I adore finding new and healthful ways to incorporate beetroot into my weekly diet. Beetroot is often over-looked as an 'I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-it' type food. Well worthy of our attention, it is ridiculously healthy - right up there with the healthiest of foods.
I've been making 'stir-steamed' veggie dishes for quite some time now. It's our super easy, healthy, 'fast food' go to meal.

It's a bit of a take on the traditional chinese stir-fry, except the only thing that is fried is one quick minute of garlic. The vegetables are essentially steamed in a very small amount of water, right there in the pan.

Cooking in this way brings out a delicious depth of flavour, making them very [...]
Gluten-free wraps are a real treat when you are leaving gluten out of your diet.

I also adore the organic black rice wraps by 'Food for Life' that I found [...]

Home made conscious chocolate is one of those decadently delicious, rewarding joys in life – not least, a perfect way to share with friends from the heart! As a health seeker who didn’t eat chocolate for many years, I relented a while back after finding a way to create conscious, healthy chocolate. Made with quality ingredients, it can be a nourishing treat to be savoured and enjoyed… in gentle moderation, of course.
