Inspiring friendly recipes and thoughts
Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Yesterday was a REALLY stressful day at work and I didn’t even have time for any lunch – I can tell you, I was a big mess by the end of the day! So, on the way home, in order to satisfy…
Dairy-free Lemon Posset
Lemon posset, a traditional English pudding, makes a perfect ending to a lovely meal; the lemon sharpness taking away the heaviness that you might associate with cream.
Provençal Fries (baked and herby)
We used to often go to a fabulous vegetarian restaurant in Brixton, South London called Peter Peppers (sadly now closed) where they served gorgeous Mediterranean vegetarian food.
Golden Syrup Cake
This is a lucysfriendlyfoods version of a classic Tate and Lyle’s golden syrup cake – sweet, squidgy and syrupy all at the same time.
Caramelised Cocoa Cookies
I just had to use my new cookie stamper – this needed a certain type of smooth cookie.
Free-from Chocolate Advent Calendar
All my daughters’ friends seem to have chocolate advent calendars.
Hummingbird Bakery-alike Cupcakes
There’s a Hummingbird Bakery near where I work, so I’ve been lucky enough to visit and admire… the cupcakes look so pretty and tempting, sitting in their neat rows in glass cases.
Curried Parsnip Soup
Brrrr, it’s cold! The temperature has dropped – suddenly it’s frosty, the trees are bare and there’s the hint of Christmas in the air.
Nut-free Homemade Mincemeat
You can certainly tell that Christmas is just around the corner – this week we’ve got a Nativity play, a Christmas party, a carol service and a Christmas market to attend.
Veggie Kedgeree
Big and Little S aren’t very keen on Indian flavours – they kind of assume that if it looks/smells different then they won’t like it, even before tasting.
Homemade Chocolate Spread
Little S has developed a taste for Plamil dairy-free chocolate spread and has it on her toast every morning over anything else.
Iced Fish-shape Biscuits
As the party took place at a leisure centre they provided the (rather substandard!) food and I didn’t get the opportunity to make a whole party feast of allergy-friendly treats.
Lemon and Lime Cordial
I have no idea why I’ve always bought cordials, they’re so easy to make and homemade can only much more natural and therefore healthy than anything store bought.
Mediterranean vegetable and parsley Pasta Salad
I love parsley – it’s so versatile but can often be overlooked by more flamboyant herbs.
