This is my favourite salad of all time! Very simple, easy to prepare, bursting with colour and flavour - if you like butternut squash, I hope you’ll love this

-NB: When the weather takes a turn for the worst and you don’t fancy a salad, you can serve glazed butternut squash as an accompaniment to a main meal, or even use them as an alternative to pasta sheets for a mouthwatering vegetarian lasagne! Continue reading “Hot glazed butternut squash salad”

This salad is ridiculously tasty, surprisingly filling and quite probably foolproof (unless you really do struggle to boil an egg…). Plus, it’s very simple and suits a multitude of additional vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc. I didn’t have any staple salad ingredients at the time, hence the egg, but it was by no means boring! Colourful, nutritious and delicious! Continue reading “Easy-speedy mackerel salad”

Today I tried making this for the first time and I was surprised at how good it tastes.  I was really sick of drinking only water and unsweetened ice tea.  I think that too much stevia is bad for you also it doesn’t seem to go with ice tea as well as it does with lemonade.  For anyone who loves lemonade but doesn’t want the sugar, and thinks most artificial sweetners are bad for you I highly recommend this. Continue reading “Stevia Lemonade”
