour of my foodie friend who is cutting back on (refined) sugar, I made a 'healthy' pumpkin crumble a while ago. The crumble topping had lots of nuts and oats and things in it and I used palm sugar rather than regular sugar.



It was so tasty I don't have a picture of the finished product. Instead I will share a picture of my friend's delicious saoto soup which was the main course that day!!

Carrot cake

Dear all,

I have been digging through my picture archive and realised I may not have shared this cake with you. I make carrot cake quite regularly but for a birthday I thought I'd try decorating it a little differently. I love it!

 I made marzipan carrots for on top (similar to previously made carrot cupcakes) and of course had my usual orange zest cream cheese icing.

For added flair I stuck crumbled walnuts along the side. Pretty nifty if I may say so myself.

Oh and it tasted great too. Brilliant!

Wraps from Scratch

Dear all,

I am a self-proclaimed foodie and over the last few months I have been collaborating with a fellow foodie on some culinary experiments. We have been making a ton of stuff from scratch and have been working on making regular recipes healthier in our own way (less sugar, wholemeal etc). Some of my (failed) experiments have already been posted here and today I would like to share another. My friend suggested making wraps from scratch. It is very easy and I do not understand why I have not done this sooner. Here are our wholemeal wraps made with coconut oil. Scrumptious!

This brilliant vegie wrap had a veg mix in it, home made tomato salsa and topped with home made tatziki (because I had it lying around - who says I can't do fusion food? Was in fact a perfect addition!). 

I will never buy wraps again. Will be experimenting with different flavours as well maybe. Garlic wraps, maybe add chilli or paprika... Highly recommended!

xoxo Jennifer
