Those of you who have been reading Cardiff Mummy Says for a while will know how much I love soup. I eat it all year round, but it’s especially good at this time of year when it’s still so cold, wet and miserable. The soup is so warming and comforting...
We have an abundance of peanut butter in our kitchen cupboards at the moment. The variety I like – a natural, sugar-free, crunchy style – was on offer… so Cardiff Daddy bulk-bought a little too enthusiastically. I’m not sure if we’ll get it all eaten before the use by date…...
I’m absolutely loving Niomi Smart’s Eat Smart: What to Eat in a Day – Every Day. The cook book is full of delicious plant-based, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free recipes. The kind of food that if you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know I love. It’s a real mix...
I make these Greek-inspired gigantes all the time, and honestly thought I’d already written about them on my blog. It was only when I said I’d send the recipe to a friend that I realised I hadn’t. So for her, and anyone else interested, here you go! Gigantes is a...
I am such a breakfast person! I know some people don’t like to eat in the morning, but I can’t function properly unless my belly is full. I’m not really a fan of conventional cereal though, so I tend to make my own homemade muesli and granola, often served smoothie...
Yes, I am a January cliche! But the new year healthy eating is going well so far. The soup and smoothie recipes I shared on my Facebook page last week got a good reaction, and a couple of friends have asked me for more recipes, so I thought I’d continue...
This vegetable and bean hot pot is such a hearty and warming dish, perfect for these cold and dark winter days. The recipe came about quite by accident. I wanted to make my Moroccan vegetable tagine but forgot to buy chick peas and, unusually for me, didn’t have any in...
Yesterday I shared five of my favourite soup recipes – and today I’m turning my attention to smoothies. All these recipes are perfect if you’re looking to eat healthier now the festive season is over. I’ve been a big fan of smoothies for a few years now. They’re a great...
Just about everyone I know seems to be on a healthy January mission at the moment, after the excesses of the festive season. Cardiff Mummy included! So it’s soup all round in our household in an effort to make up for one too many treats over the festive season. I...
It’s so easy in the winter to reach for stodgy comfort foods. Salads and the like don’t seem anywhere near as appealing when you’re making tea in the dark and you’re cold even though the heating is on full blast. These stuffed mushrooms make a great lunch-time alternative to sandwiches,...
Autumn is definitely here. Leaves are falling from the trees, the nights are drawing in, the heating is now on… and it’s soup season. My last couple of soup recipes have been really popular on my blog, so I thought I would share another one, seeing as I made up a...
