Sweet and Sour Cauliflower

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Fakeaway, Vegan, Vegetables

Sweet and Sour Cauliflower – A great way to get everyone eating lots of cauliflower. I originally made half the quantity and 2 of us devoured it! It works as a starter, side dish or snack when the kids get back from school.
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable. It is high in fibre, to keep your digestive system working well, and low in calories. It is a good quality protein (which means it contains many of the essential amino acids) It is a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Folic Acid and it tastes delicious.

Vegan Mayonnaise

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, No Sugar November, Sauces, Vegan

This must be my quickest recipe….it will take you longer to get out the ingredients than to make the mayonnaise! By making it yourself you know exactly what ingredients it contains and you can add the flavours that you like, to make it taste exactly how you like it.

Tabbouleh

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Salads

Tabbouleh – fresh parsley and mint mixed with onion, tomatoes and cous cous. Parsley is a fabulous source of Vitamin A, K and C. As the parsley is eaten raw, more Vitamin C is preserved than when it is cooked. This salad is filling, nutritious, colourful and really easy to make.

Group Hands-On Cookery Session

by Judianne on in Lessons

These lovely ladies were having a staff training day for their Charity @pjlibraryuk
They wanted to start with something fun and different so they booked me for a hands-on cookery session.
Together we made Sushi, Vietnamese Rolls and Peanut Butter, Banana and Chocolate Bites. They all enjoyed the cooking and eating!

Feedback was “Thank you SO much for today! Everyone had such a great time and loved all the food you taught us how to make. Easy, healthy and delicious – amazing!” and then after the weekend I got another message saying “My team all made the Vietnamese Rolls this weekend for their kids”

That’s the best feedback!

St Clements Cookies

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, No Sugar November, Snacks

These cookies were developed during #nosugarnovember.  I really enjoy them without the maple syrup….. My kids definitely prefer them with.

Sweetened with apples and orange juice (and maple syrup if you want) they’re refined sugar free, gluten-free, dairy-free and a delicious healthy snack.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies

by Judianne on in Dessert, No Sugar November, Snacks

We have a group of over 100 people doing NoSugarNOvember. We are trying to discover more about which foods have sugar added that we wouldn’t expect to have sugar in….. mayonnaise, miso soup, sushi rice, bread etc…

We are not demonising sugar… it is just a food but by not eating refined sugar, dried fruit, sugar syrups (maple syrup/honey etc) for 1 month, we are trying to learn a little more about how to sweeten foods differently and maybe eat a little less sugar.

This recipe can be made with dates (67g sugar/100g) or if you’d like to cut down on your sugar intake,  try making it with overripe bananas (12g sugar/100g) instead. It’s not overly sweet….. but if you fancy a snack with a peanuty chocolatey flavour and a little sweetness…. these are good.

If you make them and enjoy them, please do leave a comment below.
Thank you,

Judianne

Mummy’s Mayonnaise

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Pesach Recipes, Sauces

This is the mayonnaise my Mum used to make – I never even knew that Hellmann’s existed when I was young! I got my mum to show me how to make it and my husband said… “That’s so easy and good – why does anyone buy mayonnaise?” I won’t anymore. Made with just eggs, oil and vinegar – (no sugar needed) Everyone who has tasted it has agreed – it’s good. Try it.

Asian Vegetable and Noodle Broth

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian

This soup is filling, full of vegetables and can be eaten as a complete meal. You can make it vegan by leaving out the eggs. It makes a great packed lunch and as my son kindly said “This tastes much better than it looks” Kids!!!! I think it looks great but there you go.
