Crunchy and delicious, this Air Fryer Cheezy Herb and Garlic Roasted Chickpeas Recipe is the perfect healthy crunchy snack. Nutritional yeast adds a nutrient kick and cheesy taste to this gluten free, vegan, low fat and grain free snack.

What's one thing you'll always find in your pantry? 

At our house, you're always guaranteed to find canned beans, canned tomatoes and chips. Canned tomatoes and beans because we're always using them in recipes - and chips because Jesse cannot go a day or two without them 😅

But sometimes you want a healthier snack than chips - and that's where this recipe comes in. 

Even my chip addict of a husband loves them and they're jam packed full of nutrition. What's not to love?!

A healthy chocolate treat, this Raw Chocolate Coconut Bliss Balls Recipe is like a healthy coconut rough or bounty bar without any of the added sugar. Gluten free, vegan, grain free, egg free and paleo friendly.

I'm one of those people who doesn't know how anyone could "forget to eat". 

You know the people, 2pm rolls around and they realise they've not eaten a single thing all day long.

That is not me. 

As soon as I'm awake, you'll find me sleepily making my way down to the kitchen, flicking the kettle on and grabbing some breakfast - and as Jesse will tell you, I don't really stop eating until I go to sleep 😜

Having healthy snacks on hand is a must from me, meaning that I can always have something nutritious to grab and snack on - and bliss balls are one of my favourite healthy snacks.

Easy to customise with flavours you love, these bites take just a few minutes to make and can be kept in the fridge or freezer for a quick snack.

Because let's be real, when you're stuck at home and there's chips and candy and junk food, you've got to make sure the healthy stuff is just as easy.

They're quick and easy to make and eat, can be taken just about anywhere and last for weeks in the fridge. Better still? They're packed full of nutrients to keep you going.

Keto friendly and low carb, pizza just got a whole lot more irresistible. From pepperoni pizza to your favourite toppings, the possibilities are endless with this versatile recipe. Goodbye regular bread, hello flavour!

This recipe was never supposed to be pizza related.

You see, weeks ago I decided to make my own homemade Brazilian cheese bread after seeing them on Instagram. Unfortunately, whilst they looked amazing, they were SO bland and boring.

So I gave up on them... for a little while.

But then I had an idea!

Why not use the Brazilian cheese bread recipe as a loose base, and then add loads of flavour.

And what flavour goes better with cheese than pepperoni?! (Also the only pizza ingredient I had in the fridge 😜)

So I got to work, adding garlic and herbs and pepperoni. The first batch was a bit too dry, but then I tweaked the recipe adding an extra egg, baking in a different shape and BAM - pizza puffs!

These pizza puffs are seriously delicious and full of pizza flavour. They’re a delicious snack or lunch addition and they take just minutes to make.

They’re grain free, yeast free and SO easy.
