A better for you chocolate chip cookie


I have found that snacks are a necessity to help you though an Olympic fever :-) And in the Olympic spirit of sports and eating healthy, these cookies are just the right snack for any event.
These lovely cookies taste just as good as any cookie, but with no egg, butter or white sugar, but packed with vitamins from the nuts and with slow release of energy, so a great snack after doing sports.....or watching some ;-)


I know I say “they are so easy to make” a lot, but these really are super easy to make, and great to make with kids, as they can help with almost the whole process, from measuring, stirring and shaping.

Small chocolate cake-brownies. Gluten, Dairy, Egg and White Sugar free.


You would never believe that these little cake like brownie are Egg, Gluten, Dairy and white sugar free if you didn’t know it, and none of your guest would know it either, they would simply think that they had just tasted one of the best chocolate cakes ever.
Even good for people who are keeping an eye on their cholesterol.

Naturally sweetened apple sauce

The main reason for me putting this recipe on the blog is because it is good to use in Gluten free, Egg free, White sugar free and Dairy free baking, but this recipe is also delicious to use on you breakfast porridge or as a healthy desert with some roasted nut and maybe a bit of lactofree whip cream.

You can make this on the amount of apples you have, simply just ad up with how many grams of apples you have. 400g apples makes about 300g apple sauce.

Per 100g of peeled and cored apples use:
½ tablespoon agave syrup or sweet freedom (available in most supermarkets)
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Eggs Benedict

With Bacon

A long weekend is just not right without a bit of brunch for you to have enjoyed it to the fullest.

One of mine favourite dishes for brunch is defiantly eggs Benedict. Now it isn’t the easiest or healthiest of dishes, but if any weekend would be perfect for this dish, it would defiantly be the jubilee weekend.

Raspberry cream layered cake



Only made half the recipe, as I was doing a small cake

This cake is made up of only 8 ingredients, and very easy to make.
It is made up of thin cake layers, layered together with a raspberry cream.
And is good to make for special occasions, as the layers are best baked a day or 2 before, and should be put together at least a few hours before served, so that only leaves decorating just before serving and makes it a lot less stressful.
