It’s Christmas this week! And this means that every meal I eat will be Christmas themed!!! Totally joking! But I will be eating this nice cream frequently both with and without that topping because it’s DELICIOUS. And super easy.
POACHED CHICKEN IN A SPICY COCONUT BROTH WITH SWEET POTATO NOODLES
This is so simple to make and so full of flavour. It feels like you’re eating something healing too because of the slurpy broth and big vegetable content. The gently poached chicken adds extra flavour to the broth, however you can leave it out, swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock and you’ve got a great vegetarian meal.
STRAWBERRY AND CREAM TARTS
These tarts are creamy, sweet and delicious. They also happen to be dairy free and vegan and the home made pastry is so easy to throw together. They’re also really festive looking!

BLACK RICE, COCONUT AND AVOCADO SALAD
This salad is so tasty. Filling enough to eat on it’s own and it looks so pretty, look at those flecks of red, the creamy green avocado and golden toasted coconut. All the yum.
RAW CARROT CAKE BLISS BALLS
YUMMMMMM! Carrot cake, but healthy? Yes please! I am a big carrot cake fan (thus these carrot cake waffles) and also a big bliss balls fan. These guys came about as a treat to take on the plane with me and a way to use a carrot I had left in the fridge.
SWEET POTATO NOODLE STIR FRY
Sweet potato as a noodle! So quick and easy to make and so much flavour and vegetable in one bowl. It also reheats really well so you can take your leftovers to work, meal prep sorted!
PERSIMMON SMOOTHIE BOWL
I found a bag of persimmons at my local market for $2 last week. They were in varying stages of ripeness and all nice and little. So I thought, screw you fructose I’m buying these. And I am so glad I did, because it turns out I can still totally tolerate a little persimmon, they were so sweet and delicious and made for the tastiest non-chocolate smoothie bowl I’ve had in a while.
CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN AKA FINGER-LICKIN-CHICKEN
Crispy, juicy, spicy finger-lickin’-chicken. This recipe is all kinds of good. The chicken is at once crispy and covered in a juicy glaze. It’s a little like eating fried chicken, but not fried, so also not like fried chicken. More like the best crispy baked chicken you will ever taste. Big call, but I’m backing myself on this one. I really like it, if you couldn’t tell.
